Sony SAW Speakers & Amp

Looks Good. I dont think that amp is 2.5kW though

It's not. It's watts per channel. You're not supposed to add them all up.

I have added to my setup, so here is the final setup:
added 3 Panasonic speakers

Um...

You'd better take that monitor off of that receiver. It'll overheat.

 

[vaio-fx]

why would the amp overheat? surely its not different than having separates on top of it.

It's passive cooling. You're blocking the vents with that monitor.

I've pushed the monitor backwards now, so about 3/4 of the vents are uncovered.

Sorry to double post, but I would like to be able to plug these speakers into my laptop. The current onboard sound isnt really good enough, I have seen Sound Blasters that insert into the PCMCIA, but my lapop has like a small version of the PCMCIA, the actual plug is like half the width. Is there a sound blaster that will work in it? I don't want usb.

Think you mean something like this...

Whats wrong with the on-board sound?

I could never tell a difference. You're better off just staying with what you have.

I just thought it may make a difference as my Desktop which has a Sound Blaster sounds better than the laptop when plugged into the speakers. Its I just need something to plug into the speakers when I take them places, for example I'm not bringing my desktop round a mates house or something. Would an Ipod work in them? Using the headphone socket on the top, or would that distort too soon?
