How is high end gear pointless on a PC? Except for a couple of transports that use I²S or an external clock, asynchronous USB is the most perfect way to get data from the source to the DAC chip due to being jitter free. As I mentioned before, the last few audio shows, plus various dealers around here are now mostly using PC as a source. In fact, many publications won't even bother reviewing CDPs soon. Using a PC as source is the way of the future, like it or not.Originally Posted by TheGovernment 
Thats my point, although those kefs are supposed to be pretty good, they are in no way hign end. When i said high end stuff is pointless on a PC, I'm talking about actual high end stuff. Anything over those kefs you posted or similar, is pointless IMO for as pc system. My airmotiv 6's were $699 and even that is getting into overkill range for the PC.

Besides, those Airmotivs are nothing special with their off axis rise from 3-4K. A simple waveguide could have fixed this. The KEFs have smooth off axis throughout their bandwidth as do the Genelec monitors you mentioned.

IIRC, you don't need to use the DAC section. You could also sell the Music Streamer and recoup some money.Originally Posted by valtopps
those golden ears look nice but there not powered. i didnt want a amp or receiver on my small deck i dont have much room with my 27'' screen and headphone set up. i like the kef's but can see spending that much sense i have a very good dac ( music stream ll + ) i know kef they do make very nice speakers. just looking to get a nice speaker set-up and i think for the money the swan m200mklll fits it nicely.
