    Underwhelmed with Audioengine A2 and need advice

    I've heard arguments saying that bookshelf speakers aren't designed for near-field listening (such as when I'm at my PC). Is there really going to be a significant difference between the Audioengines and a pair of $50-$100 bookshelf speakers (such as the Pioneer SP-BS21-LR)?

    Underwhelmed with Audioengine A2 and need advice

    Definitely sounds like I just need to get a dedicated sub. I typically buy stuff of quality that will last a long time (~6-8 years), I'm wondering if I should just step up to the A5 and add an inexpensive sub.

    Underwhelmed with Audioengine A2 and need advice

    I was expecting it to not deliver the same level of bass, but at least a similar range (for a similar price point). It sounds like I need to just add a subwoofer to the mix, is there a compatible/comparable one I can use?

    Underwhelmed with Audioengine A2 and need advice

    So, long story short my Klipsch 5.1 setup on my PC is dying (again) and I'm hunting around for replacements. I picked up an open box special pair of A2s today, and I am frankly very underwhelmed with the bass performance and fullness of sound. I was hoping I could get some recommendations based...

    Why spend $300-400 on an "overclocking" motherboard?

    I respect the OPs opinion. I remember overclocking my 386DX, then eventually my Pentium 90 to 133mhz. My OC roots are in maximizing what is available to me, which was typically the cheapest option back then.

    SB Overclocking results?

    Is this normal? 2500K, stock air cooled...seemed a bit high to me.

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1's - Amp repair

    I have had a very reliable pair of Ultra 5.1's that I've owned since around December of 2005. I've never had an issue out of them except for a static noise that fades within 3-4 seconds of toggling it to speaker mode from headphones (using the power button). Yesterday the speakers were working...

    My predicament...x800 XT PE or x850 XT?

    While I was considering it I'm still not sure. If I sell my x800 XT PE I'd surely be able to get 350$ since it already has a silencer on it. On top of that the motherboard I'm using doesn't leave alot of room between the CPU heatsink/fan and the video card, so I'm really cramped right now with...

    My predicament...x800 XT PE or x850 XT?

    Hiya, got a little situation I need some input on. Right now I own a x800 XT PE with a ATI Silencer 4 attached to it. My first question is; the silencer has started to become a real nuisance in terms of the sound. I'm not sure if it's the fan or what but it's making a rather annoying...
