Get the A2 ZS! That's an order mate!:p But seriously, get the Zs now or a lil later, when its prce has dropped a lil, and save up for the MW THX 550. Trust me, you won't regret it, that combo makes for killa fidelity!;) Of course, there's always GW7.1, PM5.1 and the Ultras *sighs*:p :D
heh...you sure you guys dont work for creative or something lol... btw what is the max watts on the megaworks i forget...cuz my speakers...have 95 Max wattage...
and while i have your attention... soup nazi i need your help on a problem im having with my DvD player. Okay first off im running an ati 9500pro...and i just upgraded to the new drivers and the new Multimedia Center 8.8 ...and im using that on board Sound Storm...
for some damn reason, both my Dvd Player and my Windows Media Player will not reconize that I have 6 speakers setup....even when i set in the SoundStorm Control panel 6 speakers and the control panel will play music through all speakers... TIA
:D
I believe the 550THX has 500watts of burst power.:eek: :D
I think windows media player only outputs stereo sound. Does stereo sound work for you?
Are you talking about a software dvd-player or a hardware one. What brand of software/hardware is it?
this is a software dvd player ...that came with my video card...
as for windows media player... i downloaded the new windows media 9 encoder...and under the DVD tab in the preferences in the advanced settings you can choose your speaker set up...
what is wierd..is before i upgraded to version 8.8, i recall i was able to pick between 2 speakers - 6 speakers....but when i downgraded to the old 8.5 version i still got the problem of only being able to select 2speaker output..
wow 500 wattz!! that is a spicy meatball... :eek:
500W and it hits hard and cold. Anyone willing to donate yer ears, mine's almost worn off? :p Jokes aside. What's the difference between RMS and Burst power anyway?
Hmmm...what's the brand and version of the software dvd player?
I'm not too sure about the WM stuff though and I usually only watch things in stereo.
RMS is the max wattage the speaker system can sustain over an extended period of time. Burst power is how much it can put out in peaks/very brief periods.
im using the dvd player that is in the Multimedia Center that came with my graphics card which is an ATI 9500 pro
basically i just want to get my dvd player and i guess the rest of my computer to realize i have a 6 speaker set up...only my sound storm control panel shows it..
btw i checked out thos thx speakers...nice ...though they are 200+ ..heh im a budget gamer to say the least but they are very awesome.... what is the RMS on those speakers if its not 500 watts
Unfortunately I don't own an ATI card so I'm not familiar with the software player.
Creative only gives the "BURST" rating so their probably lower in RMS, but wattage is not the only thing when choosing quality speakers. Eg. There's sensivity, clarity, distortion, etc.:)
ofcourse...
but if you do have the thx..and use Window media player i suggest you get the window media encoder 9
