New Surround Sound

[DJ-Vimto]

Even though I already have a surround sound system for my room, I'm thinking about getting a new one, and letting my mum have the one I have got now.

i looked carefully at the specs, and its far better than what ive got now

the one ive got now is the Z-5400 which is another logitech product, but the sub is weird, it sounds different when you position it differently, but anyway, its 310W RMS, that one i might be getting is 505W RMS...a big difference and its only gonna cost £80 more

[N!ck]

Go for the z-5500s. One of the best PC-surround sounds you can get. I've read some reviews saying they're not as loud as expected, but they sound very good all the way up to max with no distortion. The sub is a beast btw. Also, remember you need around 10 times the power for approximately twice the percieved loudness.

I have them, want me to show you the setup ?

[Jamieb]

Nice.....I guess?

[Stephen!]

If they are going to be for your PC, it would be a waste not to get an expensive soundcard.

Wow!
GBP 279.99!!
Wish i had that amount to spend on this piece of hawtness.
When you get sick of this new one and upgrade you may donate :P He He. :D

im gonna be using it with my laptop & tv, and theres nothing wrong with the soundcard in my laptop. the price of something doesnt determine how good or bad it is, thats what the spec's are for

Crappy soundcards make music etc... sound crappy :/

[Minstrels]

ooo check Paul out! Going to be pumping out your bollywood music? Or will you be watching Manchester Citys tour on fall blast? They're veryyyy nice, so how many bags of weed have you had to sell? :eusa_clap

If something's made out of cardboard and tinfoil but has good specs des that mean it's good then?

Yeah, it would be better if he got a new soundcard for his laptop. I use the integrated on in my laptop at the moment and it doesn't sound to bad, but i'm on Logitech X-540s at the moment. If I upgraded to something like the Z-5500s i reckon i'd notice it majorly. You can get laptop soundcards but the're slightly more expensive and you have less choice. Alternatively you can get external sound cards which connect via USB.

Looks arent everything. As long as it does what its supposed to then why should we care what it looks like?

As I've said previously, there is nothing wrong with the soundcard I have now...and I don't really intend on going out of my way to buy a new one. The laptop I've got is only a few months old and everything in it is relatively new and up to date.

What i mean is it may have good specs but actually be bad and fall apart, not how it looks.

Doesn't matter how new it is, integrated sound cards are nothing compared to proper ones.
