Asus Xonar DX and good 5.1 Speakers set.

Thanks for the info but I already bought speakers and I am happy with it.

Monoprice made tweaks to this Speaker setup and according to Cnet sounds better than the Energy Take Classics: http://reviews.cnet.com/surround-speaker-systems/monoprice-10565/4505-7868_7-35826981.html

It was also on sale for $228.71 a few weeks ago which adding in Speaker wire, Banana plugs & wall mounts with shipping would be around: $285 depending on your area. So maybe around $305 without the sale price but Monoprice does usually offer coupons too.

So you may be able to get some % off. Like use SURVEY13 to get $5 till the 11th.

Just curious where and how much of a deal did you snag on those? They look pretty awesome but online retail shops seem sparse on carrying them.

$165, the satellites look like audiophile bookshelves lol. This Dolby TrueHD channel test sample comes out pretty nice:

Just updating: I got Fiio E10 and Audio Technica M50. Sold my speakers. DX will be on sale soon.

Ahhhh. You've seen the light!
You got real music now!

 

[rockfella79]

Yes indeed! Sold my Edifiers, keeping the DX, might buy Swans M50 in the future, until then M50s rock!

Bought these:

They sound very good. I am not using them as they are intended to be used (as desktop multimedia speakers) so I am missing a bit of quality listening to them from a distance.
