Just pulled the trigger on todays woot! Which is a pair of refurbed AV-40s for like $95 shipped. Too good to pass up. These will replace some meh Sony 2.1 speakers.
I know these things are much larger compared to typical computer speakers so I was wondering how others have set theirs up? I have a decent sized L-shaped desk but between all my crap and a dual monitor setup, Id like to conserve as much as space as possible without sacrificing optimal speaker placement too much.
I was even thinking of mounting some monitor brackets just above my dual monitors.
Also wondering if I should pull the trigger on a sound card to make the most of the AV-40s? Im currently running off of onboard sound from an EVGA X58 SLI LE mobo. But then again, although I do a lot of video editing with audio mixing, Im by no means an audiophile and all this editing I do is for home videos and such.
