Best amplifier to use with these if I'm going to be using it primarily on my PC for gaming? Do I need PCV Audio adapter also?

I have not used an amplifier for these speaker. I use them attached to my computer and am extremely satisfied with their sound. Their is a built in amp on one of the speakers.

Not sure what you mean by "PC speakers". Are you talking about full speaker units or just the internal speakers from PC speaker? If it's a full speaker unit, you shouldn't have to run it through this amp at all; they should be powered directly from the PC. If you're speaking of bare speakers though, just run wire directly to the speaker terminals, red to red black to black (or red to + and black to -).

I have this for my pc... Pyle PFA200 60-Watt Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier with Adapter and couldn't be happier

I used the Emotiva a-100 amplifier which is a little over $200 and it sounded great. I'm sure that the 2 channel receivers at Best Buy also should work well but are probably in the $150 and up range. You can also look up Class D amplifiers on the Internet. Some are closer to $100 and anything with 25 watts or more should suffice. Since you are using the computer, the radio on a receiver is not necessary since most stations have websites.

Not sure what you mean by an audio adapter. As long as you have an audio card installed on your pc, this works straight out of the box.

It depends, if you are just using them for headphones, you do not need an adaptor. If you are going to use them for gaming and need a microphone, V-moda sells a separate microphone accessory that allows you to plug in both headphone and microphone jack so you can use them as a gaming headset. The microphone is actually high quality, but it does cut out if you are too loud.

The speakers themselve should be enough. I have a crappy sound card and these speakers sound wonderful! Good luck. They're awesome!

Ya it actualy does your just going to have to get your self a audio to 3.3mm jack adapter as well as a xbox pc heaset adapter and these are actualy pretty good. For ps3 I recomend just getting a usb pc headset because there are no jacks built in the controlers.

I use these at home in my couch. With that said an amp that is 50w with a low pass filter will work. It doesn't have to be super high end because you probably won't play any frequencies 500hz tops.

I hooked the pc as audio input to a receiver, and hooked up the speakers as ouputs on the receiver. The receiver has more power and functionality than the the pc with respect to sound. I have this setup with 5 speakers and the PSW111 all connected to a yamaha receiver. awesome sound, works great.

Ya man, Use adapters if you can't find a patch cable that goes from 3mm to 1/4". The trick is to make sure both are in stereo or mono. I run my laptop into a multi band equalizer/pre amp and then to mixer or amp.

Yes. Simply attach a male-to-male connector to the output(headphone jack) from your PC to the input on the amp and then connect the speakers. You'll be surprised at the amp's capabilities. I would recommend less power hungry speakers though. Maybe look into some smaller desktop. I wouldn't go over a 30 watt rated speaker with this amp. Under 30 watts and it sounds great.

These are not self-amplified computer speakers. These are passive speakers that would connect to an amplifier or receiver. So you would need an amp to connect them to a PC.

A DAC is a nice complement to these for audio clarity. It will sound much better than just coming out of your computer with a analog signal. But they don't necessarily need a pra-amp or DAC if you are using a computer. The volume slider on the computer will control there volume level. The only necessity for a pre-amp or DAC is for switching multiple source devices and volume. So if you intend on only using one source and it has a way to control volume then a Pre-amp is not necessary. If this is not clear please feel fee to call us for further explanation. Thank you for your interest. By the way I think these speakers sound incredible!

I say this is a high quality Digital-to-Analog Converter in general. So unleas your computer has an extremely good sound card, this amp will work amazingly with medium to extreme quality headphones

Why not come out of the pc with the dac? Sounds like you're still using the pc dac to convert the signal. Garbage in, garbage out.
