Hey guys, I need some advice:

I'm looking on getting stands for my BIC DV62Si's to get them off my desk, but have no clue what to get. Style doesn't matter much, if it was about 3'6, the stand would be perfect. The problem is, I don't know what to buy because I don't understand how they would attach to the speaker.Do they screw in? I don't see any places to put it if so. This confuses me... Any advice?

I'd have to say BIC F12 or Definitive Technology Pro Sub 60 (my pick but ~$30 over budget at $229). The DefTech can often be found on Electronics Expo's site for $169 open box (once a month or so) and at that price its the clear winner (IMHO).

Oh well, just got this setup finished, or i'm in need of some spikes for the speakers and of course a nice vinyl player for my little collection. :3
The difference from my KRK Rokit RP-5 is, well, the RP-5 i guess sounds neutral and these are more "nice" or what i should call it, but i sure love listening to these.

Rocking Behringer B2031P's, they sound pretty nice to me, considering the price.

Okay Corsair SP2200's crackle and fail when it comes to loud good music. I need to replace them. I sit about 1 foot away from my speakers and my desk is small so they can't be huge. Any tips?

What bitrate is the music? Are you using any EQ settings to boost certain frequencies such as bass? My bet is on distortion caused by over-EQing or clipping from a low bitrate source.

Hey Guys, I come with a question.

I am a little bit poor lately (or at least, I am wanting to save my money) but I want a bassier system.
I have an Onkyo CR-325UKD (and due to my budget, this is irreplaceable)
and two Eltax Monitor 3's (150W each.. apparently.)

I am in serious need of some bass.. I only have £120 to spend, I can stretch to a Cambridge Audio S80, but is it worth me getting that over getting, say, a second-hand pair of Floorstanders?
