    New B&W MM-1 computer speakers and other options

    Sorry, I don't know much about Dynaudio. I just figured they outsourced like is so common now and noticed the design looked similar to HiVi's drivers. Thanks for clearing that up though; I don't like supporting companies that copy others' designs. While hooking up those Dynaudios to a sub...

    New B&W MM-1 computer speakers and other options

    It looks the MC-15's use ~$150 Dynaudio tweeters and the same $70 6" HiVi woofers that Swan uses in their D2.1 speakers, so at least the drivers are in line with the price. However, for $1,200 I'm sure you could piece together something better (although bigger if a receiver were to be used) or...

    Best 2.1 for less than $100?

    I had a Logitech Z-4, luckily I was able to sell it for more than I paid for it. I'm not a fan of "computer" speakers anymore. Without going with a receiver and passives, your best bet would be a Swan M10 or d1080mkII. If your budget is set at exactly $100, you could try picking up a...

    Control Pod?

    I was going to suggest the Griffin Powermate, but it doesn't have any 3.5mm jacks. That Mackie BigKnob looks pretty sweet, though.

    polk monitor 40 help

    VSX-519 is a solid choice. It's their current model, you'll have to buy it new. There's one for $169 with free shipping (plus 8% bing cashback) on ebay. It has HDMI, S/PDIF, and binding posts so you should be set, and you can't beat getting a warranty. Do a quick review search on amazon and...

    polk monitor 40 help

    I have a H/K AVR 135 on the way should be here by the weekend. I love the way they look, with the light-up volume dial and two tone black and silver faceplace. If you need optical in, you must buy a AVR multi-channel receiver; the only recent two-channel H/K receiver than has optical in is the...

    polk monitor 40 help

    Either pair of terminals, just make sure the jumper bar is connected. The two terminals are there for bi-wiring or bi-amping. Yeah, there's a few that should be superior to Monitor 40's. I have a pair of 30's, and while they're pretty good party speakers (cheap, efficient, and bright) I...

    Best bang for buck PC speakers?

    Keep in mine that the M10 woofer is actually a midwoofer, and meant to go between the two satellites, on your desk. Which is why it has the volume and bass knobs on it. It won't go as low as a dedicated subwoofer, maybe to the mid-40's, but either of the Swans will give you much better bang...

    Swan d1080 or M10. Don't think you can do better for under $120.

    In need of help finding speakers

    If you have $300 to spend on just a pair of bookshelves, Energy RC-10's are hard to beat. If you mean your budget is split between a receiver and speakers, then try to find a used Onkyo SR50x or Harman Kardon AVR 135/145/154 on ebay for around $100 (it can be done: I paid $59 for my Onkyo SR500...
