    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    As promised here's a pic of it all set up :). I think I've got my bi-wiring wrong though on the rear and centre speakers though so I'll look at that tonight. The front two are bi amped and I'm fairly certain I've got that done correctly! Are your speakers bi-wired? if so could you show me how...

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    I'd love to except it's only going to be where it is temporarily :( Once I'm settled somewhere though I'll definitely do that. The receiver has this thing called DCAC: Advanced D.C.A.C precisely fine-tunes and adjusts the phase frequency of sound from speakers to match your living room’s...

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    Yeah well that's why I went for slightly more high end stuff. So I don't sit there thinking this could be better.. I can't wait for it all to arrive - I'll post pictures once it's here :)

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    I went with what I wrote in post above :) 10.1 bookshelf, 10.5 front, 10.cs centre and the sony amp. The amp has rave reviews - it's awesome apparently. Packed full of features too :) And yeah I went overbudget but it should be a pretty awesome system :)

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    Thanks :) is a sub not necessary with these speakers? Is it possible to mix and match? I.e get the 9.1 pair, get a 10.4 pair and then see what centre speaker comes up? Or will the sound not match properly.. The Diamond 10.0 is about £20 cheaper than the 9.1, so I'm thinking a pair of 10.0's...

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    I'm looking around the £400 - £600 mark - maybe £700 at a push, but if there's anything cheaper that will do a good job I'd definitely be interested! It's for my bedroom which is about the size of a medium living room (it's pretty big as bedrooms go). I'm definitely looking for bookshelf (on...

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    My budget is about $800 - $1000. I may want to connect other sources so an amp sounds like the right way to go, although probably only 1 extra games console. My setup is: 24" BenQ XL2420TX Nvidia 3D vision 2 display i7-3770k Corsair H80i 2 x EVGA nvidia GTX 670 signature 2 ASUS® P8Z77-V LK 8GB...

    Looking to beef up my PCs sound system

    Hi, I've got a pretty high end gaming PC which I spent all my money on. Now I've saved up a bit more and I'm looking to finish it off. I know I need to stick a sound card in it (was thinking an asus xonar phoebus solo), and I'm looking for a set of surround speakers to match the card. I don't...
