Been looking at this one, might be a bit much, hmm decisions decisions .


I have a decent stereo system in the house but I play in the "Man cave" which is not in the house and computer speakers are terrible


75w will be nice and loud. The Fender G-Dec is also a hot item these days. Lots of "Pro" endorsements, etc.

As far as improving sound in Manland, it can get pretty expensive getting good sound from a PC. [Edit: Really good PC speakers or monitors run big bucks. As an inexpensive option...] I run my PC card's Line Out into a stereo amp.

It took me a while to find an amp that is non-X.1 (just stereo - because that's how music is recorded, but that restriction is optional). I hooked a couple 60w speakers to it, and it rivals the house stereo. It got me the best sound at far less cost than any other method I have tried or considered.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
