    I really appreciate these informative replies. I might be able to pick up a pair of Paradigm Atom V2s for 80 dollars. Is that a good deal? Thanks!

    2.1 speaker suggestions

    I think I decided to go a 2.0 route. I'd like to spend most of my money on decent bookshelf speakers and spend less on a T Amp like the 25 dollar Lepai . I figure I can always scale up later with a fancier amp and sub. Will a Lepai that's only 20 watts be enough to power bookshelf speakers...

    could I get your take on audioengine 5 bookshelf speakers? Someone is offering a pair for 250 http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rch/ele/3243011804.html Thanks!

    I'll keep an eye out for some Atoms. Do you have any advice on Paradigm Titans or 3se or Mini Monitor speakers? These are some I see available on local postings.

    Thanks for all the details Counterpoint! I'm confused about the "DAC" component in the quoted diagram. Is this a necessary item or can an amp be connected directly to a Xonar DG sound card?

    I think I might be able to buy a used z2300 for 50 dollars through a local posting but I'd have to drive over an hour to a different city to pick it up. The poster replied telling me it was in good condition.

    Thanks for your input Spaceman and Counterpoint! Spaceman: I looked through a couple local listings and I only saw a single still in-box Paradigm Atom for 115 and a undescribed pair for around 90. I contacted both sellers for more details. Counterpoint: I'm leaning more towards the Swan M10...

    2.1 speaker suggestions

    Hello everyone! I'm hoping to get some advice for a decent pair of 2.1 speakers for my desktop. As I was waiting for my account to be validated, I had a chance to creep the "Computer Audio" section for other 2.1 threads but I didn't find anything particularly conclusive. I currently use the...
