They're AMT ribbon hybrids. Probably $2750 by now new. Is that cheap? Follow the link and you'll see someone who rates them better than ML Aerius.

I use a M-Audio 192 sound card (coax) > Outlaw 970 > Emotiva XPA-2 > ML Preface.
sounds as good as any other PC speakers Ive heard.

You need glasses, Todd. It's nail varnish. And what's more - it isn't mine! Surprise, surprise...
BTW: actually read the M&D review. Then get some
British nail polish looks uncannily similar to American batteries. BTW, I already wear glasses, have done since the 2nd grade, except now they are tri-prescription gradients... uhg.
So was I right about the speaker stands at least?

I have a pair Focal sib satellite speakers with the cub 2 subwoofer. Providing the power is a Bel Canto S300i integrated amplifier while the Bel Canto USB Link 24/96 does the conversion from USB to BNC. While the sound is nowhere near my Summit X/Krell set up, it's not bad!

It's actually a glass tube with a steel tension rod inside. It's filled with sparkly volcanic WAF friendly rock. They're pretty, so they win

Forget it, Bernard. I completely mis-read your post.

I remember when I had used my Summits for my computer, those were the days. :music:
I think I still have a pic of them somewhere.

My current setup uses planars (of course).
I have an original unmodified set of Monsoon MM-1000 planar-magnetic speakers.
However, I also have plans :devil: :
I purchased a set of Tymphany LAT 250 Line-array bass transducers (extra points for knowing what these are, unless you're WardsWeb, he's major into DIY )
I'll be using those as the mid-bass drivers in a bi-amped setup with the Monsoon satellites.
The plan is to feed I2S clocked digital audio from an M-Audio Audiophile board into a MiniDSP box implementing crossovers (2x5) and basic EQ. From there I'll use a DIY 4x100w amp to bi-amp the Monsoon planars and the LAT bass section for everything from 80Hz on up.
For the Sub, I'll be building a custom dual-10" sub using various components from parts-express. Still haven't finalized what yet.
On top of all that, I'll run an Audyssey room correction (as a plug-in to my FooBar2000 playback setup) courtesy of ARC VST plug-in.
So, an all-digital path, DSP managed active x-over, bi-amped, Line-Array / planar with kick-a$$ sub seems about the right 'computer speaker' for a dude like me

I have a pair of Monsoons as well kicking around here somewhere. Cool little air movers. I :bowdown: to your ambition.

For the computer room, I use Logitech's Z-2300 THX Certified 2.1 setup, which sounds surprisingly goond. However, with the HTPC in the living room, I have the benefit of using all of my ML's should I choose. :music:
The HTPC is in a case that looks like a piece of audio equipment on the very bottom of the rack.
