Sound Systems for PC

[David]

Even though this thread is for discussing 2.0, 2.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 Speaker systems for PC, you could also post reviews for normal home theater sytems also. But the main focus is PC speakers.

Creative Inspire T6100 - Review

so here i go..



Bought a Creative Inspire T6100 Last friday.. Price Rs.3400 (Logtech,Trivandrum)...
Simply I LUVD IT... amazing sound quality...

PROS:

* Superb SubWoofer Range with Pure Base! No Distortion upto max.!
* Bass Reflexes are great compared to my previous T6060 & AL2000.
* Slim shaped Sub. Easy to accomodate than Cubic ones.
* Quality tweeters on front cones.
* Total Rms of 76W


CONS:
nothin about sound quality, just sum minor conz..

* the wires of rear speakers are comparitivly short.(extendable using rca cables)
* the power LED bulb, a hi bright blue one on the left.fr seems annoying for me..
* i felt a lack of a wired remote! T6060type.. but it comes with a volume control on the front left speaker.
i think , its normal for a computer speaker!



Rating: 4.5 out of 5 <- a best buy audio gear for this price!

Foot Note : The Satellite speaker arrangments (room correction) plays an important role in the 5.1 audio experience. I took hours to perfectly arrange it! after arranging > True 5.1

Upcoming Reviews On: Bose Headphone and AltecLansing 2.1

@kumbidi Is the rear speaker volume loud as the front speakers? Also the rear speaker cable length is 4 meters, right? I only needs 4.5 m, so i could use a small length rca extension lead for that!

Also thanks for the review.

There are no other 5.1 systems available in the market at affordable price. Other brands like bose and jbl are not available and altec lansing will be over 10,000. Audioengine is usa only. need to import if needed.

u r welcome! the rear n frnt speakers are almost balanced on speaker fill mode. On 6Ch output, only fx n bgms are routed via rear speakers. If the playout is a 5.1 source, then u cant feel the balance tones of rear speakers cos of effects!
Im using Realtek HD audio panel to indpndly cntrl the channels. (soundcard is optional, im using onboard).

And about the cables, it can be extended usin a Male-Female RCA cable. Better go for a high quality copper rca cable!..
