what surroundspeakers should i buy?

zezami · Sep 3, 2003, 12:25 PM

I recently bought a creative audigy2 platinum eX and I'm using the kx drivers which have worked great so far!

Now im wondering what surround speakers i should buy, i've been thinking of the creative inspire 6.1 package.. but is it possible to use all it's features even though Im not using creatives own (real shitty) drivers?

Or should I aim for some other surroundspeakers?

Im a total newbie in this area.. please give me some advice

Thanks

Dont worry about speakers being compatible with drivers. There is no difference, because all analog\digital audio signals are the same.

(No, i dont mean digital is analog, i just mean that signal types are driver-independant)

As long as the speakers you buy are 6.1, regardless of whether they are digital or analog, they should be able to run on any driver/card.

(just make sure they plug into the device itself, and not into the USB. Some older speakers attempted at making card-independant sound)

You can try these speakers

Klipsch 6.1 Speakers (my personal favorite) or...
Logitech Speakers (I am not sure if they have a 6.1 set, but i think so)

or you could go with the inspire 6.1 package they are also good.
