Let me tell you right now that if you&#8217;re listening to music from your PC using anything but professional grade digital studio monitors you simply do not know what you&#8217;re missing.  And you can own them for less than the cost of some &#8220;gaming&#8221; surround sound PC speaker systems from Altec Lansing and Bose.<\/p>\n<p>This all started because I needed a set of speakers for my PC since I have none.  I&#8217;ve always used a stereo receiver and speakers.  I began by looking at regular 3 piece PC speaker sets but was not happy that all of them were &#8220;PC silver.&#8221;  My motivation for monitors became dual pupose &#8211; sound and appearance.  When I walked into Sam Ash and they offered a discount on the last pair of DM-10&#8217;s in stock, I took &#8217;em.  I know it was weak and impulsive but these things sound incredible.  If I feel bad about spending the money so close to Christmas all I have to do is turn them on and listen to Octane or The Coffee House on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sirius.com\">Sirius<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy&#8217;s going to be mad &#8211; I found a &#8220;deal.&#8221; No, really.
