If they were top notch when you bought them a few years ago, then chances are they are now.

yea sound waves dont change a whole lot over time.
that is unless they discovered a material that could make sound crisper than they already can make it, and they manufacture it for even more money making the measurements even more precise...
generally the more money they are the better the sound... unless theyre money hungry and they just charge a lot. just get a good pair of reputable speakers from a reputable company.

I paid $180 for them about 3 years ago... they still sound great! But my brother has a crappy set right now to hold him over because I want new ones. I know they're better ones out there somewhere because they weren't the absolute best on the market even then. Just want a REAL badass and CRISP 5.1 set of speakers thar are just compatible with every feature the X-Fi Fatality offers. I just love awesome sound... :-)

It's not changing the sound waves, it producing more power, higher quality speakers.

I'd say the z-5500's would be a great choice

and not just because i like how they look... i own them.
for $50 or so they're the best speakers you can get in my opinion... put a pair of those of the 2.1 version of them on each of the computers ive built and nobody's had any of them blow (haha) and none of them said they didnt like them. with the right sound card you can adjust the frontal and back volume so that it sounds like the back speakers are just as close as the front speakers.

the other speakers are good, but very expensive.

Exactly. I love my set of X-530s, and along w/ my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, I can use the speaker optimizer thingy and then I can't distinguish which side they are coming from

As for you, Chris, I would suggest the 5300s, though they might not be much better than your current ones.

Tell me you wouldn't want 505 watts to bring down the house with?

Those 5500Es looked like they could get everyone hop.. hop.. hopping(mad

) around. "turn it down now or we'll..."

! "who set off the car alarm again?"

who knows?
