If you're going the "big speaker" route, look into floor speakers with at least 12 inch woofers and a 100watt/channel stereo receiver... Hook in the computer for your music source, like I detailed in the other thread... It'll be pricey but it will be entirely worth it. Think Bose 901 or...

It's true most everywhere. Any audio gear with auxiliary inputs (for a tuner, cd player, etc. but not a turntable (that's different)) can be connected to at least the front left and right channels of your sound card. Home theatre amps get them all... Killer amp? How's this...

Yep, you can... but then you need amplifiers and speakers for the rest of it... you are not ahead of the game. Sub woofers do one thing... they fill in the bottom end, mostly infrasonics, between about 10hz and 100hz... the human ear is mostly deaf at those frequencies, you FEEL the sound more...

Actually no. I picked up the x-240s to replace a really good sound system that gave up the ghost on me. It had been dying for a while and I was getting tired of reparing it. The x-240s were on sale for 1/2 price so I grabbed them thinking they'd be OK till I had money to put into a homebrew...

I did...and, as I said earler, even I was surprised. Edit: One thing you should note is that most PC speakers in the mid to upper range actually use the same audio amplifer hybrid chips that are used in Home Theatre systems... The TDA1559 is very common as is the LM1875. Most pre-amp...

Hoping this is a conversation starter... :) Over a number of years of messing with PC audio, trying to get decent sound from CD and MP3 playback, looking for really dazzling midi performance, I've often noticed the speakers are the real weakness in the chain. Most sound cards do a pretty...

Ordinarily I would agree with you. In past attempts at this, swapping out the speakers had mostly left me wondering why I bothered. However, the X-240s have some pretty interesting electronics in them... TDA series amplifier chips which, although cheap as rice, are well known for stability...

Hi. I recently purchased a relatively cheap set of 2.1 speakers; the Logitec X-240s. Got them on sale for $50.00 and they're not bad. If you have a little tech skill one thing you might want to expriment with is replacing the desktop speakers on some of these inexpensive setups. With the...

Are we absolutely sure he didn't explode, damaging the cellphone?

Hi Rory... first post here, 30 year electronics tecnician... I snagged a set of X-240s on sale and decided to play with them on my sounblaster 5880 card (used for high end midi reproduction). Up front they're never going to deliver mind bending high dynamic range response...Really... $50.00...
