    Please help me choose the right speaker setup

    Thanks guys, thats a lot of good info. I've been following this 2.1 speaker thread closely as well, and combine that with some web searching, I've come up with the following so far. Pioneer SP BS41 ($150 from kijiji) the guy claims its new, and I couldn't find any other place that sells them...

    Please help me choose the right speaker setup

    Thanks Impulse for the information! I was away for the long weekend and didn't get a chance to follow up. I am planning to retire my current pc (2500k) to a htpc in maybe 3 years, and would like to have that option to use whichever speakers i get now as a part of it, a 5.1 setup most likely (if...

    Please help me choose the right speaker setup

    Thanks Atarione and Wiseguy, you guys are making me feel really good about the bookshelf speakers like the Audioengines, now I just need to find a place where I can test the A2s out, possibly against the A5s. In the mean time i'll need to look into 2nd hand stuff too, possibly for a sub even...

    Please help me choose the right speaker setup

    did you ever feel like you needed a sub when you are playing games or watching movies? I went to a shop and listened to the a5+ today, they are very nice. I was rushed so I didn't get to test its bass thoroughly. I can get them for 350 i believe, how is that? would the holiday seasons bring...

    Please help me choose the right speaker setup

    Hey guys thanks for the input! The polk does look really nice, but quite large for my current table and setup, my room is in fact tiny right now, but hopefully i'll be able to find a nicer place later this year, even the A5+ feels a little large at the moment. How are the audioengine a2s...

    Please help me choose the right speaker setup

    Hi guys I need your advices! I'm thinking about upgrading my speaker setup. After a Tony Bennett concert, I feel the need to get a better set of speakers (I think a 2.1 is good for me, since my room is rather small). I'm thinking about $200-$350 budget (Canadian), I have searched online...

    [H]ardOCP & ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II Giveaway

    Like a lot of us out there, we 660ti would be a tremendous upgrade (running a 550ti currently). However, unlike a lot of the gamers at Hardocp, I value cooling and silence more so than to have the top performance. I value a card's cooling ability because of personal experience, my old...

    $209.99 Asus Directcu 560ti 448 dilemma

    Thanks guys, I just thought that was a really good deal, 200 dollars and the 448 core is basically doubling (or almost) 550ti's performance. I'm kind of trying to stick to single card for better cooling, since the 8800gtx i had was horrible and left a bad taste in my mouth. It's just that my...

    $209.99 Asus Directcu 560ti 448 dilemma

    Hi Guys, my situation is like this, in 2 parts I would really appreciate some suggestion: 1. I'm running a 550ti. I got it from a RMA from an old 8800gtx, which is from my old system that I've given to my cousin. since I'm using the returned 550ti, I got her a 5450 ($30) just yesterday. But...

    Replacement for my EVGA 8800GTX Superclocked

    Hey OP, i just RMA'd a regular evga 8800gtx (768-P2-N831-AR) 2 weeks ago, and I got a 550ti (01G-P3-1556-KR) sent back to me, just received it yesterday. So it is very likely that you will receive the same. I'm still testing out the card, definitely an improvement, I think it's about 50%? If...
