Thats a hell of a price.

They usualy go for 180+

Also; if you feel like messing with your audio you can get swappable op amps for the stx for anywhere from 3-10$ each

Aftermarket amps that are essentially an upgrade? I know absolutley nothing about audio cards, how many op amps am I looking at and what exactly would I gain from them?

Those are solid speakers though? They're listed @ 130 on newegg which is normally about the same price at Frys.

BTW the 105$ is for the speakers. The Essence is still 180$ lol

I'm saying the price of a used ST = the price of a new STX... I know what "they" say about this card.

I dont know anything about the speakers tbh

And the op amps just change the characteristics of the sound card.

Give it more bass or trebble/ clarity / positioning / etc based on which op amp you buy.

Would the type of amps I decide to get ultimately depend on the kind of speakers I get, or are there certain amps popular with the STX?
