Help for better sound.

Go to solution Solved by Dackzy,

Okay I am done making the set:

sub

front left right

center

receiver

rear

I dont know if the front speakers are a pair or single

Hi. So , as the title might suggest , i want a better listening experience . I have a logitech z906 system hooked up to my pc via optical cable(?) , and the sound is good and all , but I'd want something better . would i be able to use a different subwoofer with this system ? If yes , please give advice for a good one. If not , i m open to any other suggestions for better sound. Budget is ~1000$ , can get over slightly . Am a noob and not an audiophile . I consider seeing my phone running around on my desk because of the sub' power is awesome , so i'm looking for a heavy bass. Thanks.

you will not be able to get a better sup for the z906 since the amp and dac is located in the sub. What do you want 7.1/5.1/2.1?

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

And even if he could the amp might not be powerful enough to handle the much higher rated sub.

Romania. Some of those i couldn t even find , others where on untrusted websites. Trying to find them in my city is out of option , and using amazon or others might bring a fairly big tax

Romania is inside EU right?
