expertec Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 2.1 for me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Just a pair of Creative stereo speakers.Same here, but 10 year old Radio Shack speakers with great high and low response! If I listen to music I put on my Sennheiser HD 280 Prod headphones. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Creative/Cambridge 5.1 on my main setup, Creative 2.1 on one of the others and a cheapo stereo pair on the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thos Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I had Creative 5.1 but found, as I don't listen to music, or indeed have them switched on most of the time, that they extra quality was unneccessary. A few months ago something went wrong with them and I bought a cheap 2.1 pair. They take up so much less room, perform admirably when I want sound and I shan't go back to a better quality system.Interesting post, Chris and useful to see how many don't invest in top quality sound.Thos.

andsome Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 2.1 plus a sub woofer is enough for me. I find that they give me good sound if I switch music on, and any more speakers would only create clutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I can't see the point of an expensive HiFi type sound system on a computer. Even the quietest machines make a noise which disturbs any enjoyment of a real sound experience. The only reason I have a 5.1 arrangement on one machine is because I was given it.I am not a musical heathen, though. Downstairs I have a very expensive Technics HiFi system - well, it was very expensive when I bought it some years ago but I've not found a lot that I would exchange it for, sound quality wise.Chris, can you define what you mean by the point one (•1) in the descriptions. I was under the impression that it meant the system was fitted with a subwoofer - e.g. a 2.1 system would have a stereo pair and a separate bass box. If that is the case then you don't have a tick box for a simple 2 speaker stereo system which one of my computers has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4\/!d Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 My PC is my juke box, with EMU 0404 sound card wired to the HiFi Amp - an old Audiolab 8000A - and then through a pair of ProAc speakers. It's on all day long :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 2.1 Logitch 50w RMS, though I have a 7.1 sound card. Can't remember the model number but they cost £98 last year, that was with P/P and the cheapest I could find them. Erm! Not sure I agree with the noise bit pops. I know you build some very quiet machines yourself too, but my setup is in the lounge and new tower picked up on Thurs. evening is so quiet that when I first booted, I thought the machine was not working. I forgot the monitor had been turned off after the blow-up. It is amazingly quiet and now on the floor at the side of my workstation, we can't hear a thing. I use mine as our music system. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I have a grey one and a blue one.Now are you sure its not a blue one and a grey one.I think that, as you look at, it from down the tube, you may well be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Powered 2.1 is good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Djohn, yes I'm dead keen on quiet machines and always build as quiet as possible. Even so, there is always some background noise which, for me spoils anything to do with real listening.I very much prefer listening through a real HIFi separates system than any computer sound setup that I've heard.

djohn Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I agree there pops. A good Hi-Fi sytem will always be best. I've not had one of those for some years though. My wife has a very nice, good quality music system in the bedroom [Panasonic] and we use the PC in the lounge for music. My previous system was very quiet but could be heard, this one I honestly can't hear it at all unless I place my ear next to the tower unit. I really did think it was not working when first booted.Sorry Chris for going slightly side topic with this. I have got some 5.1 speakers as well but no where to place them, as we also have 5.1 for the TV. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Just two Tiny monitor ones. As I don't listen to music on them, they're good enough for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Same as Pushkin. No point for me as my system sounds like the intake of a jet engine anyway. Still as herself is always saying "YOUR DEAF" so there's no point in me going for anything better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 5.1 on Creative Audigy Card and Speakers for me. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
