New Room sound system.

[basite]

keep & use the Luxman, if you have problems how to hook them up, ask us, or your dad

(if it's any hint, if you want to connect you pc to the luxman, or the tuner, the connections are at the bottom of the amp.)

I don't know much about the jamo's, but I haven't been really impressed with their products lately...

I'd think i'd get new speakers though, but DEFINATELY use the luxman for now, you'll at least already have stereo.

so: this is what I'd do now:

use luxman and get a pair of decent speakers
get surround receiver & use the old Jamo speakers as rears
get center & subwoofer
enjoy

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Hey Bert. First off i want to apologize deeply for not getting back to you sooner. summer jobs got extremely busy very fast; but this may be a good thing because more work tends to equal more money.

Thank you so much for your knowledge and help on this topic. i do have a few more questions to ask you though: First of all now that i will be using the Luxman whats pair of speakers do you recommend? (Brands, Models, etc.) and if i were to go looking online also, what will i be looking for in a speaker? Secondly you mentioned that i could hook my computer to the Luxman, how do i go about doing that? it seems like i can already start using my current setup as speakers instead of the cruddy Dell speakers you get from purchasing one of their computers.

Many Thanks:
Dan.

Hi, for the speakers...
are you looking for floorstanders or bookshelves? in your budget, I'd recommend looking for bookshelves, though.
how big is the room where you're going to use the speakers in? since you say you're going to use them as pc speakers, I assume you're going to place them next to your monitor...
so I'd be looking for something that's not TOO big, and still give decent, powerful sound...

you can look at Paradigm (their monitor line), the Atom monitor should fit your budget I think, or look here, for more options
http://www.audioadvisor.com/products...title&sort_by=

the Energy C-100 (or C-200 if you want) are a good option, or the PSB Alpha LR1, or the NHT absolute zero's...
or you can even build your own speakers, there are alot of speaker building kits out there, on partsexpress, for example, there are some good kits:
http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage....ctGroup_ID=769

if you want a subwoofer too later on (I think you will like one in a 5.1 system ), I'd actually suggest building one yourself from a kit, since they offer more quality & performance for the price...

and then yet another option is going used, there are tons of good used speakers out there, available for very reasonable prices...
check www.audiogon.com for that

later on you can expand, but it's best that you'll stay with the same brand (and series) for all the speakers, so voicing is right.

then, connecting the amp to the pc...

your soundcard has a 3.5 mm stereo minijack, and the amp has a left and right RCA jack, so you connect them with a minijack to stereo RCA jack cable, one like this:
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=181-591
(it's just an example, there are tons of cables like that out there, most likely available everywhere )

the luxman, and new speakers (like the Energy's, I'd actually take those I think, or the NHT's...) will be several lightyears ahead in sound quality than your dell pc speakers

Good luck, and have fun
and don't hesitate to ask questions...

Keep them spinning,
Bert.
