I ended up ordering the KEF Q150's and the Dayton amp. Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

notarat That Dayton amp doesn't have a lowpass filter. It seems like subwoofer output is rare on these amps to begin with, and low pass filters even more so. I guess I could technically buy a minidsp later, but that's even more money on top of a sub. I saw this Dayton amp...

If using bookshelfs are fine, I might splurge on my budget and get a KEF Q150 pair. They are on sale right now for $300. If I do that I can buy a subwoofer anytime later.

Is it alright to get standard bookshelf speakers to use in a PC setup instead of near fields? Is there any other alternative dac/amp you'd recommend instead for this setup. I'm not sure I want to go back to being worried about making sure I turn off the tube amp for fear of lowering the life...

Hello, I recently had my Klipsch Promedia 2.1 pc speakers destroyed by a chipmunk my cat brought into the house. I'm looking to replace them and my budget is around $150 to $250. I was actually thinking about possibly getting the Creative Labs Sound BlasterX Katana soundbar. It's price right...

So disappointing to hear this doesn't work on IPS panels :( I wanted to do this to my Dell U3415W. I developed a wavy pattern on my moniter that I was hoping I could get rid of when taking the AG coating off.

Yeah I've had a laptop and stuff. I can control light and reflections can be controlled on my end. Aa shit they dont' have integer scaling yet? Shit They are slow? Input lag or the pixels themselves shifting? Never heard of problems with the latter. I'm not usually playing anything...

So I've been on the Ultrawide life with a U3415W Dell Ultra Wide but I just love the look of glossy displays like Apple Displays and most high end TV's. I don't know if it would be crazy to forsake gsync and high hz, which I haven't tried yet or to not wait for HDR monitors to come out and...

Well this fricking sucks. Have had the monitor for a week and all of a sudden today it starts displaying a red/magenta line right through the middle vertically half way through the screen. It appears even without an input, so it is something wrong with the monitor itself. I guess I'll have to...

It wouldn't have come from the factory when it was first made, but is there a possibility this was missed or neglected when refurbishing the unit someone previously?

Was able to rush home from work to bring it in, set it up, and play with it for just a few minutes. It's sooooo wide. It's weird. The curve is super subtle that at times it doesn't look like a curve. Are the other LG and Samsung panels curvier? Haven't really gotten a chance to check the...

My monitor comes today :) I'm upgrading from a 2713HM. I hope there is a visual upgrade too.

Welp my decision was made for me. It was sold for $350.

I saw one available on Craigslist. It still costs a bit and I'll have to drive a good bit to pick it up, and I'm sure it wasn't bought recently, even though the seller says they still have a receipt. I've become kind of bored with my 2713HM. I was going to order that monoprice one on sale...

I already did that. . There isn't any room in the case lol. There's only 4 trays. I don't know how I would be able to expand it beyond getting a new case, but I know a lot of this dell shit is proprietary so I don't know how well that would work. The other thing that sucks about this thing...

Wow, I really appreciate these fast responses. I didn't realize all of this extra stuff was entailed. I do have another server, a Dell with a Xeon Processor from 2011, that I can utilize too. The only problem with it is that it is stuck with 4 SATA Ports (actually had 5 but one died so I'm using...

So I'm building a new PC and will have my old system with a 3770K sitting there with nothing to do. I wanted to turn it into a server that would facilitate with Storage, Plex, and other such utilities. What would be best for doing this stuff taking cost out of the factor? I can get a license for...

Wait, the Fredde isn't height adjustable to the desk portion? Shit. I don't know if I can reach the height standard of the nords for proper ergonomics :S

Anyone that has a Fredde, could I fit a 27 in monitor in the center and a 24 in monitor to the side? The only thing that is preventing me from getting the Fredde is the narrow size and lack of depth that I see the Jerker had. From pictures of the jerker, it looked like you could have monitors...

I actually tried to do this awhile ago, but couldn't get it to work. This was mostly because my PC is farther away and I was using a 15 foot HDMI cable going to a receiver, from the receiver an HDMI cord then going to the TV. I'm not sure if it was HDMI 1.4 (if its required) as well. Would...

Awesome. I'll try testing this out with my HX929

I get mine on Monday. It seems everyone so far that received theirs from the slickdeals deal, which had a delay, are receiving the 01 Revisions. I'm upgrading from a Dell 24" 2408WFP. I also got a HP 27" IPS LED Backlit monitor 27xi for $200.

Is the 30" Monitor Matte or Gloss?

I have a HX929. It is a 2011 model, but it has Motionflow XR 960. Will this not work on it though?

I'm not sure a receiver will be viable in my situation, but who knows. Reason being I live in a cramped 500 SQFT apartment :( I have a VSX21-TXH Pioneer Elite receiver that I could replace with a new Denon and use the Pioneer with the computer. Reason being is because the Pioneer only has 4...

So I'm building a new computer and I'd like to get a new soundcard with it. I've had an Xtreme Music from my last two builds, but it would always cause driver and BSOD problems. Right now I have a Z-5500, but I'm thinking about possibly getting a 2.0 System from Audio Engine, Swan, Behringer. I...

I thought there were Thunderbolt to DVI or Display Port adapters? That's lame.

I really want to get an Apple Cinema Display, but since the iMacs might get refreshed later this month I might wait since the new Cinema Displays would likely come with it. I don't expect retina screens or anything, but at least it would probably have USB 3 and the new magsafe connector. So is...
