I use a toshiba laptop with an allen & heath xone 32, connected via gigaport ag... just wondering could i connect to two active speakers (or monitors, whichever is better) without buying an amp..
Also is musicstore.com a good site???

Answer
I have been using active speakers for years for DJ'ing - I love them!

My only caution would be to get some that are up to the job. Don't get active studio monitors if you plan to DJ for an audience. Studio monitors would work great in the home though.

If you don't have too much to spend these are great speakers:

If you have a bit more money:

What kind of cables will I need to connect my microphone to my amp?

Just using this for beatboxing.

I have a Sennheiser E845 microphone (link to it here http://www.sennheiserusa.com/vocal-stage-microphone-record-microphone-evo800_004515 )

and I am about to buy a RCF ART 310a amp (link to it here http://www.rcf.it/products/pro-speaker-systems/art-series/art-310-a )

What kind of cables will I need to connect the two? I'm guessing just an XLR cable but I want to be sure before I buy. Thanks!!

Answer
You guessed correctly. A balanced XLR to XLR is what you need. Planet waves are my favorite these days. Guitar Center's house brand, Live Wires, is good too.

Forget Monster....they're made with 50% hype than the average cable.

What to buy for home theatre/music system?

speaker system and receiver image

I am interested in buying a speaker system but not sure what. I want good, clear sound with nice bass as well. I am planning on buying the speaker system and receiver separate. I want to spend less than $1000 Any suggestions on some floor speakers, surround, and subwoofer to take care of the job? Best system for the price?

Answer
depends how many speakers do you want?
you can have from 2-9?
most go with 4
Yamaha make excelent products
make sure the amplifier you buy supports the amount of speakers you want.
I would go into a a sound store or a place like best buy and find someone who knows what thier talking about and ask them what they recommend.
most suround sound packages sound good.

sorry about the bad spelling/grammer/rambleing

Is there a remote speaker system that can be powered by a home AV receiver?

I have an Onkyo SR703 Receiver powering my home entertaiment system in my living room. I would like to have a speaker system in my backyard without running wires.

Answer
You can try these options, but a wire still rules.....

I'm really not impressed by the wireless units yet......
