look cool. I hope to see them at TAVES 2014.

Schiit has a USB stick coming out and it only cost $79!

R00kie · Oct 11, 2014

Works great.

Kursah · Oct 11, 2014

I gotta get in on sharing images. Mine isn't the prettiest...and the newer Dayton 10" powered sub is a better beast...I love my setup. Easy to tune, enjoy and in my basement I can CRANK it! When she's not sleeping that is... lol!

Auzen X-Fi Forte 7.1

+

Denon AVR-1613

+

Pioneer SB-BS21LR

+

Dayton SUB100

=

And then I have several headphones to choose from...but usually end up wearing my Grizzly Buds earbuds (because if it's time to put headphones on...it's time to turn the volume down...

).

I own Denon D2000's, HiFiMan HE-400, JVC HA-DX3, Sony XB-500, JVC HARX700. Of those I prefer the HE-400's usually..but being totally open...they aren't the best in a house full of kids, dogs, etc...so they don't get used much. Shame.

But the Grizzly Buds rock my socks off with their bass response, and overall clarity. Much better than the first gen Iron Buds. I'm sure there's better...but for $35 I am in sock and awe!

And my speaker system is just awesome...I almost upgraded to larger Pioneer towers this last summer...but decided against it. These fill my whole basement with sound and it's truly amazing. They don't have the most bass...but pack a pretty heavy punch to about 40hz... the sub is used to pick up the low low-end...and is on lower volume...when I crank it up...everything shakes and rattles. I can only imagine a higher quality sub or newer Dayton sub is epic! My poor sub is going on 3-4 years old now. Been a champ.

Seems like age doesn't really effect speakers and whatnot.

the voice coil, diaphragm, surrounds, damping material, capacitors, etc. deteriorate over time. capacitors in crossovers have a shelf life and need to be replaced (values can change).

strange then that my speakers haven't deteriorated they sound just as good today as they did when I first bought them maybe it's because I don't thrash the bejeebers out of them and they don't sit in the sun so look as good as knew about every six months or so I clean the dust out of them aswell with a soft cloth and paint brush

micropage7 · Oct 13, 2014

just avoid damp area, too hot or too cold, use normal volume and clean the dust.it would make your sound system last longer

SaltyFish · Oct 13, 2014

DAC: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro -> Amp: iFi iCan Micro -> Headphones: Sony MDR-MA900

A simple but still fancy setup. Don't really have the space for a fancy speaker system where I live. And even if I did, laziness would likely get in the way.

Vario · Oct 18, 2014

Got the larger Infinity's today for $15.

Lexicon DC1 pre-pro
Behringer EP1500 power amp (2x700 watt!)
2xInfinity SL30
2xInfinity RS2000

Have a bunch of other speakers/amps etc that are not hooked up to the main system.

Steve-007UK · Oct 19, 2014

I need to rewire my setup as the amp gets very warm and at loud volume it will cut out due to over heating.

I have my wharfedale speakers bi-ampd so i might just go back to using a single channel and take some load of the amp.

As much as like my denon amp i personly think it has a piss poor cooling design and i am considering modding it with a few internal fans. You only have to turn this thing on and leave it 5 mins doing nothing and it gets stupidly warm for no reason.

And a whole bunch of in ear Seinheiser, and Klispch in ear headphones for my phone and tablet

Toothless · Oct 20, 2014

A moment of silence as of my two speakers, one has left us into speaker heaven. Though if I tweak the cord enough or put more speakers on the same output it'll work. It does let out a buzzing noise so if it's not dead or zombied. It'll about to.

Sorry for the blur; my phone hates being nice and sharp.

Toothless · Oct 25, 2014

So I need a bit of advice. I gotta get me new desktop speakers but I have no clue on what to get.

I love my loud, bass-type metal/rock music. I have a pretty good sub, just not speakers.

JunkBear · Oct 28, 2014

If you can put your hands on vintage Sparkomatic speakers they are from 70 80 and play a clear sound for metal fans. Cobalt Strontium magnets like they dont do anymore.

How are you going to power the speakers? Do you use a receiver? Do you prefer powered speakers? Read through this thread, and others in this section, a lot of good information to be had. :toast:

All I have is 3.5mm jacks and USB/outlets for power. No preference and lacking a receiver.
