Help needed in selecting a good sound card - speaker combination

[aneesh kalra]

@deathvirus_me: lol, u are comparing ATP3 with inspire 5200! ATP3 sells for 2.2k! it's quality is around greater than that of inspire 2100. to which it is compared.

and as for sound quality, u come to my home and listen to MX5021, then u will know what sound quality is all about.


as for the thread poster, if u want to listen to music, then go for 2.1. nothing better than 2.1 for music. altec lansing MX5021/6021 represent the best u can have for music. these ofcourse need a sound card to bring out their true potential, and creative audigy 2 ZS does fine for me.

Yes totally agree with you on that count altec lansing mx 5021 is the best 2.1 on sale today and mine runs fine on onboard sound too,ok saud I got mine for 8.1k in delhi you can expect one for rs 7500.

yeah
i totally agree with u

most music is stereo encoded
me too have mx5021 & audiligy2 & thompson hi fi amplifier
nothing cheap 5.1 set can meet mx5021 in 5.1 u atleast need z-5300 or z-5500 14-06-2007 09:48 PM

How have you connected the altec lansing mx 5021 to an amplifier since they are powered speakers have you only connected the satellites to the amplifier since the subwoofer has its own amplifier.

what would be the cost of mx5021 and audigy 2ZS bundled together in mumbai????

MX5021 about 8k
audigy 2 ZS about 2k

these are the best u can have. sounds comming from these babies are simply outta this world. in fact, when someone comes to your home and listen to these, they will usually phone u afterwards that they can't listen to bull$hit that is comming from there speakers now!

BUt i think he shud go for FX 5051 which retails for the same price as an FX 6021(MX 5021 hv been phased out) .

Also , the FX 5051 doesn't need a dedicated sound card coz it can work directly through USB .

saud , i suggest u got for Altec Lansing FX 5051

Is the MX 5021 still available at Lamington Road?????????

 

[deathvirus_me]

Lol ... for the price of the MX5021 , i'd rather go for a Creative Inspire T6060 , along with a Audigy 2 ZS .... anyway .. seems i'm really talking to FOOLs here who prefer 2.1 (which doesn't even exist) with 5.1 .... no matter what company they belong to ...

Dude MX 5021 is the best .. If u can buy .. A 5.1 like T6060 cannot withstand its amazing sound quality..

Note: MX5021 sheer performance none can beat it fro audiophile.
5.1 cheap for show off and low performance do not compare it with MX5021

 

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

but MX 5021 have been officially discontinued by Altec Lansing .

ALso , FX 5051 are 5.1 apeakers with buil-in SOund card so they'll work perfectly via USB n you won't have to buy an external sound card.

well 2.1 is The Best as long as you only want to hear music but for other things yeah , 5.1 has an edge .

that's why i suggested him Altec Lansing MX 5051 which r 5.1 Speakers

[gannu_rox]

Read my post again ... and this time a bit more carefully

then i believe u dont even understand what quality sound is all about

Hmmm ... ok .. i don't understand .. can u help me in details what "quality" sound means ?? ... and this goes for all who claims about "quality" sound from their speakers ... plz. explain ... i may be wrong .. so educate me ...

people buy cheap road side shirts for rs 150 but guys also buy branded shirts for rs 1000

If only computer peripherals would be same like the one of ur example .. ... so according to u , getting a 7900GT and oc'ing to 7900GTX speeds is worse than getting a 7900GTX .... hmmm ..

as far as i can percept ur post i can see u called all those people fools who prefer 2.1(even if its a damn piece like mx 5021) over 5.1 no matter what company they belong to ...

and by saying that 5.1 no matter what company they belong to ... you took some crap like intex , techcom & frontech in account too..

and for u guys who buy hi end 2.1 klipsch sets too are fools

so what do you wanna say is that for the price of the MX5021 , a Creative Inspire T6060 along with a Audigy 2 ZS would be worth buy..

its some thing like this "a guy buys a branded shirt for rs 1000/- other guy says i would prefer to buy a shirt & a trouser combo for rs 1000/- ....isn’t it like that?????


Another thing let me explain you what quality really means for me

quality is an inner feeling of pride something like that when u wear a park avenue attire & go to ur office

music quality means having a good rms set (90w for mx5021), a respectable brand (altec), respect giving genuine reviews(chip n digit for india),damn good looks that blend with interiors, boast & flaunt factors(like thx ) and most a top notch music playback capability

all above factors coupled with an original music album cd like konvicted satisfies one's inner pride and he calls it sheer quality

Pirated mp3's don’t dignify people but genuine albums do and that’s all sheer quality according to me




My advice for u "mature ur opinion for others boy , don’t use phrases like 'FOOLS' for others"

 

[deathvirus_me]

its some thing like this "a guy buys a branded shirt for rs 1000/- other guy says i would prefer to buy a shirt & a trouser combo for rs 1000/- ....isn’t it like that?????

U've got a extra liking for shirt and pants or what ??? And try to relate everything to it ??

music quality means having a good rms set (90w for mx5021), a respectable brand (altec), respect giving genuine reviews(chip n digit for india),damn good looks that blend with interiors, boast & flaunt factors(like thx ) and most a top notch music playback capability

OMG .. this is probably the height of insanity ... "quality music" judged by brand , reviews , looks , boast and flaunt factors ??? Then why get the speakers at all ?? Get some Bose headphones na .. lol ...

Go and learn something about "Sound" first particularly the about digital sound ... if u really have to test speakers .. then u should try some analog devices , and not digital outs ... if u use crappy onboard sound along with Altec Lansing .. i'll bet my whole life over the fact that a different combo (T6060 + Audigy 2 ZS duhh !!) will provide a much better alternative .. COZ OF THE BETTER SOUND DSP ... and since ur AL only has to 'portray' the sound rather than 'producing' it ... can you plz. explain me why the hell u still prefer the AL with onboard audio ??? And even worse is the fact that most here listen to MP3 rather than uncompressed audio .. lol .. i wonder if ur onboard sound can upmix mp3's !!!!

Its more like - i wasted my money , so i'll die trying to defend it ... and not ur favourite shirt and pant case ... loads of people do it ..

Wasting money is not a problem for me ... but i rather waste my money sensibly .. and particularly in case of computer peripherals ... and plz. stop comparing everything to shirts and pants ...

Oh btw .. do check the Creative T6060 speakers .. i mean .. its does have good reviews , looks and aesthetics ..!!! ...
