I agree with most that a GOOD 5.1 system can be more enjoyable in some games than a 2.1 setup, but my particular 2.1 setup trumps any 5.1 computer audio I've ever heard. My Behringer / M-Audio studio setup positively shits on my old Klipsch 5.1 Ultras, channels be damned.
I do quite a bit of...
I have exactly the same setup as you, the MS40's and the BX10. I ran 3.5mm stereo to RCA from my soundcard main to the MS40's, and then ran 3.5mm mono to 1/4 TRS from the soundcard sub out to the TRS input on the sub. You can get ALL the cables you need for cheap at Guitar Center or any pro...
I wholeheartedly agree....if I was in an apartment, there's no chance I would spend the money on such a setup, it would be a total waste. I might invest in a nice set of headphones, but that would be about it.
I can rock these things at all hours of the night at my house, as long as the...
The MS40's usually retail for anywhere from $129-$199 for the pair, I paid $100 for them brand new in the box, found them on Craigslist.
The BX10s usually reatils from $350-$500, I paid $150 on Craigslist. Stole it.
I have the M-Audio Studiophile BX10s complementing my Behringer MS40 monitors, and it is absolutely incredible. It sounds PERFECT after I spent a few minutes adjusting the levels and x-over. It had adjustable volume, gain, crossover, etc...
It will bring the house down if you want it to...
They actually sound pretty good. I ran them for a day with no sub, and was impressed. They have decent mid-bass and incredible mids and highs, but are missing the lowest end of the spectrum.
If I were going to run just a 2.0 setup, I would probably buy the 8" version of the Behringer monitor...
I was a bit apprehensive about the sub, it's clearly meant for bigger setups...but after a few hours of listening, I'm happy.
It plays SOOOO clean...no distortion, no resonance....wow.
Thanks!! I am digging it so far....we'll see how it breaks in over the next few weeks. I had a pretty limited budget after dropping $400 on mobo, ram and proc last week so I am happy with what I got for the money.
