Sub isn't finished yet, but it will probably be my Shiva powered by the Mitsubishi amp (between the turntable and Mitsu preamp/tuner). The Allied Tube amp on top of the preamp powers the NHTs. For the money invested, it sounds pretty good. "If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit" -Mitch Hedberg

I love it for looks but once getting it I noticed it's slightly lacking in the midrange - music sounds ever so slightly muffled, like you're listening to it from speakers (rather than feeling like you're actually in the room with the singer). The sub isn't low enough to thump your chest but it's definitely more than adequate for my ears. Tweaking through the Creative sound card apps help the sound a lot - with the tweaks I love the speakers. Friend of mine has a Yamaha home theater amp with 5.1 speaker set. I don't know the model, but it sounds absolutely stellar, just what I had been looking for. He uses the optical out on his G5 (can't remember if it's a separate sound card or included on the comp) to connect. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX

At this point I primarialy use: -Nakamichi AV-8 (functioning as a pre-pro) -Carver AV505 -PSB Century 500i (2x) "Bros before Hoes" <-- More men need this mentality.

The sub hits hard and the main speakers sound beautiful, even at full volume. If these ever die I will be replacing them with the exact same set.

Man, it seems like Demon's into everything I am (and more)! Except I just picked myself a 1/2" reel-to-reel 8-track recorder. Everything gets recorded onto tape, and then transferred to the computer after most of the tracks get filled, then bumped down. So much easier than straight to the computer like I was doing before. As for computer speakers, I go digital out from my Audiotrak Maya44 to a Kenwood Receiver, and then to a pair of home-made speakers. Another Kenwood Receiver from the outputs of the first drives a pair of full-tower Sonys, and my B&W 201s. Also have a home-made 12" subwoofer connected to the first receiver. I never understood computer speakers, unless you're using them to play games with. Most of the ones that people say sound good are just extremely bassy. Last edited by ottawanker; 04/27/05 06:41 AM.

They start shaking the pictures on my walls at about 1/4 volume with the sub at the same level. Totalled 99 SE Sport 03 VW Jetta GLS 1.8T APR DPP 93 Octane chip
