My audigy support Dolby I guess but since I dont have a DVD drive

Well I dont have any of these computer speakers but I have connected comp to my 7000 watts Panasonic system. The output is enough to shake my cupboards and window panes.

Guess? · 23rd April 2006, 20:24

Harmon Kardon Soundsticks II
Quite possibly the best 2.1 computer speakers in the market

torqueunlimited · 23rd April 2006, 21:44

I use JBL Platinum 2.1 speakers and they are very good!

devarshi84 · 23rd April 2006, 22:05

My home desktop has a 2.1 setup (forgot the brand)

using sony xd-200 currently with my compaq R4000

may get a pair of high-end sennheisers/grado/bose triport/akg

firt choice certainly would be the senns. hd212 are pure techno manna.

I always thought it was that way, but have never seen documented differences in terminology

Iv got a pair of JBL platinum pro speakers for one comp. and a creative 5.1 for the other. And I prefer the JBL over the creative ones anyday!

Not a crackle from them after even years and years of heavy usage!

Godspeed.

i got a creative cambridge soundworks 5.1 speaker system and a creative audigy sound card.. overall a nice setup.

shrivz · 24th April 2006, 01:11

im using the creative inspire 5200 5.1 spkr system...
6 watts RMS per channel and 20 watts RMS to the sub..

hooked it up to my laptop through a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy2 NX (USB).. its a 24bit soundcard with analog, digital, S/P DIF & Optical outputs along with an Optical input... Supports a 7.1 spkr config...

my soundcard makes a huge difference... considering its got a 102db SNR ratio...

Fuelled · 24th April 2006, 01:50

Forgot to specify what speakers i'm using

Crative megaworks 550
5.1 surround.
THX certified.
70 watts rms per satellite.
150 watts rms for the sub.

PS: They rock big time.
