    If your going to do it right?

    ***, the Gigaworks are arguably better than the Ultras, in fact the Sats are widely considered better.


    No offense to the Ultra owners in here, but the most important thing to most audiophiles is high quality mid range and high end + soundstage.

    Not bass...

    Theres a lot of Ultra owners in here, who post regularly... so you are getting skewed toward the Ultras....

    Honestly, read reviews of both systems, if you can (I still haven't been able to here or see the Gigas in person, no one sells them in my area) go audition them, and then decide...

    Don't just go with the Ultras because everyone on these boards has.

    The Ultras own you. You're just upset because you got "pwn3d" by a set of speakers.

    I agree.. This board does seem to favor the ultras.

    The sats are a little better in the mids and highs, while the sub is a lot better then the one the gigaworks has. I want a sub that isn't boomy, and the ultras sub doesn't have bleeding bass like my z-680s do. I'd rather have a good all around system in the high end then one that is only good for sats but only a half decent sub

    P.S. I might just hop over the boarder to michigan to get some. I just need to find a michigan store that will ship them

    The reason for me to is, something more well rounded. I never had a subwoofer and never got to own any equipment that has bass below 60hz, except in demos or headphones. I am deprived!
    So ultras is I am getting, something that has a decent sub.

    I guess for the $20 difference people would rather have the bigger performance difference(bass) vs a smaller performance difference(mids and highs). Makes sense
