ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe board with on-board audio
Beyond that, I don't know much about the capabilities
of that on-board audio, such as how many watts will
it comfortably support for speakers, etc.
(480W PSU)
Not looking for anything exotic, no "home theater"
or anything - just some decent plain stereo speakers
for a reasonable price - maybe in the range of $50
to $75 - if there ARE any "decent" speakers in that
price range (!) - mostly just for decent audio when
watching movie DVDs and music programs on TV,
and maybe an occasional music CD.
I'm basically aware of speaker frequency ranges
etc, but - - . I know there's good and there's junk
to be had.
And I'm not in a situation to be able to go listen
to any - will have to order online.
I'm on a job in a small town in Montana - need
I say more?
Thanks!!
(EDIT)
Been poking around CNET & other review places
Probly a silly question - I've got a pair of "decent"
6" round 2 way midrange auto speakers - would
they work just to get going, or are the volts or
whatever wrong - or does it matter? Is a speaker
a speaker as far as hooking it up to something?
I've got 2 sets of pretty good quality speakers
at home that one normally would hook up to
an amplifier, would those general type of
speakers work (volts etc?), and at what point would I
need to run the signal from the board thru
an amplifier? Don't want to overdraw the board.
Still at the bottom of the learning curve here
Thanks!
