Wharfedale Diamond 9.1's have the best bass of any bookshelf I've ever heard. It's ridiculous how good and tight the low end is on those speakers considering they use a 5.25 inch midbass driver. I haven't heard the 9.2's but they have...

How many speakers are you looking for? Just 2 I assume? If you're limited to $1K, that sort of narrows it down. If you're looking at bookshelves, I would look at the Salk CAOW1's or MBOW1's. They're in that price range and if they're...

For the money, you really can't beat: Monitor Audio RS6's. They've got a very small footprint and great extension at both ends of the frequency. For the size and for around $1000 for the pair, they're a phenomenal investment. Salk...

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and I have the same problem. After some searching, I found out that Dell's dirty little secret with the HDMI jack on this computer is that it's designed to give you video but NOT audio. Even though you can...

I have a pair of Diamond 9.1's and they're an absolute steal for $240 a pair shipped. VERY capable speaker. If the 9.0's are anything like them, $100 a pair is a phenomenal deal.

I don't know much about wireless but www.headphone.com is a great place to shop around for cans of all types. They're very informative and their prices aren't too shabby, either.

I'm a proud owner of a pair of RS6's in black. I've loved these towers from Day 1 and I've had nothing but good things to say about them all around. But I think I may have stumbled upon the perfect pairing... I recently purchased a...

I recommend Wharfedale Diamond 9.1's or 9.2's. I have a pair of 9.1's and they're phenomenal from top to bottom, IMO. They're the biggest-sounding little speaker I've ever heard. They've got a running record of 4 months in my bedroom...

Pearl Jam - Binaural - Of The Girl (entire CD has a phenomenal sound, IMO, but this song is a gem among gems) Primus - Tales from The Punchbowl - Over The Electric Grapevine (the louder you play it, the better it sounds) The Black...

Hey mizzer. Definitely bad things going on in that setup. But no matter how bad it is, I would NOT go the sound bar route. IMO, the best 3.1 (or 3.0) setup beats the crap out of even the most high-end sound bar. If you want surround...
