Im running my music off my desktop.
My long term goals would be to buy my own house, and have my computer hooked into a HT system for watching movies and music. However my long term goals are almost irrelevant right now as I am no where near buying a house.
The only upgrade I could see within the next few years is wanting surround sound for playing games. I do play games once and a while, but my priority is music. I dont like to upgrade often. I was originaly going to buy the Klipsch promedia 2.1. After doing some researched I realized that if I bought the Klipsch I wouldnt be satisfied and would be looking for something better in a few months. Now I am here trying to figure out what I can get for $1000. Ill probably end up going over my budget but it will be well worth it. I am in no rush to pull the trigger and will wait until I am 100% sure in my purchase. Although I would like to have this system finished by the end of February.
I am more concerned about here and now as this purchase will last me years. The best future proofing I can do right now is the receiver and subwoofer. Then in the future some time ill buy some front towers/amp and put my bookshelf speakers in the rear.
So far my plan is to get the SVS PB10-NSD Subwoofer($579), there is store close by where I can pick it up, and behringer 2030p($270shipped) bookshelf speakers(Ill mod them for sure as I love modding

) Ill try and find the 2030p cheaper somewhere.
