Pick up the meridian explorer instead of the dragon fly. Far better sounding for not much more. Plus there is a local dealer. Not sure about prices though :p.

Thanks dada. Me too have heard it might be better overall, esp for stereophiles. :)
I have been kinda obsessed with the AQ Dragonfly, the technical wizardry and the ease of use like auto volume control via system volume, the changing colours, etc.
Need something first for portable use primarily- so can use with home pc (less often used) or notebook pc wherever i go.
Also, it might sound ok for EDM, is the feeling i got from whatever reviews i read about it.
For primary PC use, I might get a Essence One Muses Edition or something on those lines eventually when i upgrade to good speakers.

P.S. For the uninitiated-

Good, should translate into a nice balanced setup. Keep it up.
