Awesome, thanks!
Snake-Eyes said:Say you were going to build these speakers. Would it be possible/practical to have an amp for each of the 5 speakers?
What is a preamp? How is it used? How useful is it in a system?
As i'm only 16 and unemployed, how would i go about getting my hands on some equipment (without getting a job*)?
Are there any good books i could/should pick up or search the local library?
*I've applied to a bunch of places to no avail. I may try some again because of the Christmas season. Until then, i have practically zero funds.

Crysalis said:HAHAHAHA!!!!!
Me thinks someone likes their new monitors...?
Crysalis said:Yup... gots to work for your speakers. I actually come by speakers easy... alot of times they are given to me. I got a set of 4 bookshelfs (one set very good, one set rotted foam) for $50. My studio monitors were $400-500 a piece. Two surround systems (sony and onkyo)
BTW eric.... forgot to tell you. I advised my parents to get this onkyo system. I must say...WOW. It is definitely one of those GOOD onkyo systems.

You would be thoroughly impressed. I dont have the surround-back hooked up as its worthless for now, and the surround speakers aren't anything special, but the front L/R, Center, and sub are an amazing combination. Receiver is quite powerful, though lacking in the usability department.
I did some calibrations after setup and set the volume about 1/3 up and parents went running into the room yelling to turn it down as it was shakin the house. Anything that shakes walls (and accurately) is good. Although, i'm having trouble calibrating it to my parents' ears... my dad was on a sub for 4-6 years so his high end range is crap... i think he is deaf above 14-15k
