| Another "help me pick speakers" thread I forgot about the Vr-2 dimensions....yes, way too big. One small floorstander that I can think of (and actually owned) with incredibly good bass (38Hz) is the Monitor Audio RS6. Those are really good value speakers, with less than 10" in depth (2... | |
| Another "help me pick speakers" thread What about a pair of Von Schweikert VR-2? They are 91db, 8 Ohm, and 25Hz-25Khz. Plus, you can get a nice used pair in african hazelwood for ~$1500. They are fantastic speakers. I have the opportunity to hear them at my local audio shop about a yea... | |

| Energy RC-10 or Monitor Audio RS1 for Virtue 2 am? Thanks Bigshutterbug,I actually owned the RS6 before; an incredibly good speaker for the price. The thing is that I recently moved to a small apartment, so that's why the need for a smaller setup (on a budget). I sold my RS6's (I almost cried)and ... | |
| Looking for better sound from my Dell XPS I forgot to mention that the EMU works with ASIO plugins, which allow you to by-pass the K-mixer and get bit-perfect digital audio out of your computer. I suggest you to use Foobar or Media Monkey as media players.Luciano | |
