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...

The headphone jack works really well....I use it all the time while gaming when the GF is home. No issues at all.

Doesn't matter. Either one will work. You only need one.

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...

Excellent advice!! The BX10 is incredible, btw....I think I said that.

Do it. I'll buy your 280. PM for details. :)

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...

Soundcard out to the monitors (RCA), soundcard out to the sub (3.5mm to XLR adapter).

That is some serious sound you got there....wow. You could run a gymnasium with those. I bet those mains must weigh a ton!

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...

Try a different USB port? Maybe 64bit doesn't like your hardware?

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.
