Re: New speaker choices...
Do you want 5.1 again, or would an awesome 2 channel setup work for you?
Re: New speaker choices...
Devilsound Dac $279
T-Amp $69
Unity Audio Clearwater Bookshelfs $299
-----------------------------------------------
Total: $650ish
This setup will give you amazing quality hifi, with imaging and clarity beyond belief.
If you want 5.1, I'm working on a solution for that too. :)
Re: New speaker choices...
Oh yeah, 5.1 definately, I game and sometimes watch movies with this rig.
Re: New speaker choices...
For $800 I will build you a companion cube subwoofer and speakers.

Re: New speaker choices...
Browsing around and looking at the choices for a HTIB, I noticed a few seemingly good deals. For example this Onkyo

Wattage is in the range that I want, seems to have better frequency, THD, and whatnot than my Klipsch, and has the advantage of being component so I can upgrade/replace pieces easily.
Its also well under half my budget, leaving plenty of room for a good sound card with optical out. Its not a audiophile system, but after some consideration of finances I think it would be better to skimp some on my computer setup and put the extra towards college loans...or a 50" TV.
Unless there's a better suggestion I might go with this one. Has anyone dealt with this website dealer before? I still also need to shop around for a sound card.
Re: New speaker choices...
I've never dealt with them, nor heard of them, so I cant answer. :)

Considering this sound card:

Call me a noob, but SPDIF optical connections are all the same right? The Onkyo says it has 2 optical inputs but doesn't say "SPDIF".
