Chin Strap posted:So is the multiple 3.5mm jacks for surround sound something computers only do? Never seen it on consoles, tvs, or receivers. They all used to be optical and I guess HDMI is the standard now. The three 3.5mm jacks are equivalent to the 6 RCA connectors you can often find on receivers. For computers, they put two channels on each 3.5mm plug, so you get one for front L/R, one for back L/R, and one for center/subwoofer. They're analogue, so you could use rca to 3.5mm connectors (img below) to hook that speaker setup up to something with 6 RCA preouts.

I bought a pair of Micca MB42 speakers (http://www.amazon.com/Micca-MB42-Bookshelf-Speakers-Tweeter/dp/B009IUIV4A) and an SMSL SA-36A Pro amp (http://www.amazon.com/SMSL-SA-36A-TPA3118D2-Digital-Amplifier/dp/B00L7DC7IM/) to replace my audio system for my desk. Is this a good plan or should I have bought a set of monitors instead?

taqueso posted:The MB42X is the same speaker, but with a crossover. If you can, you should get those instead. Looks like Amazon doesn't have them right now, though. I'd thought about that and read some of the MB42x reviews that compare it to the MB42, but decided to just go ahead and buy the 42s because it wasn't clear how long the 42x was going to stay out of stock. I realize the crossover helps a lot, but hopefully the MB42s will be good enough for me.

In this vein, if you hear distortion you should try to listen to each of the tweeters and woofers on your speakers by placing your head near them to see whether it's a speaker problem or further upstream.
