Thanks for the heads up. I updated the links, hope they work now.

Absolute disgrace

Form follows function in good design. It doesn't start with form and it doesn't end with function... I don't know about the latest, but I really like my InWin case.

Yep, you nailed it.

Problem with google is they're just not that trustworthy anymore.. I deleted my google+ account because a) It was stupid and pointless.. and b) tired of these people thinking they can stick my face on ads and bother my friends with them.

Most stupid article I've read all day *golf clap*

The local theatre near me started charging $5 a ticket. It is full every night pretty much. Whereas the AMC nearby with its $14 tickets has a dozen people in it. Theaters would make more money by lowering their prices.

The good old days, now it's shite.

You bust out the paint and paint each side like me too?

:( They'd better not shut down Battlefield Bad Company 2 any time soon... That's the only game I really play frequently.. he later BF game are a step backwards IMO

It is mostly idiocy. Some speakers are designed that way but they are a minority. Some such as Bose 901s are designed that way and they frankly suck. I don't even know what the hell it is your trying to say, or what point you are making. tell me what all these speakers are that are designed...

And yet I know half a dozen gay couples who have kids. Sperm donation, adoption etc.

Beautiful case

I've never said any such thing. I'm not going to get into it with you as it's pointless since you don't pay attention to the opinions or postings of others.

I don't believe you read anybodies comments, you just disagree with them.

Yep, cabinets are not simple anymore for top end speakers

Curved enclosures are very simple to do, they are often made by bending the MDF under pressure or using a series of cuts. The Pioneer BS22 used curved cabinets and they are about $120 a pair.

You tell that to all the DIYers who design and build their own speakers. Copying someone elses design is little different to assembling a kit. Yes it's DIY. They are both DIY, but one is done in order to save a small amount of cash, the other is done because of love for audio, engineering and...

Don't patronize me sunshine. No one elected you the source of all knowledge and in this case you are wrong. It's mostly idiocy to design a speaker with room interaction in mind. Because rooms vary. You could have a 100 sq foot room in the shape of a cylinder or an 1800sq ft room. How can you...

DIY is not simply building a nice looking box to house a couple of off shelf components. I mean, everything is so much more complicated than that. You have to design crossovers, maybe build Zobel networks to flatten impedance and this is just the basics, this is before you get into quarter wave...

Maybe on the Q100s, but the higher up you go on the KEF chain the UniQ driver becomes a dedicated midrange rather than trying to do the bass to. On the R900s I think it gets crossed over at 400hz to two 8" drivers. So this effect is much less pronounced At the moment I cross mine over at 80hz...

Yep. But room is a different problem to solve. The goals for speaker design do not change, you can't design a speaker with a certain room interaction in mind as all rooms are different.

I personally don't like the sound from my T-amp. It is thin, sounds like a receiver.When I switch it with a dedicated amp there is a big difference. They are cheap, small and often good enough, it depends on your purpose. TV and gaming they are fine, but I don't like mine for music at all.

I have the exact same card and there was a very big difference between it and the onboard audio. It also performed slightly better than my old MAudio revolution 5.1 Maybe you need better headphones, or an amp or source etc the STX is for music, I've gamed with it but not paid attention to the...

Those Kefs are great. Their Uni-Q driver has solved a lot of problems. I got a set of the Q100s a few weeks back, they really do everything very well. They don't have the sense of scale as my floorstanders, but they're accurate and sound damn good.

There are design goals with any speakers worth owning. Low distortion. (drivers and cabinets). Correct phasing of drivers. A flat frequency response. An extended frequency response. taming of artifacts from drivers in the crossover etc etc. Fundamentally it is an engineering problem. It is an...

I wouldn't go as far as saying these are high end, but for PC speakers they're pretty damn good http://www.amazon.com/KEF-X300A-Digital-Speaker-System/dp/B00AXYKF30

I don't agree with this at all. There is a chasm of difference between a high end audiophile setup and some "adequate" 2.1 PC speakers. And although these days you can get a hell of a lot for your money, the diminishing returns are not that severe..

Yeah it's 100% ads. Some of it is paid by advertisers, the other 50% is the handful of friends that constantly updates about how awesome everything in their life is. (so much so they spends all their time on facebook...)

This thread sucks to read. AMD sucks, Intel sucks blah blah It's not about just the processor it's about the entire build. I've got two builds one based on an i5 3350p and one based on an AMD 1055t. The AMD rig is faster even if the processor itself is likely slower on single threads. Why...

I wish there was a little more room behind the motherboard tray, think I need to get a modular PSU. I bought a Antec Kuhler, yet to install. The pics don't do it justice, this is the nicest case I've seen..

Cool stuff!

In Win is killing it with their cases recently... I thought this one was kind of ugly initially... but the glass becomes a mirror when the power is off.. Looks absolutely awesome. Not for me since I just bought the 904 a few hours ago which IMO is even prettier.... But now I want the glass...

This is a beautiful case... If I was designing a case I'd make it look like this. Just pulled the trigger.. $180 from microcenter, picking it up later today. Thanks for the review and the heads up about microcenter, I guess the MiR ends in a few days.

I got to say I don't think very much of my T-amp a topping TP21... It's supposed to be 25watts but it barely gets my speakers to a decent level (89 db efficient floorstanders), bass is wimpy. But it was very cheap and it's very small, but it's a night and day difference between it and my Denon...

Look on craigslist... I got a 150 watt RMS sub 10" for $40... Failing that, build your own or buy one of the cheapies (BIC, Dayton 1000 etc)

Pioneer BS22 can be found for $80 at Walmart. Throw in a Lepai T-amp for $20 Though Personally I'd drop a little more and get a T-amp with more power.

Yeah, that's why I've always preferred AVRs with analog inputs and Pre outs... Don't need o keep upgrading your receiver every time HDMI 2.347 comes out. Analog in, let your HTPC handle DAC. Pre out, let an external amplifier handle the amp stage. Also lends itself to home theater bypass...

Spend the $300 on speakers.
