Hi guys!
Been reading these forums a lot recently, trying to educate myself beyond review material. Today I thought I'd actually post as I have an issue.
Recently I bought a new PC for my bedroom and figuring that it'd be used for TV/Movies/Video games and music [Including some very amateur production], my initial thoughts went to a multimedia style 5.1 so I bought some Logitech z906's. Now whilst they're not terrible at what they do, I just have a lot less use for them than what I first thought. 95%+ of what goes through them is music so I'm thinking of selling them for a pair of stereo speakers. I currently have a Creative Soundblaster Zx sound card (and also an M-audio 1010lt with a small 16 channel Behringer mixing desk but I'm not sure they'd come in to play here give the Soundblaster).
My question is which path to choose, should I look at a pair of actives/monitors (Saw the M-Audio BX8 D2's) or an entirely new separates system that I can just plug my PC in to? My budget won't be great for the next month or 2, only around 350. Would a DAC be a good idea considering my sound card? I'm at a loss for direction really. My room is of fairly small size, maybe 4m x 5m with plenty of dampening (Carpet, bed etc.)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
