This thread and OCN most recommended cause me to upgrade to a 2.1 setup with room for expansion.

I love the sound for music, the clarity of everything while gaming, and the bass during explosions and shots is beautiful.

However its also a problem. At loud settings the bass causes my mouse to move causing horrible aiming in FPS (no a problem in mmo's and other games). I end up turning the bass off and just playing with the speakers.

Can this be a cause of bad bass placement or is it just the nature of the beast. What have you guys done to resolve this or do I need to change some settings.

Mouse sensitivity is probably too high. Music volume is probably too loud. Also, if your subwoofer is under, or next to, your desk... Make sure it's not actually touching the desk.The thickness and weight of your desk might affect it too. I used to have a slightly wobbly desk, and with a crappy logitech sub woofer the mouse would move sometimes. Now with my thicker desk, (and even more powerful subwoofer) my mouse doesn't move when the volume is up loud.

Oh wow, my plans have changed, AGAIN. What a surprise. It's annoying actually. But it's not so bad.

So, long story short.
I've been looking for an apartment for a while and in the mean time I have stayed at my mom's. And all my stuff has been stored.
Well now we have decided that I'd actually move here for at least till next fall since I haven't been able to find an apartment and I got my military service coming up next January so finding my own apartment is kinda pointless, she has room and so on so why not.

Well, I gotta buy myself some stuff from Ikea since it's on our route. New bed (the spare bed she has is like 8yrs old and really just horrible), new table top and legs so I can has mah compuutar somewhere and a proper chair to go along with it. I'll get some speaker stands as well from Hifikulma since I want to use my Wharfedale's and Audio Pro sub instead of those early 90's horrid floorstanders, I got my eyes set on the Atacama Nexus 6i's, any of you have experience with those?

So if you bothered to read all that, I faced a problem.
How the heck am I gonna have my HTPC, my main rig and tv all connected easily?
The Lepai I have only has one input and a rca switch would be okay but onboard sound is a no go,I could get new sound cards but still the switch is a bit awkward and well rca is still vulnerable to interference.
So how reluctant it is to me I'll return back to the world of A/V receivers.
I already decided that Marantz NR1602 shipped from Germany for 415€ would be my best bet.
I can have both my rigs connected with HDMI and audio from TV will go through optical since it's an older model and doesn't have HDMI 1.4.
The Marantz has DLNA and internet radio and audio from USB thumb drive support AND(!!) I can control it through my Android phone so yeah, pure win.
Won't need to have neither of my rigs turned on if I want to listen to some music (lower ambient temp)

But I can't buy it until next month since most of my budget will go to the stuff from Ikea and the stands and even though I live with my parent I still do have bills to pay lol.

I'll probably set up the Wharfe's and Lepai only with my HTPC for the time being and when I get the receiver I can setup all those with ease.

P.S. She'll be mad at me: "What?! I have to learn to use ANOTHER REMOTE??"
Little does she know that I plan to get a Harmony One remote in the future, October maybe.
I can already imagine her face when she gets to use it. The simpler the better amirite?

Do you need to post pics to join?... If not I have a JVC RX-817V powering a set of JVC bookshelves on my desk (SP-C33BK's) and i have two large towers behind me Acoustic Profile (PSL 88.6's) They're an old Vancouver company that died out in 2000 ish ... made some pretty good speakers though... I have a Velodyne DPS-12 Sub, that i used to have hooked up with my Harman/Kardon AVR 135 but i swapped it with the JVC ... I think these meet the standards? I'll post pics if needed. I''m hoping to upgrade to some Cerwin Vega XLS 215's or something like that in the next couple of years...

No one is even updating the member list.. Last edit was last year..
I have been asking about that for a long time but no one bothers to respond. Crappy club if you ask me, but a wonderful thread though.

the list doesn't matter...it's just a nice thread to talk about speakers and stuff

Hmm well that sucks :S Guess I won't be joining...

Lol I never even look at the first page, I think only one pair of mine is on there. I couldn't care less . Just subscribe and we'll consider you part of the club .

Exactly.
