I had ordered the klipsch ProMedia speakers for my desktop, but from what I have heard, if they were built since their klipsch's acquisition, they arent very good. I am now thinking about building my own stereo setup with a $300 budget. These are primarily for music, although I will also game with these.

I did have a few questions:

Would using actual speakers/receiver improve audio quality noticeably over computer speakers?

Can you you setup a sub with a 2.0 receiver?

I was thinking about something like this:

Polk T15 BLACK - $60

Polk PSW108 - $90 (PM Amazon)

Sony 200W Receiver - $100

Please let me know what you guys think. Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
