I'm looking for some headphones, and I was wondering what you suggest. Budget: $100 or less Stuff I would be listening to (most often to least often): Classical, Jazz, Movie Soundtracks, actual movies, a little country and oldies rock It has to be quiet, so people within 4 feet of me...

I have the x-ls, excellent speakers. I also have an emotiva bpa-1, which is a nice amp. If you don't really like a ton of bass, you could get the bpa-1 and x-sls towers if you have the space. The towers have more bass than the x-ls. Personally, for just about anything, i think the bass on the...

I don't overclock anything at all. CPU, RAM, video card, nothing

I haven't done any overclocking and the GPU wasn't overclocked from the factory either. I have an antec P180 case, with all of its built in fans. It could crash with or without the front filters cleaned (tested it) I have monitored my 8800gts, and the odd thing is, it only gets up to 65...

By the way, I don't know if this matters with the ram problem, but I tried memtest and it passed, no errors.

Because other people in my house don't like listening to it :-p I'll try using the ram sticks one at a time and seeing if they work.

What is a sequal of death? EDIT: squeal, sorry, didnt read it right. It doesn't squeal. However, if sound is on, it skips like a broken record on the last bit of sound. EDIT2: also, I usually disable sound in games.

My comp: Geforce 8800gts thermaltake 700w amd x2 2gb ram When I run games, my computer locks up. The higher the graphics quality of the games, the sooner it crashes. In Gunz: The Dual, it has rediculously low graphics requirements and will only run at 1600x1200. Even at the highest...

The T-amps are ok, but there is a slight problem with bass. I got a BPA-1, which is $60 over budget for you, but they added a ton of bass. If your budget is around 100, you should get the super t-amp (which reviews say fixed the bass problem) or you could get a receiver. You could look for a...

I just got my pair of X-LS today and they are very nice.

In reviews, I saw that the SVS did not sound as good as the X-LS at normal listening volumes. However, if you want "loud party speakers" the SVS would probably be better for that. I'll tell you what I think of the X-LS when I get them today. :)

I've heard really good reviews about the AV123 X-LS speakers. If you get the black ones, its $260 including shipping. I ordered them and they are in the mail. I'll tell you what I think in a few days.

Those are already out, but with them at $450 and $95 shipping, I can't afford them.

very good recording

What are the best floorstanding or bookshelf speakers under $400 (including shipping)? Some I have seen are the Onix X-SLS, which, from reviews, seems to be the best. Or should I get http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=302-016&CFID=503362&CFTOKEN=53514574 Or...
