Reddit mentions of Replacement 60W 12V 5A Adapter Charger for Benq LCD Monitors

Hey so I hate to shit in on everyone else's opinions, but they're not really recommending the best gear for your dollar. /r/audiophile has a sticky on this exact subject. Basically the lowest end system they are willing to recommend is a pair of Micca MB42s . If you can spring for the 42x's, they are more than worth the 10 extra dollars. You will need an amplifier to drive them. /r/audiophile reccomends the Muse m50, but I can tell you from personal experience, a lepai 2020a+ with a slightly beefier power supply will run them just fine for half the price. These are pretty chunky speakers, but they'll blow any "pc/gaming" speakers out of the water. If you decide you'd like to go for this, I have about 30 feet of speaker wire lying around that I'd be happy to mail to you to save you the 8 bucks or so. Hope this helps, and happy listening!

You're a jackass. Here is a real link to the shitty power supply.

Happy?

Usually people do recommend getting a more powerful power supply (~ 5A) instead of the default 2A one that comes with the Lepai amp. You could try getting it replaced and see if that fixes the problem, though.

Make sure you get the upgraded power supply or it can damage your speakers from popping.

For 250 my recommendation would be a pair of Philharmonic Affordable Accuracy Monitors paired with a suitable amplifier. They're easily the best speakers I've used. Great imaging, very clear and detailed, and amazing bass for a 2.0 setup.

I got along with a basic Lepai amplifier with an upgraded power supply which did better than I expected to. Otherwise you could probably get away with an SMSL-SA36 if you're not blasting them.

For the money though, I bet you could find a used receiver for a great deal off your local craigslist.

I currently run them with an SMSL SA-160 which does an amazing job of driving them but would push you out of your budget.

Alternatively, I've also used the Micca MB42Xs paired with the same Lepai as above and it's a fantastic budget-oriented setup which doesn't take up too much space.

This is the one I bought, works perfectly: http://amzn.com/B003Z6ZR5O

This is the power brick, though you could buy any number of other ones like that one.

This setup (MB42x and Lepai Amp) doesn't really shine until you turn it up pretty loud. I wouldn't discourage you from getting it, but it was only marginally better than my old Logitech z-640 setup at low volumes. At higher volumes it's way, way better.

It is just an alternate powersupply that has more amperage. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z6ZR5O/

the MB42x - Lepai 2020A+ combo is a good cheap solution. I recommend that you upgrade the power supply on the Lepai though.

This one works great. I use it on my 2020+ and the sound is definitely improved in the low end.

Also, the 2020+ has and RCA input which should work with most TVs. This would give you considerably better sound than any "in box" 2.1 setups.

In terms of a subwoofer, the Miccas already go pretty low so you might not need a sub at first depending on preference. Also, avoid the aux input on the Lepai... it's a little shoddy.

I believe that's only at higher volumes, and it's fixed by replacing the power source/cord. I use this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z6ZR5O/

Oh, i got the mb42, great speakers, saw they are now 60 bucks, but were 50 bucks a few months ago, so either they've gone up or typical amazon price fluctuating. Not sure it's worth getting the x version, the regular ones sound great at that size and price point - they have a crossover but not sure it's going to make huge difference in that package.

I got this amp: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049P6OTI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
lp2020A+

I needed a power supply for an external drive and that one worked so I stepped up to this for the amp to squeeze out most of the watts in the amp: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z6ZR5O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When I got it they were: 50 speakers, 20 amp, 6.50 power supply and it makes a very nice budget system - loud enough for a normal sized room and good quality.

This is the one that I used (i think): http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-adapter-charger-Benq-Monitors/dp/B003Z6ZR5O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1400337656&sr=8-3&keywords=12v+5a I think they come with the barrel plug but need the 12 volt supply

Alright. I am so sorry that I'm being annoying..

how do these

SONY SS-B1000

compare to these

Dayton B652 $42.50

Micca MB42 $59.95

Micca MB42x $79.95

What is the best bang for your buck?

Could you put the speakers in Best to Worst?

I plan on gettin the Lepai 2020A+ unless there is a better amp for the price and then adding a Power Supply Upgrade
