Hey, where did u order them from? Price?

Thanks

How do you like the Swan's M10. Looking to get rid of logitech cheap 5.1 and replace with a 2.1 system.

How come you wanna sell your Z-5500 for the Swans? Currently I got the Z-5500 as well and I love it, how is the experience with the M10?
I just ordered them, the reason I'm downsizing is because I'm not using my Z-5500 to the full extent. To be honest, I'm barely using my Z-5500. And I tend to move around quite a bit, so with that, its becoming a hassle to constantly pack them and unpack them over and over, especially since my room is small and I don't even blare them. I use my MBP speakers more than the Z-5500's.

I was hoping I could find someone who would make better use but after having them on CL for about a month still not getting any bites.

Not sure when the M10's will be here - I'm aware of the low specs but once again, I listen at a moderate sound. Also, the subwoofer is a massive overkill. I know you can turn it down, but ever since getting into Asian pop and trying to listen to metalcore, its extremely boomy since it seems to be more of a theater 5.1 setup than what I use it for. It sort of the same reason I sold my Alpine Car Sub, its pointless to have if I'm only going to have it at 1/5th of the power.

It's hard to setup a 5.1 in my room anyways, last time I took a photo with the speakers all on my desk I got my head chewed off by the audiophiles.

You'll love the M10s. That is almost the exact reason I went with them--no room for 5.1, and my computer room isn't square. Plus they are nice and tiny 2-ways with a small vented sub.

I wanted to try the M20W but they don't even sell those anywhere.

Got a lamp and some wall art from Ikea to accompany a small Galant desk I just received today. If those are just red trees or gory blood, I have no idea. It looks good with the setup I think :)
I do hope you guys think these are in fact trees though lol.

Found the actual picture on Ikea's site - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00197105

^ Very nice wall art, it brightens up the room quite a bit.

Got this iPod on ebay, needed something small to listen to while in transit to and from uni.

I would have to agree with you a year or so ago, but not anymore, there plans are competitive and there coverage and speed second to none.

My work phone (iP4) recently switched from Optus to Telstra. World of difference.
Somewhat considering moving over for my next phone. But probably wont, Virgin have amazing plans, though unfortunately backbone onto Optus' network.

M Audio AV40s. It was between these, and the Soundstick IIIs. I dont really care too much for deep bass, since I live in an apartment building, I just wanted better sound than my generic 2.1 Logitech system. I hope I made the right choice.

Where'd you pick up the GoFlex? I've got a WD Elements that's crapping out on me, and I need a large drive to migrate stuff over to before sending it back to WD.

Did you get it with the FW800 adapter, too?

I had an apple gift card so I ordered it through apple, but if you go on seagate's website, they have a price comparison page where you can find the cheapest price for the hard drive. It comes with a USB 2.0 and Firewire 800 adapter. You can also buy a USB 3.0 adapter or eSata adapter. They also sell a 750GB version.
