I have a set of klipsch speakers 4 speakers + the subwoofer, they use the standard home stereo speaker connection.

I also have a podxt live, is it possible to interface these equipment together? Would it sound good? Or am i better off buying a new amp.

If you use POD XT Live it is better to use those speakers than guitar amp. If you plan to use the POD Live with those speakers you can do it no problem IMO. Just find appropriate cables and adapters, and connect the out from POD to the speakers.

If you wanna hear a really good sound, I suggest that you sell those speakers and get good audio monitors. This will not color the sound, and you will hear the POD modeling well.

Do you mind recommending some good audio monitors? I don't even know what they really are ><.

I have a couple of Mackie MR5's that work nicely with anything Line6 I have plugged into them. One of them by itself sounds just fine for those quiet times.
I did not know what monitors were either when someone here recommended I get some. They look like speakers to me. ;-)

Thanks a bunch guys... man i love this site.! I plan on selling my old home theater system (i think i can get $500-$700 for em) so thats my price range... can these be used by themselves? Also i've heard of people talking about getting a PA system... what would be the difference between the two? Which is better?

They can be used by themselves. I do not know anything about PA systems but it's probably about the same only bigger. I don't want to talk you out of getting an amp either..;-) It depends on your situation.....how you plan to use your guitar in the near future.

I guess the order of importance would be:

1. Sound (The best sound)
2. Recording (Just for fun... for vocals and guitar)
3. Possibly Gigging (probably not tho as my church's band that i just joined already has a system in place, but who knows i may need an extra amp, which i'm fine buying later on in the future)... I think the Studio Monitor would be my best option? I mean if i really had to, in theory, i could just lug the whole system (Monitor and Podxt) to gig right?)

Hmm studio monitors won't be good for gigs, they are not that powerful and are meant to be used in studio or at home...For gigs you need to use an amp or possibly go from POD to speakers system club has in place where you are gigging.

If you have such a good home theater system I would try connecting from POD with appropriate cables and see if I like the sound I'm getting...Very possibly you will get a very good sound and be satisfied.

Usually when you are getting active studio monitors you want a good sound card to go with them too.
