You are better off buying the Lepai or Dayton Audio amps from Amanzon. They are only $30 for 15w stero amp and have received decent reviews on Youtube.

No, the panel needs to be replace and a the will exceed the cost of a new unit.

The best speakers for PCs are ones design for nearfield listening. One feature is when more than one driver is used they are very close together. You are right about the Polks with 3 drivers. If you listen too close the sound of each driver does not have the space to blend into a cohesive sound.

I have and use a Asus Transformer. It doesn't really have enough power for those games. But it's Win 8.1 with office include int the price. The main advantages are it's light weight, long battery life, quick start up and low cost. I store all my data on a micro sd card and backed up also in case...

Two well review ones are the Audioquest Drangonfly and Audioengine D1, D2.

The best solution is a dac headphone amp that plugs into a usb port. They start around $150.

It depends on what tasks you're going to with the laptop. If you are not going to use it for gaming you can get a 120GB ssd for around $60 and clone it and replace the HD in the laptop. It'll bring new life to it.

Dayton also makes subs'

RCA plugs carry a low level signals and expect to be amplified to power the speakers. Most subwoofers now a days have build in amps. Look on the back of the Sony receiver and see if there are RCA outputs for rear and sub.

The top receiver brands are Denon, Marantz, Harman and Onkyo.

Cole Train, Your idea is just fine if you like the Beats. A good headphone is a good headphone no matter what the sound source. Cheap headphones just mask sound defects better.
