I've been stalking the forums for quite some time now, but I think now is time for me to post something. Warning: I am a guy who persuits the perfect sound but also total noobie to the audiophile community, and a very limited spender.    I want to turn my PC to a budget friendly sound...

Looking for a new set of desktop speakers in the $150 dollar price range. Just wondering what you recommend. I will be using them primarily for music, and occasionally for movies. I realize one system is a 2.0 while the other is a 2.1 system. If i did buy the M-Audio's, I'd likely buy a sub...

I have av40 speakers and I was planning on getting the magni amp along with some q701s, but I saw someone say that they got the FiiO E9 because it has a "pre output" to plug speakers into. Is that necessary?

I'm tired of iems, they sound too in my ear (limited soundstage?). (i'm not an audiophile so bear with me sry) i want something that sound more spacious with good vocal, clarity, instrument separation, and a warm sound. i'm very picky and don't like any headphone that has sibilance. I'm also...

Hi everyone, I've got a pair of Klipsch Mode M40 headphones and the left ear cup has torn, could anyone here give me a method to mend this?   I've thought of asking a sewing alterations shop, has anyone here experienced this and what did you do?   Thanks in advanced.

I've been specifically looking for 2.0 system for my new desktop. I currently have Z87-A motherboard and been using Creative Inspire T12. With around $100 budget, is Dayton Audio B652 bookshelf speakers with a Lepai LP-2020A+ amplifier the way to go? I happened to find a long thread while...

Recently I've been interested in investing in a pair of studio monitors to replace my JBL Duet IIIs. I've never really invested a significant amount of money on speakers as I've always saved that money on headphones, but as of late I've been using my PC for audio more than I have in the past...

So. This is what I am looking for:   A PAIR of monitor speakers for under 225. I want to stay away from the 250 range, and under 200 would be ideal, but I do not want to skimp out on my music.   I use FL studio and make music here and there. I love rock more than any genre. Rise against...

Hello everybody,   I am curious about the new Alesis Elevate 5 nearfield monitors. They have pretty nice paper specs. but no reviews after some months of real world use.   I am looking for decent speakers mainly for listening to music at PC or in the bedroom and for some hobby recording...

Which do you guys prefer and why? I am looking to upgrade my setup from av40s. and I was wondering what the pro and cons of bookshelf and studio monitors are? I am open to either. Just trying to figure out what would be better for around $400. thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm sorry for making another thread about this issue, but I really need help and I don't have much time to invest about it. I'm looking for a pair of speakers (I think 2 is better than 2.1 for the price) for listening to music, basically. I'll use them on the computer; I don't need too...

Hello,    I was wondering if I could use /www.vintagecassette.com/optonica/rt_6206 this receiver and a pair of bookshelf speakers with my desktop, and was also wondering if anybody has any insight on a decent pari of bookshelves, preferably under $100.    I've seen the Micca MB42 mentioned...

I'm after something for the computer which will have a Dac which will play 24 bit files and with a amp to power some monitor speakers. Is this possible and where can i get one i am in the uk and the lower the price the better.   Thanks

Hey everyone :). I am currently in college, and I am looking for an awesome speaker setup for my dorm. I was thinking of a 2.1 system or maybe 2.0 system. I don't have enough room for a 5.1 or 7.1 system. My speakers are for music and movies/television. I do listen to dubstep, so I do enjoy...

Now my question is; Which has more bass? The BX5a or the AV-40's with the BASS BOOST on?   I own the AV-40's and I'm wanting to upgrade my speakers for a long time. Now I've heart a lot of good things about the BX5a Deluxe in comparison to the AV-40 but also some contradicting stuff...

Bass isn't a big need as i plan on getting a sub later., I mainly want clarity and sound reproduction. I mainly listen to rock music so it'll have to be good for that, they have to be fun too, i like how my hd555s sound and  i want well a better one of those but as speakers with maybe a bit more...

First I started by buying a Logitech z2300 system. I have thoroughly enjoyed the bass and the satelites were lacking. I had a problem with the sub rattling after about a year, and Logitech replaced them with the Z623s. The woofer especially does not compare to the one of the z623s. So that...

I am looking for computer speakers for around 200 dollars and under. Lower wold be better so a price around 150 would be perfect. I will be using these mainly for music. I do watch movies and play games, but rarely. I listen to hip hop, jazz, and r&b, and pop. I really like speakers with good...

I just received my AV40 yesterday and have been listening to a variety of music with them since. Its mids and treble are noticeably richer and crisper than my old Z-2300's, but I'm really missing the deep bass impact of the Z-2300 sub. I know, I know, the Z-2300's sub is boomy, messy, whatever...

Looking for a cheap amp to go between my iPod Classic and M-Audio AV-40s.  Something under $75.  In terms of music I listen to classic, bluesy rock and hip hop.  I'd like a warm, clear, energetic, big sound... if it's possible to be picky at this price range.  Just listening to them in a living...

I've been thinking about picking up a modest powered sub for these speakers (ie: $150ish or less), something along the lines of a BIC V-1020 or Dayton SUB-100. I'm a bit confused at how it would properly connect in with my setup though.   My AV40s are currently connected to my LD MKIII tube...

I was looking for a internal sound card for my AV-40s i'm getting soon. Preferably one with a 1/4 jack input . Around 70 bucks hopefully.

Man, it always draws down to uncertainty with me.  Anyways, I was about to go with the M-Audio AV40s the other day, but then I came across the Swan D1080MkII08s, which on Audio Insider are only about a $20 difference from the AV40s.  I did try and do some research but couldn't find any reviews...

I bought some AV 40's as bookshelves for a small living room. They are hooked up to my HTPC with a X-FI extreme music but I only use them for music, no movies. As long as I adjusted the EQ they sounded pretty good. But after a month I got bored with them and got bit by the audio bug. So I wanted...

I've searched the forums about this, but most topics seem to be specific to each user's end purpose.   So.....after using my computer's built-in headphone output to run an even crappier pair of cheap PC multimedia speakers for years, I think it's time to step it up.   I'm looking at...
