The impedence will not make the speakers work or not. If you have a signal getting to the speakers, they will produce sound. Have you tried your old speakers at all of the different outputs of your reciever, and do they work? If so, maby your reciever is not putting out enough wattage to...

Makes sence. Thanks. I will probably just get the waveterminal right now, and hook it directly into my dorm setup (onkyo reciever and boston speakers). Then get another reciever and speakers next year for my dorm. Thanks for the help.

Do I really need an amp from the sound card to the reciever if the reciever has 100w rms power per channel, or will this just strengthen the signal going into the reciever. Also, I thought the waveterminal had optical outs (correct me if i am wrong), but that should give a really good signal...

Have never bought refurb. I am always worried it will be junked out. Have you tried it. I may consider it. I really like the onkyo equipment. It seems really well built. By the way, im in Bradley, and bradley BLOWS. Thanks for the link though. Ill check it out. But, for now, im out...

Yeah, if I was going to spend that much, id get klipsch bookshelfs. They sound really good to my ears whenever I demo them, and I know they are really good quality. Demod some paradigms when I was getting my ht system. They have really good specs and should be great, but my ears just dont...

haha, yeah, uw madison. Im one of the cross/track runners here. I have checked out some infinity speakers, but have not heard them. May need to go to an av store sometime and take a listen to a few.

no. We have some e series in the locker room here at uw, and they sound pretty good. Also have stood up to some major abuse :D . Also, they have the best freq responce and spl levels, with pretty low distortion. Still might go with polk r20s though. not quite sure. Still looking. How...

Alright, heres what I have decided on. I will get the waveterminal u24. I will hook this up to a Yamaha HTR-5730 Receiver. This will then be hooked up to a pair of jbl e30 speakers. May take some time to get. Any comments? Whats your speaker system?

So, can anyone compare the waveterminal u24 and the edirol ua-25? I need to know if one is really significantly better than the other before buying because this is going to put a dent in my wallet. Also, should I get an external dac to go with either of these?

I believe its just dvd write and rewriteable. Not sure cuz I dont have a dvd burner, but I am pretty sure this is right.

ouch

So, if i get a u24, I dont need an external dac, but I should get one if I get the m-audio transit? Also, I have been reading some not so good things about m-audio. Any experience? I have read that the waveterminal is good and also that the edirol products are of very good quality.

Any one else? Any that you personally have and love? By the way, thanks CSMR.

What is the best external sound card for music or dvds for a laptop? Heres a list of what looks good to me: Edirol UA-25 or UA-20 Waveterminal u24 M-audio MobilePre USB or Firewire Audiophile or USB audiophile The m-audio usb audiophile is looking best in...

So, does this swan system have an output for a powered sub that I could hook a home theater sub up to? If so, I think I could probably get a jbl e250p for about $150 and hook it up. Dont really know what my budget is. I usually just look for good deals. Alright, took a look at the swan...
