if you're willing to go with plain stereo rather than pointless 7.1 then i could recommend much better sounding speakers than any creative ones. as for the creative 7.1 speakers, yeah i guess they'd be alright - won't sound amazing obviously but i'm sure you'll be pretty satisfied with them if you're not an audiophile. Do a search for 7.1 speakers and ask around.ĩ0 watts is plenty loud. However, it is 5.1, so it wouldn't be for you. A 100 watt sub, 35 watt front and back speakers, and a 39 watt center channel. On my THX 5.1 system, I've got 280 watts of total system power (560 watts peak power). You see, that might be 90 watts divided by 7, including the sub woofer. However, any 5.1 speaker system would work fine in my book, just as long as it's a recognizable manufacturer, and has a good reputation of making quality sound systems, or computer speakers for that matter, are the ones to trust and go with. From what I hear, the Logitech X-530s were supposed to be a little better than Creative's sound systems, tho, but who's to know, they're both 70-watt systems, and those are only good if you don't have that big of a room or a big house, like my situation. Well, that won't really happen, but having too much sound power in a small house, or a small room would not work. For a small shack like mine, if I go anything too powerful, that may turn my house into rubble, which would not be a good thing. My Creative Inspire P5800s aren't all that shabby, of course, there's a lot better than 70 watt systems out there. I highly doubt that "Home Theater" speakers would work with a PC, tho, that would be asking for too much, I think. If there are any 600-watt systems for under $100 - $150, then let me know, those'd be great it they did. Maybe those might do the trick, I'll have to look around to some local shops on the best types of speakers. Imagine if they made those type of systems for PCs. I heard that there were some good home theater systems that had like, 600 - 700 watts of total power. Of course, if it was easy to do, I would have bought a home theater system, and hooked up those type of speakers into my PC. I tried them out once, and they really had that "home theaterish" quality to them. If I could afford them, I would have gone for a Klipsch Surround Sound package. You can google to find the definitions for those numbers. If you want to know for you, you need to find specifications and detailed reviews for exact numbers though. If the reviews say the distortion is low (distortion is like static on your TV), and good range (the range of sound it produces accurately), then the speakers are probably decent. Well if you read my post again, you should see what important. So you mute the microphone in the volume panel.Īs for the NewEgg reviews. You don't need to turn the mic off, just in your audio panel, make sure they arn't outputing to your speakers. My brother played WoW on there and no squealing past the third green light. Maybe that's because I'm running a voice chat program with my microphone turned on. Specifically this speaker line.įor some reason when the volume on the remote control goes past the third green light (7 would be on the highest volume setting), they start to scream, as in a really high pitched squealing noise. It's a shame really, and all because of companies like Bose, Creative, and dozens more.Īnyways this company's products come recommended by Yasunori Mitsuda, known for his work composing the music in Chrono Trigger and Xenogears. Hence, actually good speakers are almost universally more expensive, as less people have the wherewithall to buy them. You will have to find independant reviews and in person testimonials (forums are good for this), to really get a good idea of quality.Īlso, because most people don't even know what good sound is, they don't buy good speakers and fall into the marketer's trap. For example, Bose is certainly the greatest criminal in this regard. However, you arn't likely to find the information you need at the manufacturer's website, because often times the speakers suck donkey balls, and they basically lie about their specifications. A 2.1 speaker set with a clean and large range of sound is far better then a high wattage 7.1 hunk of junk. These are the two most important things to consider when looking for speakers.

You need to get good coverage of the highs, mediums and lows, and almost always this means a speaker that has independant drivers specialised for each type of sound. The is affected by things like the quality of the internal amp, the drivers (the actual speaker part), the speaker body, etc. What's far more important is the amount of noise and distortion the speaker produces. It's the same as the clockspeed non-sense with CPUs. Wattage is hardly the only consideration.
