  • I have seen the light! Jammrock's newest upgrade ;)

    I broke down last night and got my first upgrade for my PC last night in...many, many moons. I have friend at Best Buy who got me a sweet deal on a set of Klipsch v.2-400's...now I can never go back.

    My old speakers (a set of Creative Desktop Theater 5.1's, the old white ones) were beginning to sound muffed and a bit distorted. Then I plugged in the Klpisch's (after 1.5 hours of rewiring the back on my computer desk). I turn on ye ol' computer and listened to the SB Live! thunder strike startup sounder. The room shook!

    Anyone looking for a nice pair of speakers definately needs to look into these!

        Although those do look nice, and while I have heard nothing but good things about them, I still prefer running my computer through my Yamaha Reciever/AMP and to my KLH bookshelf speakers. Eventually I plan on getting a pair of B&W DM302's and move the KLH's to the rear channel. I also need to get a center channel and a new woofer.

        Of course, part of the reason that I do this is because my computer doubles as my CD player. As such, I prefer to get the best sound I possibly can for when I am listening to music, which I don't think I could get from those speakers.

          I've had mine for just about a year now and the only advice I have for you is .... try to minimise your use of the volume control knob. Use the soundcard mixer to manipulate volume as much as possible. I didn't and now sometimes when I turn up or down the volume there is a staticky sound more noticeable at low volumes.
          The speaker sound great, no doubt about that, very satisfied with my purchase.
