Last night I got the chance to cut and terminate my speaker wire cables after work. Got it right my first time trying! So I connected the speakers, threw on a CD in my shatty Sony CD deck (which will be destroyed Office Space style soon as this setup is connected to my computer), and WOW!
1. I wasn't expecting much bass out of these since they're not connected to a sub, but dang, there's some real bass to these babies! Of course I'm still gonna buy the Dayton 100w sub and leave bass in the hands of a subwoofer.
2. The sound quality is better than my X-530's in comparison (when the X-530's sound is not software-equalized). Of course, I expect the sound quality to shoot up when I connect my setup to the Audigy 2 since the CD deck is a POS. Though I'm diggin' some Pink Floyd on the tuner, and jeez, for an analog signal, that sounds great (minus the background noise, but it's radio, so thats to be expected)!
So for now they're chillin' on my bookcase until I can afford the Dayton sub, which is when I'll also snag the proper cable and some more speaker wire and pins. All in all, this is one of the best purchases I've made, and it'll only lead to more and more spending.
Big thanks to Pinipig, Godsmadclown, and of course, the infamous Mister X, for all your guys's help.
