building a budget system

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.

The saga continues

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.

Having visited China and witnessed the building boom firsthand, I must admit that I suspected corners were being cut in construction—so I wasn't surprised by how many buildings came down. Considering all the construction accidents happening in NYC this year, who am I to look askance at China?

Looking to build a budget audiophile system...

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)
