This system: Guillemot Fortissimo + Altec Lansing ACS54 4.1's. The Fortissimo is so old that drivers for it are essentially non existant, and the 4.1's are so old that the plugs are essentially kaput. Infact, 1 of the 4 sat speakers has already died from mishandling. Hot rig, i know. ;)

In "The Box"----

Audio Out: M-Audio Delta 1010 10in/10out rackmount, with playback through a Kenwood VR-8070 reciever hooked up to four not-so-expensive KLH 4132 tower speakers and a AudioSource PSW100 subwoofer that we got for $50, haha. In case your wondering, the system is an old Comaq Proliant server with dual PIII 500mhz Xeons, with some SCSI hot swappable goodness. Overkill for a recording setup for joke bands? Probably... haha, although mastering still takes days on that box. Normally faster to shift that to a modern computer.

Audio In: Mic, to Behringer Eurorack MX2004A Mixer preamp, to a DBX Compressor, then into the Delta 1010, to the computer. For Bass, the path is Mic, to a DI box, to a PreSonus Bluetube preamp, to the DBX compressor, to Delta 1010, to computer. We normally use Cubase for recording, mainly because its what we are used to.

Incase anyone cares, haha. :D

I'm sufferin right now, I'm using a SB Live! 5.1 and a Panasonic Boombox that is older than me (I'm serious). It performs amazingly well for one that old, but still... sigh...

Game Theater XP sound card and Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 speakers. Also hooked up are a pair of B&W 302s on a NAD 7020e reciever.

They're a great bargain, I have some as well. They're not quite up to Sennheiser HD600 level, but they're very good. And very comfortable. Mine broke pretty fast though, the headband is kinda cheapish.
