Good sound equipment

Bobo · 02-28-2005, 02:48 PM

I am looking to (finally

) get some better sound stuff. I was looking at Logitech's z-530 for the speakers, but I also need a soundcard. Unless you guys think it would work OK on integrated

So, any recommendations would be nice, for both speakers and sound card. I would really like the speakers to be Logitech, my keyboard, mouse, headphones, and joystick are all by them. $150 or less for all, please

(Yes, i know this is probably weird, me asking this with 1000+ posts, but hey, i am a boy, i suck at shopping!

)

I have a set of those Logitechs, they sound pretty sweet and you cant go wrong with the price. Right now I'm using onboard 5.1 AC97 soundcard to power them and they really do sound good, but if you don't have a good speaker system right now then it wouldn't make sense investing in a good soundcard. At least not until you got the Logitechs or something else.

Also for the sub being only 6.5" it pumps.

Do you have to have a "5.1" soundcard to use 5.1 speakers?

For these speakers, yes, if your intergrated souncard is only stero, these will end up being 2.1, both the surround and middle speakers will not work.

Oohh, that sucks.

I guess I'll have to reconfigure what I am buying...

Thanx
