    Are Totem speakers really that good?

    I like the sound of this. :D i've built my own mains and have demoed them next to a pair of B & W 705's, almost everyone listening chose my build. But of course its subjective. Replacing just a tweeter is probably not the best idea, since the crossover is designed around optimizing the...

    Could I do better for the money?

    Hi, let us know how it turns out. Wow provantage ships super fast. lol The Dayton subs aren't THAT bad, lol. I've actually heard the model I recommended, totally think it's a steal for that price. Can't recommend the bic since I did not hear it before.:) Either way you can't go wrong...

    Could I do better for the money?

    My bedroom is a sealed 11'x13' room and I've had everything from a Velodyne DPS-10, Sealed DIY Tc-3000 15" in a 4ft^3 sealed enclosure, an adire tumult 15 in the same enclosure, a dayton Rss390HF in the same enclosure, and currently using an old Ascendant audio Avalanche 15. I also own a Rythmik...

    Worth it to upgrade to i7?

    Best Processor in your cpu career?

    My best would have to be my lucky Celeron 366. Getting 550mhz out of this thing was unexpected and allowed me to hold off on an upgrade for a while. Couldn't afford to upgrade on my terms yet as I was 14 years old back then :D The first cpu I remember owning would be a store bought compaq...

    Worth it to upgrade to i7?

    awesome! Based on what i've seen, I doubt you should worry about upgrading any time soon. :) My question is, would it be worth it to upgrade from the older 65nm Qx6850 to a newer quad core CPU?

    Worth it to upgrade to i7?

    Hi, First time poster, long time lurker here. So yeah, I guess I'm nowhere near top of the line with my Qx6850/ GTX 260 (core 216) but did wonder if I should sell this cpu while I can still get maybe $250 for it and going to the newer 45nm core 2 cpu's ... My guess is this would make even...
