Ok, so ive been reading all the applicable posts from this forum and some others and i just wanted your oppinion on this gear. I'm still a little confused so i just want to make sure i get it correct :P

I've mainly been looking at the gear you guys mentioned thats available from Richersounds as there is one near me in Notts.

Now this setup will be mainly for music, tv and gaming. I just need a nice capable sound system, nothing spectacular. I play a lot of WoW n some CS:S but i tend to use headphones for them anyway, so the system will be prodominantly for music.

So sound card i can order from where and ive heard a lot of good things about 'M-Audio 2496' i think it is. No idea if its suitable, but that is why i posted :)

For the amp, everyone seems to talk a lot about the A5 (http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=CAMB-A5-SIL) , so ive chosen that as well : though from what i gather it lacks a headphone jack or something so i need a converter right?

For Speakers i just want a couple of bookshelf speakers to wall mount behind my desk as i lack the room for floorstanding ones. So im thinking these Mordaunt Short 302 AVANT (http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=MORD-302-AVANT-MAP) should be fine for that, though they do seem a little small. Is that an issue, or is there something else i should be looking at?

Cabling etc i was just gonna ask someone at Richersounds, so im not to worried about that, so any advice or anything you can give me on my choices would be great.

Oh and by the way, in reguards to budget, i havent really got one, not looking to spend more than about £250-£300 though as im looking to pickup a sub to add to the system at a later date.

Thanks for the help in advice, please get posting :)
 
Ok : so i bought the Mordaunt Short 902i's and the A5 amp, set it up with a nice X-Fi, n it all works good :) Just burning it in atm :(


Anyway, wanted to post to thank you for your help but also just to say : I went to Richer Sounds to get all the stuff (cept the card obv) and that place is fantastic. If ever hear anyone compare that place to something like Dixons or PC World, im gonna drive to their house and slap them. Instead of Saturday staff who could pick one cable from another, there was only knowlegable, helpful staff, that place is magical! Definately going again for anymore electrical goods they sell if/when i need!
