Creative Gigaworks 750 will cost near around 27K. If you're ready to waste 27K for a multimedia setup, better get a good A/V receiver and tower speaker for 5-10K more. Would agree with The Sorcerer

^^ My advice is as same as before. Altec lansing mx5021 or klipsch pro gmx 2.1 with asus xonar d2x or auzentech card. You can get the soundcard from primeabgb.com or lynx-india.com! I found certain issues with itwares that I prefer not to highlight it on a public forum.Rest is your call.

Issues with itwares means you paid for something and then never got it ??? What about the two sites that you mentioned, are they trust-worthy ???

He doesn't give a proper bill. I have seen many people saying that he just doesnt give the bill. Some of the products he sell doesn't have distributor's sticker on the box which pretty much means he is into parallel import (that's how grey market stuff is imported inside the country) which is illegal. This is something that even McCann's and certain shops in lamington road do it. These stuff is not covered under warranty by the distributors. Hence- trouble. Cheap isn't everything.

if you are going for Z5500, I don't think a soundcard is necessary. z5500 comes with external dolby/DTS decoder. All you need to do is passthrough of audio signal from your mobo to the decoder.

btw, what is the model number of your mobo.

^^ I rather would pick up the onkyo 5.1 ones against z5500 or a really good audiophile speakers like audioengine 2 2.0 or swans m10 2.1 (provided you can source swans in India). You get speakers which are 5k lesser but leagues ahead of z5500 by a pretty large margin. I bought asus xonar dx since my value card didnt have drivers for vista- but I am still searching for a fantastic pair to keep it for atleast 5 years. How can one person say a speaker is good or bad by checking out forums- or youtubing it.
Anyways no point buying even a good speakers like the legendary modifiable mx5021 on an onboard sound. z5500 is a strict no from my end. Other than that- I seriously advice the OP to audition the speakers mentioned above with high quality FLACS file and a equivalent decent sound card or a player.

He he he he. Why talk of something that are not available. Better get the one that's available in Kolkata. Again, different people different perspectives. So the OP might not like the sound of Onkyo over the Logitech. From my POV, an audiophile will never go after multimedia speakers. Speaker positioning and room-size are also very important issues. My suggestion to the OP, raise your fund (atleast 50K) and get Sonodyne / Boston HT package. Now it does sound like an audiophile :D Also, don't forget 32" Full HD LCD + XboX. I think you will be wanting the Z5500 for watching movies and stuffs. Why just enjoy the sound and not the vision ? Buena Vista :)

No point in giving further advice since OP isnt open to them in the first place. Why ask advice when having a close mind about things?

If one didn't buy what you said, it doesn't mean he is not open minded.

@Mods - sorry for replying in an old thread with no intention of helping others.

BTW, thank god I listned to Onkyo HT S3200 by myself. It's definitely not better than z5500. But whether z5500 is better than HT S3200? - I'm not sure, cause the demo room person only had movies and no music. But, but but - it is definitely not better than z5500 and I'm sure of it. The next room to HT S3200 was Yamaha HTiB - I would've checked it out, but the demo person was a kanjoos and told that there were problems in that set (he was demoing some other person while I was hearing to onkyo). In fact, I'm thinking of opening a new thread to let people know that z5500 is still a good speaker.
