BTW - I haven't ruled out the other ones you recommended earlier Reks.. I wasn't trying to just ignore them Just looking around still.

What about the Kef Q1s you have?

Not quite in the budget

Video games is serious! I get carried away on this topic too often

Update: I got the amp in today and it is in great condition. I haven't gotten to do serious listening but it definitely has some power from the headphone output. It drives my Sextetts without a problem where my CK2III even had trouble. I'll compare the two based on SQ later. Also, I didn't think about this pro but using this amp allows me to plug all of my sources in and switch via remote / buttons. That's definitely something I was wanting to accomplish. I've decided to keep the amp for multiple reasons so all that's left is for me to decide on speakers. If there's anything that would perform as well as those Wharfedale's (I'm okay best guesses since I don't think anyone has heard these speakers) then let me know.

I know.. posting in favor of the XBOX 360 is definitely a lame move on my part.. sorry you took it so hard.

DUDE BRO..I know it's your thing to bash 90% of the newcomers on this forum but it's fucking annoying...Is your security absolutely rocked when you see a new member's name on the right side of your screen? I've never interacted with either of you on here or IRC.. sucks that you're a so much touchier than most people I talk to from here. Sorry for the threadjack n_maher... I'm done.

If only I had been a PS3 kid... who knows where I might have gone on this forum. Instead, people I've never talked to are telling me how annoying I am. :'(

Sorry for being annoying. Disregard my posts and buy a PS3.

I KNO RITE?

SC4 is not a PS3 exclusive and with the way most other PS3 exclusive series are jumping ship, I wouldn't be surprised to see other big games becoming multiplatform.

I still would not get a PS3 at this point. The PS3 exclusive titles aren't anywhere close to enough to make me get it over an XBOX 360 (or a Wii for that matter). Also, 360 has a media center function as well (I don't use it). Oh yeah.. Microsoft is already working on an external blue ray player for the 360 to be released as early as this summer so I wouldn't base the purchase on bluray capabilities. I ramble.. but I would definitely get a 360 over a PS3 right now unless you absolutely want a bluray player this instant. I mean... HALF LIFE RIGHT?

Okay, it seems like it would be a good idea to just keep them amp. Now.. it's which speakers to get. I'm going back to Tulsa in a couple of weeks so I could still get the Wharfedale Modus 8 (??) speakers for ~$100. Or, I could get different speakers.. hopefully something smallish. Same budget. Anything worth my time?

Yeah... I just don't know how well it would work out in the near future. Right now, it would be fine... in a couple months, I have no idea. Would bookshelf speakers be the least sensitive to placement and room size?

From my readings, my 320BEE is a new integrated amp based on the 3020. The 320BEE is still in production and the 3020 is vintage, right?

Thanks for the pro tip.. after some looking, this doesn't even have a phono stage Not a big deal though.

The NAD 320BEE is in great shape from the pictures and the seller gave it a 9/10. It should be at my house waiting for me by now so I'll check when I get home. I kind of like the idea of keeping the NAD just so that I can sell my phono pre and consolidate. The reason I'm leaning away from the Wharfedales is just because of the size of them. I could probably make it work though.

My original plan for intro speakers was to just get active ones like the Audioengine A5s. However, I got a good deal on some floorstanding Wharfedales from someone about an hour away and jumped on it. Sadly, when I went to pick them up, he wasn't there to give them to me. Communication error on my part most likely Now that I look at my situation I'm thinking bookshelf speakers are the way to go anyways so... I'm out gas money but that's not a big deal. The question I have now is which route to take...Should I use the integrated amp I have (NAD 320BEE) and get some <$200 bookshelf speakers or go with something like the Audioengine A5s. Thanks in advance.

I went and previewed that on Amazon just because of the cool album art. I liked it.. I think I'll buy that soon. Thanks for the tip.

Here are my second and third DIY attempts. The first cable is the same as this 2nd RCA cable but with a different y-split. This 2nd RCA cable uses the extra stress relievers that came with the RCA plugs to cover the Y-split. Just an extension cable

discussion is futile.

You're right that's boring... FIGHT

Man.. I understand that his posts irritate some people but he's just sad he's not getting to see a band that he loves. I'm not saying he should have posted it here, but this got blown up big time... Chill...

I've never seen an episode of Lost. I always kick myself ~5 seasons down the road of a supposedly great show for not watching it from the start and then being too lazy to catch up.
