I've heard arguments saying that bookshelf speakers aren't designed for near-field listening (such as when I'm at my PC). Is there really going to be a significant difference between the Audioengines and a pair of $50-$100 bookshelf speakers (such as the Pioneer SP-BS21-LR)?

Definitely sounds like I just need to get a dedicated sub. I typically buy stuff of quality that will last a long time (~6-8 years), I'm wondering if I should just step up to the A5 and add an inexpensive sub.

I was expecting it to not deliver the same level of bass, but at least a similar range (for a similar price point). It sounds like I need to just add a subwoofer to the mix, is there a compatible/comparable one I can use?

So, long story short my Klipsch 5.1 setup on my PC is dying (again) and I'm hunting around for replacements. I picked up an open box special pair of A2s today, and I am frankly very underwhelmed with the bass performance and fullness of sound. I was hoping I could get some recommendations based...

I respect the OPs opinion. I remember overclocking my 386DX, then eventually my Pentium 90 to 133mhz. My OC roots are in maximizing what is available to me, which was typically the cheapest option back then.

Is this normal? 2500K, stock air cooled...seemed a bit high to me.

I have had a very reliable pair of Ultra 5.1's that I've owned since around December of 2005. I've never had an issue out of them except for a static noise that fades within 3-4 seconds of toggling it to speaker mode from headphones (using the power button). Yesterday the speakers were working...

While I was considering it I'm still not sure. If I sell my x800 XT PE I'd surely be able to get 350$ since it already has a silencer on it. On top of that the motherboard I'm using doesn't leave alot of room between the CPU heatsink/fan and the video card, so I'm really cramped right now with...

:D Really did you already order one? And it only took you one week??? That's great. Which one ya work at BTW?

Hiya, got a little situation I need some input on. Right now I own a x800 XT PE with a ATI Silencer 4 attached to it. My first question is; the silencer has started to become a real nuisance in terms of the sound. I'm not sure if it's the fan or what but it's making a rather annoying...

Thanks for the interest checks, just a heads up I won't be parting it out.

Just get the one in my signature :)

So what exactly is a safe voltage for the WCs? I'm running mine right now at about 1.55 and it's completely stable reaching 52 celsuis after 10-12 hours of Prime95. I'm interested in seeing if kicking up the RPM's on my Zalman and turning on my front bay intakes will allow for a lower temp...

Don't see why not seeing how Intel and Dell are in bed with one another.

Got the 7000Cu Zalman on mine and it runs great.

:cool: Indeed Love both my purchases, I'm also a Engineer by day :) Computer Engineer from Georgia Tech.

Couldn't disagree more personally. I ordered mine from Monarch and it worked fine, and that's with the older 1.2 BIOS. Unless you're shopping on Pricewatch I don't think you'll have a problem. I have issue with VIA boards, I've had absolutely no problem in the past with my nForce boards but...

I recommend my signature :)

Still available.

Well I wouldn't judge all Best Buy employees based on your experiences with one store. I'm a Computer Engineer from Georgia Tech and a long time computer nerd. Most everyone I know there is extremely knowledgable when it comes to computers.

I work at Best Buy and I love our Customer Fullfillment program. I ordered my 172x over it with discount and just ordered a x800 XT PE off it as well. Yesterday there were 2 left, today I checked and they had a full 11 available. If you want an XT PE, walk into your local Best Buy and talk to...

Mine was great until two of the posts snapped off into the nuts that you fit on top of them. I contacted them for a warranty return but we will see what becomes of that. It dropped the idle temperature around 10 degrees celsuis and around 12 degrees on full load.

ygpm.

Do you have the Best Buy service plan with it?

:) Thanks
