Your Speaker Setup
- Thread starter Praetor
- Start date
Yeah... when I fire up my 5.1's I dont notice nor care for the added channels much as either I'm listening to music about 15 feet away (or in a different room) or I'm playing a game and moving around way to fast to benifit from surround sound (or hell, have the sound off so i can either listen to music or concentrate on the game or something)
I cant watch DVD movies without surround sound, I became hooked when I saw the movie "What Lies Beneath" on a surround sound sytem and you could hear these water droplets in the bath tub, it was so realistic the sound.
On my computer I have two crappy polk audio speakers which doesnt matter much since my computer is just about always on mute.

Let's clarify something. I have 6 speakers. 
not all of them work. when i tried to install my mixer and all that crap windows didn't seem to find my soundblaster Live!
So yeah, just 2 work at the moment.
It said something about my system not being able to find my soundblaster card. anyone have any ideas? I've looked everywhere but can't find an answer.

I found an easy way to test the quality of an audio system without any measuring instrument: just put on some harpsichord music.
The harpsichord has a large spectra of harmonics, and when some of them are missing or atenuated then it sounds quite awful (like driving nails in your ears ).
But when both the amplifier and the speaker have a (very close to) linear frequency response then the harpsichord-experience is amazing (almost like in live audition).

You can try this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007EEKA/wwwlink-software-21/026-9190920-0214869
But Bach's and Mozart's music have also harpsichord parts, and they are more accessible.

i have just invested in a philips sensurround theatre system ... no more arido tweeting and breaking the music waves... its good - and for $100/-, a steal!
now i can even hear the nasal tones of french singers, the crystal clear harp and gregorian chant without having to kill myself! I wanted an Onkyo, but.... I'd have to specially import it and since I'm dreaming for a lappy... that would have to wait

I saw that board (in pictures), but I don't think it could make a difference, since the sound source is digital. And for an audiophile analog rules.
A vynil record has much better sound than a CD, regardless of amplifiers. Only a DVD-Audio could come close to that sound...
