hi, i hv finally decided to go for the next step of audio setups
- from my current 2.1 creative speakers to something u ppl gonna suggest.
my budget is something like this : 5K for audio card and another 5k for 5.1 speakerset. which is practically the max / upper limit of what i can spend.
right now, considering 2 audio cards -
(a) X-Fi Xtreme audio and
(b) X-Fi Xtremegamer.
from that creative website, i couldnt understand understand if there are much differences in these 2 cards, both looked nearly same to me
. but i suppose there must b some advantages Xtremegamer has over "audio" one. tell me some details abt it guys anso tell me their prices in kolkata and abroad ...... i would like to know if i can fit them inside my budget.
yah , forgot to tell ----- my requirement is everything - multichannel surround sound in movies and gaming as well as clear n crisp music listening. (not at ver high volume)
here comes the speakers now, currently i own that creative SBS 370 2.1 one. but extremely disapponted abt it sub-woofer, its sound is pretty hard to hear at normal or lower volumes and seems they r channeling all the other frequency sound @ a lower volume to that subwoofer. u can actually hear the whole song from it , not connecting the satellites and just increasing the volume . higher frequency sound will b produced in a lower volume tho. opposite is true as well , the most boom boom sound it prroduces are generated from its satellites lol
. otherwise sounds are clear at normal volume.
what i expect from my next system is that, sub-woofer will be very strong (Max BOOM BOOM) and sound will b as crisp and clear as possible under my budget. we dont hv sounddproof walls in our house so , dont listen to stuff at very high volume - so no comparision with Z5500 guys (even if its uber expensive).
considering these speaker atm - (a) logitec X-540 (b) logitec X-530 (c) creative inspire T6060 /6100.
alrite, please share me ur suggestionss, experiences and price/ quality knowledges here with me. as i annxioussly waiting for my next big leap.
