JBL sounds are engineered by Harmon engineers too.Some late Blaupunket , Sony and Altec Lancing are designed by Harmons .

I don't want the glass in my room to shatter into pieces. Besides, it's more showing off rather than enjoying with huge speakers. (louder the sounds, less clearer)

[chip]

well machan.. i got a 4.1 n a 7.1 (2 pcs)

[zCexVe]

Machan y dont u make a fully customize theater system. :yes: :D
I had a 4 way system circuit but I cant find the IC for that..Thats 30W each channel and for the woofer 50W.If I made that one that would be way better than this.
I've got 2 sound freakies which one makes gr8 amps and knows whats best,other makes Buffles ,fixes Woofers and modifies them.The one who makes amps have a 300W and a 350W .Unfortunately he have to listen it in the first 5 notches of volume control.Too once he blowed 3 glasses of his room accidently!!

[chaminga_d]

pasanlaksiri ayya... wat a nice sound system u have.... have u used them with maximum power... i think my 2.1 is more than i want... i have newer used it with maximum vol....

[zCexVe]

(louder the sounds, less clearer)
If u have less power output frm ur Poweramp which gives the power to the woofer u'll get crappy sounds.Dont think pasan get them.300W for 200W means crystal clear bass with that D magnet+D cone..

As far as I know, there isn't much of a difference in audio quality between latest Realtek Hi-definition APUs vs Audigy cards in music. But in gaming, the Audigy cards are superb because of EAX4.0 or even EAX5.0 (in X-Fi) support. Also, the Audigy cards use less CPU resources than an integrated APU (integrated Audigy chips use high CPU cycles as well). Drivers and various options in drivers can affect the quality too. The default settings that comes with Audigy driver could be better for you than that ones that come with Realtek or any other integrated solution. Someone else might think otherwise.
Besides, most people who are into Audio prefer other brands over Creative, such as M-Audio (Revolution 7.1) (basically VIA Envy24HT chip based cards)

2.1 Creative, plugged into a Sound Blaster card! Not the best, but serves the purpose!

(I share my apartment so can't blast off my speakers as I wish anyway!!)

[GTRZ]

Front - Altec Lansing MX5021
Rear - Home made speakers with 2 X 10" woofers and home assembled amplifier.

Good idea. But speaker matching is not good. Is that a SUB Woofer Or normal Woofer? If it is SUB woofer ur sound system is very very unbalance:yes:

I've connected my Hi-Fi setup to the computer so It gives a massive output

Top 6 PC Sound Cards

The PC audio market is in a lot of flux right now with the upcoming changes from Windows Vista. Hardware acceleration is not directly supported but the OpenAL standard is looking to change that. The market has expanded away from Creative but they are still the biggest company. The audio role of the PC is increasing with people putting their audio collections in digital formats and hooking them up to home theater systems. With all these different capabilities in mind, here is my list for the best PC audio cards based upon my research and experience.

1 ) Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro Price Range $399.99 - 254.99

http://aycu29.webshots.com/image/9828/2004198114072584434_rs.jpg

http://aycu08.webshots.com/image/8967/2004194295094928422_rs.jpg

http://aycu36.webshots.com/image/10635/2004185594448397403_rs.jpg
For the ultimate audio creation & home-theater solution!

Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ Elite Pro is the “top of the line” answer to those looking for the very best in audio creation and home entertainment - with all the power and features of the entire Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi family of sound cards bundled into one ultimate solution! These include 24-bit Crystalizer, CMSS-3D surround, and 3DMIDI. What you get is the greatest Xtreme Fidelity quality, crystal clear audio, with unbelievable surround sound - even for MIDI recordings. Unique to Sound Blaster Elite Pro are professional-quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and an incredible 116 dB SNR. Also providing for exceptional music creation are advanced features like 24-bit SoundFont sampling, ASIO ultra-low latency for precise recordings, a built-in pre-amp for direct recording, and high-impedance inputs for electric guitars.

PC gaming's never had it better too. You'll be amazed with the accuracy of EAX ADVANCED HD's breath-taking ambience reproduction. Take your game to a new level with X-RAM, the huge 64MB dedicated on-board audio memory for higher quality gaming audio and performance. Bring the cinema right to your living room - Sound Blaster X-Fi is THX certified and supports the latest home theater standards like Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES for a complete home entertainment solution.

Sound Blaster Elite Pro comes with an external I/O box that has comprehensive connections, easy-to-use knobs, a remote control, plus Creative MediaSource software to give you maximum control. The future of audio has arrived.

2 ) Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Price Range: $139.00 - $275.99

http://aycu16.webshots.com/image/8895/2004569260067703684_rs.jpg

Creative has been in the market of hardware accelerated PC audio since its beginning. Now they are one of the last companies to offer hardware acceleration in a PC audio card with their latest X-Fi line. The Platinum model is not the highest model available but it does have a lot of features. Included with the card is a multimedia remote and an interconnect box to allow audio connections on the front of any desktop computer. This really is one of the best audio experiences available.

3 ) Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Price Range: $99.99 - $140.53

http://aycu31.webshots.com/image/8350/2004515204228274626_rs.jpg

For those looking for high quality computer audio for gaming, movie watching or audio creation but don't need all the fancy add-ons that come in the more expensive X-Fi models, the Xtreme Music is an excellent choice. It has the same audio processor at the more expensive models so it can still do the various sampling rates, surround sound upmixing, surround simulation and 24-bit Crystalizer. Definitely an excellent choice for those looking to play PC games.

4 ) Auzentech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect Sound Card Price Range: $89.99 - $139.99

http://aycu38.webshots.com/image/7357/2004544903609417967_rs.jpg

Computers are becoming a major component for home entertainment systems. The problem is most PC audio cards use individual audio connectors for each channel rather than a standard digital surround sound standard like Dolby Digital. That changed with the release of the X-Mystique card and now replaced by the higher end X-Plosion 7.1 card. The support of Dolby Digital Live allows the card to automatically encoded the audio from the computer to connect with a home theater Dolby Digital audio receiver for high quality surround experience.

5 ) TURTLE BEACH TBS-3300-01 Montego DDL Sound Card Price Range: $48.77 - $79.95

http://aycu19.webshots.com/image/10138/2004514683335991195_rs.jpg

Like the X-Plosion audio card, the Turtle Beach Montego DDL card also supports the Dolby Digital Live for connecting to home theater systems. Unlike the X-Plosion card though, the Montego offers both an input and output optical SPD/IF connectors for more flexibility. Prices are roughly the same as well as features, so the choice really comes down to driver support and connectors that you might require.

6 ) M-Audio Revolution 5.1 Price Range: $79.00

http://aycu36.webshots.com/image/10075/2004559072764881244_rs.jpg

If you don't require fancy surround sound support or hardware acceleration and want a reliable good quality audio card to replace the integrated audio solutions found on most desktop computers, the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 is the card for you. This is a great inexpensive audio card that works well for music, movies or even gaming thanks to the use of the VIA Envy GT audio processor.
