5.1 speakers for hostel around Rs. 7000

[nomad47]

I will be using them specifically for movies... So no 2.1... About headphones, already have a lot of them which do a decent enough job...

Prime and sole objective is movies all along!!! Mentioned that in the op!!!

About the occasional gatherings, crazy sh!t happens in hostels anyway so that is not such a big issue!!!

Congrats on the purchase... Are you able to utilize the true 5.1 channels??? What are your sources??? Are you using sound cards???

Have made my mind up to buy either the F&D F6000 or the Edifier DA 5000 pro!!!

The Edifier one costs 11.5k.

The Edifier one costs 11.5k.

Yeah... Plus the sound card will cost another 6k... And am thinking about a 27" monitor too which will set me back by another 18k!!!

Okay, guys...

I couldn't find the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 USB (THX) model in India... The one that has the remote...
Only the SBX model is being sold and it sadly doesn't have a remote...

Anyway, while searching for the sound card, I came across another sound card called the ASUS SOUND CARD XONAR U7...
Here's the link for it: ASUS SOUND CARD XONAR U7 (Xonar U7 - 90YB00AB-M0AC00 - 886227439515 )

As you can see, it's a 7.1-channel sound card...

So, will I be facing any problem if I use it with my 5.1 setup???

Also, which one is the better of the two???

No idea about external USB sound cards.

Bought the Edifier DA 5000 Pro... Still unsure about the USB sound-card though...

Guys, need some help...

7.1 will be a waste of purchase if you are going to stick to using it with a 5.1 system
