    Default After seeing the awesome systems here, this one is kinda pathetic. hehe

    I recently purchased a Klipsch promedia 2.1 system. A fellow retiree/PC gamer acquaintance sent me his promedia 4.1 system, and I replaced the subwoofers in the 4.1, and replaced the front Klipsch satellites with a set of Polk monitor 30s. It sounds incredible to me, especially for gaming. Since my sound card is not very good, and doesn't have a very good crossover, the Polks are much better sounding, because more bass is sent to them than the Klipschs could handle.

    Anyway. for the price of two replacement subs and the Polks on sale, I just love this setup. Now I need to find a good digital receiver to better control the sound, as my friend has 4 more satellites he's sending me. So I'll have TEN Klipsch satellites and the two Polks to play around with.

    EDIT: Of course, I'll certainly need a decent sub to go with that type of setup.

    The previous post is spot on; and - if you like it, it's good. Full stop. You don't have to defend, or explain, yourself to anyone.

    Here, post a photo of this over your hifi; it will make both of you feel superior :-)

    all the best,

    Trog, keep expanding man. The more you listen and fool around with a system is when you will find the one you love.

    The rig that I've had for basically the last twenty years is probably the most accurate and revealing system I've owned. It isn't the one that I had the most fun with though. Audio is a better journey taken step by step, not in one great leap. One great leap leaves little appreciation for the road traveled.

    Enjoy the changes you have already performed and between games contemplate the affordable changes you may what to try. That is where the fun is.

    I agree with everyone else. It is always fun having new things to try out, and in the end you can just sell them if you don't like them! Heck, go look at the topic of speaker hoarding and some people have 30+ speakers laying around not being used, it is all part of the fun in this

    You will quickly learn that there is always something better than what you have, and it costs a lot of $ to run with the big boys. Many times, ignorance is bliss when it comes to audio equipment!

    Absolutely. As long as your system sounds good to you for your budget, you're set!
