Hi, I have come here because I am new to the high-end audio scene and I'm looking for some help on building a 2.1 system in an approximately $500 budget that I can later expand to 5.1 when I have more money to allocate to my audio desires. I'm used to the garbage PC speakers that I have and the no better speakers that my friends use. Music is important to me, and my music deserves to be played through something amazing, but I'll be using these speakers for movies too.

...I highly doubt it

I spent some time listening to Legacy speakers at DUP's and at a dealer's. I was quite impressed with what I heard, alas, like anything else, nothing is perfect. I was quite impressed with the Legacy Focus, but I wanted to hear the Magnepans one more time to get a better feel of the differences between the Focus and the Magnepans 3.6R speakers.

Hi

Ive been around the forum off and on for about two years now. During this time ive been constantly searching for a system that sounds like live music and not as I call it " hifi " sounding, that is detailed and polite but with no real energy.

Hey there, how's it going? Noobie here who is movies from the Hi-Fi Headphone world to the Hi-Fi Speaker world(Kind of, still keeping some headphones). I'm hoping to gain some insight on where best to spend my money, to make a great sounding setup for my computer. My budget is $800 Max, give or take a few bucks. Here is what I've got so far:

1) Grab a Keces DA-151 USB DAC
2) Grab a Pioneer A-35R for the Amp(Need more input on this)
3) Grab either a PSB B25 or AV123 X-LS Encore(Also need more input)

Hi

Ive recently received the vinyl import of the classic Filmore East album.

Ive already got the SACD but the vinyl is something else, the dynamics are incredible. Its like the SACD is played behind a wall.

If you want a classic vinyl album this one is highly recommended.

i have finally got the chance to get a decent stero system after moving from an apartment into my own house its been about 20 years since i had a really loud system so i bought a Pioneer VSX-82TXS reciever and a set of cerwin vega VE 15 speakers it sounds okay at moderate volumes but when i try to crank it up past 70 % it sounds like crap i am not getting the strong base i expected and the tweeters give up at anything above 70 % volume i am thinking that its the recievers problem not being able to output enough power to the speakers or have i just wasted my money on these speakers?
