    KRK RP8G2 + RP10S vs JBL LSR2328P +L2310SP

    topic. I'm leaning towards the jbls just because i can't stand the yellow cones on the krk. but will the krks have that much more power thanks to the 225 watt sub? vs the 180watt jbl I'l be doing a tiny amount of amateur mixing on them but primarily will use them just to listen to music and...

    Will this monitor ever come into existence?

    This is what i'm looking for. I will be using it for web browsing and pc gaming up close, then i'll move back to a couch for media center tv, console gaming and watching bluray movies. For me, the ideal monitor for this setup would have the following specifications: 1920x1080 resolution...

    Audioengine 5s good enough for V-DAC?

    The V-DAC seems to blow the water out of cheaper DACs like the HRT music streamer and the fubar dacs, but most reviewers are testing these dacs with high end speakers... I'm not sure the audioengines will be able to get all 300 dollars worth of dac-osity from the v-dac, but I don't know what...

    When will a 1920x1080 equivalent of the Dell Ultrasharp 2209WA come out?

    Title. The 2209WA is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but I also use my monitor for movies and console gaming and I HATE letterboxing, so 16:10 is not happening. Any guesses? Or is there one already on the market?

    Audioengine 5 speaker stands?

    I was looking around for speaker stands that would work well with a5s, and i found some pics of Audioengine's station at HES 2007 where all their speakers are propped up on some nice looking stands. I figured that if the people at audioengine chose to use these stands to demo their speakers they...

    Using passive bookshelf speakers as computer speakers?

    What equipment would I need to get these bookshelves to function as computer speakers? http://www.thespeakercompany.com/P5-PR-525-2-way-Bookshelf-Speaker-Pair-P42C37.aspx I know i need cables, an amplifier, and a DAC, but I don't really know where to go from there... I think there should...

    How much should I spend on cables?

    My setup: M-Audio AV40 Speakers Polk Audio PSW-10 Subwoofer Xonar D1 sound card Both the speakers and the sub go back to the xonar via stereo rca to 3.5mm cables. Now the av40s came with this really cheap rca cable that sometimes crackled when I jostled the cable, so i'm...

    looking for subwoofer to pair with m-audio av40s

    im looking for a sub to extend the frequency response range of the av40s down from 85hz to around 40hz or lower. The av40s are only $150 speakers, so it shouldn't be hard to find a sub that outperforms them, but the only ones within my price range (under $200) apparently all suck. Anyone...

    Anyone like the new Alienware line of peripherals?

    Alienware now has a complete branded line of gaming peripherals called "TactX" and "OptX." Now i'm sure a lot of people will see the stuff as obscenely overpriced, but IMHO, it's by far the slickest gear on the market. Some pics + info from Alienware's website: Mouse- $100...

    What's a fair price for a 17" CRT?

    Some guy I know has a silver 17' Proview CRT (1024x768 optimal res) lying around i'd like to take it off his hands, but I have no idea how much CRTs are worth now. I was thinking ~ $20... does that sound right? Or am I way off...

    less ugly alternative to the m200mkII's?

    I know the m200mkII's are supposed to be great entry level speakers, but I'm going to be using them with my computer and the styling just clashes so horribly with the rest of my gear that it's just not going to happen. On the other hand... The Audioengine A2s are in the same price range also...

    Review: Alienware OptX 21.5" 1920x1080 gaming monitor

    where can I find one? (lol... yea this isn't a review... whops) I've been looking for the best gaming monitor for the longest time now, and this is the first one that on paper seems to fit the bill. Other than the FW900 obviously but thats not an option. Basically all i need is a 1920x1080...

    logitech x-530 vs swans m200mkII

    Which has more bass? I currently use the x-530s and theres plenty of bass, but its muddy and doesn't sound so great. From what I've read, I should get some pretty clear bass from the m200mkII 's, but obviously two 5" mid-low drivers aren't going to shake the earth. As long as the...

    Is a $55 P965 mobo good enough

    I found this sketchy mobo on newegg and basicly all i want is a mobo that will boot up when i slap a cpu in it- no RAID, OCing, SLi, any of that.. Is there anything horribly wrong with this motherboard that makes it completely out of the question? because otherwise it looks like an amazing deal

    I recently made an impulse purchase and took a 9600GSO 384Mb of my friend's hands for $70 (later found out that they go for $50 and under online :mad:) but now i realize that if i want to play newer games at 1920x1200 im definately going to need something faster. Will two 9600GSOs in Sli cut...

    Is a 600 watt psu enough for a GTX 280?

    Ive got a seasonic s12-600. Its a really good overall psu (and it was kind of overkill when I bought it), but with all ive been hearing about power hungry cards and these crazy 1200 watt psus out im not sure if 600 watts enough to power a single GTX 280. Lets say i get a quad core intel cpu...

    can you tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 24" monitor?

    Ive been hearing some people say 1080p dosen't look any better than 720p on displays smaller than 42" Is this true? I want to get the sharpest image possible but if 720p is just as sharp as 1080p on a 24" monitor I don't see the point in spending the extra money
