New Poll: What type of speakers do you use with your PC?

Dom · Jul 20, 2003, 11:46 PM

Please vote in the Polling Booth (right-hand side of frontpage).

Do you use; 7.1, 6.1, 5.1, 4.1, 2.1, or stereo speakers?

Personally, I use 2.1.

Logitech Z-560 speakers, 4.1s, best speakers I've ever had on my comp

logitech Z-680 5.1 speakers, sound great altho i cant read the damned display panel

~~craig588~~ · Jul 21, 2003, 01:49 AM

I have 4 speakers, but they all have a tweater, midrange, and full woofer. I have it running through my Dual Harmon/Kardon amps. Even though this is only a 4.0 system, I'm sure it would kill any X.1 systems out there. I guess I'm asking that the poll be changed to just the number of speakers and not the X.1. Maybe I'm the only person wth a setup like this....... I guess it wouldn't matter then.

I have a four speaker setup- I could use up to 7.1 with my Fort. III 7.1, but I mostly use headphones anyways. Hard to beat the full rang sound and balance of headphones.

Altec Lansing 251b 5.1 - works great with my Audigy card

Vampyromaniac · Jul 21, 2003, 04:37 AM

Klipsch Promedia 2.1, sounds great on the M-Audio Revolution card

. . . I don't have room or money for more speakers =\

dohcmark8 · Jul 21, 2003, 05:07 AM

Stereo, Bose Interaudio 4000 speakers on a 25watt amp.

**Roadee** · Jul 21, 2003, 05:17 AM

head phones for when I play games while the wife is sleeping.....2.1 altec lansing for general stuff......and when I am in a wild mood and no one is home..... a professional multi component rack mounted club system at approximately 2200 watts per side @ 4 ohms....in a 4.2 setup....6 foot stacks in the front (tops/subs) and twin double 15" full range for the rear with the TV out hooked up to my 53" Sony........not only do you see the action.....it FEELS like you are in it. MOHAA on a whole new level

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jul 21, 2003, 05:23 AM

right now only stero ... going to 5.1 soon

Rayder · Jul 21, 2003, 06:46 AM

THIS system only has 2.1, I can't be bothered with tripping over wires all around me.

The main system in the house has 4.1's

They're both Altec Lansing iterations.

If we want real surround, we just turn on our big stereo system(Pioneer), it has 7.1 with BIG speakers, not the little dinky satelites. It's 100watts per channel and rocks the building at 1/4 volume. We really only use it when the neighbors THINK they are jammin'. You know, just to shut them up or drown out THEIR noise.

kyramas · Jul 21, 2003, 06:49 AM

2.1 Cambridge Soundworks. Pity I dont have room for a 5.1 setup....my Audigy 2 gets wasted. Gaming moslty with headphones though.

LOL- I was just doing that for 2 hours tonight! With Cerwin vega center & front sats/ JBL Music 1's rear sats + 2 subs -2 separate 7th order enclosures. It's 5.2 setup- 500w x 5 (sats) and 100w x 2 (subs) - Technics reciever, Technics amp for subs. What FUN! I drowned out the distorted excuse for MIDbass coming from upstairs.

~~HawK~~ · Jul 21, 2003, 09:13 AM

Still on 2.1
These I'm going to buy soon, to compliment my Hercules FortissimoIII-7.1

Mac Daddy · Jul 21, 2003, 01:13 PM

Setup 1

Two 12" 2 way monitors for the fronts(built by myself with Marsland Drivers)
Two 5 1/4" Kenwood 3 way Studio Monitors on the rear powerd by a 4 x 50WattRMS MOSfet power amp.
Everything is run by a mixing board.
Signals are run to and from the Puter via the mixing console

Setup 2

For those quiet times an inexpensive pair Of Harmon/Kardon computer monitors(sit on either side of my monitor).

Setup 3

Studio quality headphones for those late night gaming or recording projects.(again run from the mixing console)

DriveEuro · Jul 21, 2003, 07:28 PM
