to run all my games like a boss

because you want a new future customer

I'm a little teacup

i'm in here b/c i don't like buying things at full price

Thats my point too. I certainly understand the idea that there are different speaker designs for different applications, but I don't see how computers are that much different than other things such as music studios or home theater. With computers, you may have limited desk space (so smaller is...

I'll bite and ask a very specific question: why should you buy 'computer' specific speakers? Do they play the windows startup that much better?:D In all seriousness, I see somewhat of a need for computer speakers (I think most people are going to want smaller speakers for their computer...

audioengine a5. I've also heard good things about Mackie MR5, but never had a listen for myself

Headphones are just like speakers! Many, many options. I think you probably can get better quality. You don't need to spend $800 to get a quality setup. I really like my bass, so I've got a set of dt770's (80ohm) that I picked for $90 new from the manufacturer on ebay. Usually they are a...

If you were happy with your z680's you should at least check out the z5500. I'm not a fan, but they're your ears :-) Can you do 2.0 or 2.1, or are you set on 5.1 speakers? If the former, then there are excellent powered speakers to be had out there, which wouldn't require you to buy a...

You've got plenty of options... I assume you'd want to get rid of your z5500's as a set. How handy are you? For little cost, you could pick up a subwoofer off partsexpress.com and a plate amplifier to go the DIY route, or if you'd rather buy people seem to like the velodyne vx-10, although I...

when the OP says that $300 for speakers borders on "too expensive" I doubt a $700 receiver is in their budget... OTOH, if you really want to get into "audiophile" category you're budget is probably too low based on the speakers you're asking about. If you really want audiophile stuff you need...

Either one will be an upgrade coming from the z5500. I bought them based on all the raving reviews, but was disappointed when comparing them to my dying klipsch 4.1's. The little 2 inch drivers in the satellites just don't cut it. I think you'd be better served to cut over to head-fi and...

If thats for a 2.0 budget, you should also consider the audioengine a5. I really enjoy mine

yea i remember that too, but there used to be a few mods good about answering questions... try and pm one directly?
