Yeah, E7 or E17. I only mentioned the E7 because it was a bit cheaper and still good quality. E17 is a slightly improved version of the E7 with a few cosmetic differences.

But yeah, if you get the A2 set and a subwoofer, you'll be surprised at how amazing the sound quality is with the E7/E17. I had to listen to my music again (all of it) as it sounded better. But you'll have to experience it for yourself smile.gif

Two 3.5mm splitters. Yes, it's not the prettiest thing out there, the BX5 have built in amps. So that means you can't use the subwoofer as a low pass filter. The speakers will play full range.

What's your budget for all of this?

Hey! I found some money hided, now I can afford the SBX 10 (Just to avoid the adapters, you will see at the note at the end why I didn't get a SVS or HSU)!! So now what I am getting is: BX5 D2 + BX10 + E17 + E9K. Do you think I can do better?? My gut tells me that the E9 + E17 is kinda a waste of money, but I have a feeling that the E9 drives more power/sound and that a DAC (E17 docked in) will sound better.... So please enlighten a 'noob'. Thanks! biggrin.gif

THE NOTE! PLEASE READ: Everything I get is from Amazon (I am living in the middle east) So everything has to be eligible for 'FREE SUPER SAVING SHIPPING" D:, thanks anyways!
