Possible Desktop Speakers?
Lowrider57 - thanks for the info!donjr - don't worry I will defiantly go to a hifi shop. I am doing some ground work to know what to ask for. Otherwise I might hear something buy it and it just doesn't work well with my room or as the beginning of...

Its an l shaped desk with a wall behind me and to my right. The part where I sit is facing towards the room with nothing in front of it. The tv is too my left. So I face the family when they are watching.

So... after a bunch of research I am really thinking the Anthony Gallo strada speakers might be the way to go. I know Al may give me noogies for asking(given the price difference). Would these work well with the audio research ref 150 amp and audi...

I like the harbeth and ancient audio stuff looks cool. I have some sennheiser hd700s. Problem with headphones is they give me a headache really quick.

Yyzsantabarbara - You make a good point I did read somewhere that they used it at a show that's why I picked that specific amp. Though that may have been just for the show and maybe it isn't for everyday listening? I really wish Magnepan could wei...

Almarg thanks for the detailed response I can certainly look at other speakers I just figured mini maggies were the best pc speaker set up(though again I am a noob). Hrmmm their are just so many things to consider that it gets overwhelming.Schuber...
