So that's where you sit and dispense the audio advice. 3subs is kinda excessive for my taste, but then again I fear getting shakes when I'm at the tender age of 30 from all the vibrations that must puts out. :D
So did you somehow pipe those 2 (3?) systems to all output one signal from the computer? If so, what's the procedure called, because I have another 4 pairs of speakers from my last setup I'd like to put to good use.
Nice pics.
Thanks for the kind words.:D
(using an Audigy 2)
I have the Logitech Z560 and Monsoon PM14's running off a headphone jack splitter from the front channel. The rear channel only has the Z560 rears. I use the Z560's for games and PM14's for music.
I hooked my hometheater system via the digital outjack on the A2. I ran a headphone extention cable all the way to my Yamaha Receiver and plugged it into the digital coax input. I can't get EAX effects in games, but I can get DD/DTS from dvd movies and DD from some divx/xvid dvd-rips,;) as well as plain stereo sound.
You say you have 4 pairs of speakers? So that's 8 speakers in total?!:eek: What brand/model are they and what kind of speakers/soundcard do you have on your PC now?
im sorry soup...you just dont have enough speakers.
:(
I've got the Cambridge FPS2000's in my room and the spare Z560's sats in my bro's room. Happy? j/k:DQuote:

Soup what happens if you were to suddenly go deaf? :eek: uh oh, there would be world war 3 in the streets! No music for soup = no good!
Then I'd have to sit there and "watch" my music with winamp's visual plugins.;)
being deaf is merely a transitory state of the music not being loud enough.Quote:

Out of nowhere, my Dad came home with a Canon A70. Here's 3 pics.:)

You guys think you're all big and bad with your 5.1/6.1/7.1 systems...but I saw in the latest stereophile mag they have a surround sound system with 40 B&W loudspeakers! :eek:
Imagine such a system for the pc...you would have speakers basically all around you, and in a small room you would have to place the speakers right next to each other. Doesn't make for much of a soundstage:p .
I think Creative should make a system like this and call it the Teraworks but I doubt it would sell due to the high price tag.
Nice nice. Reminds me of my setup when I was a kid. Now I got no space here in this god forsaken dorm room. Cherish your time kid!!!
Perhaps it's time to rediscover the wonders of high-quality stereo or 2.1. I bet you'd be smitten with a nice pair of Swanns, Megaworks 2.1, or Altec Lansing 621. If you aren't watching DVD's, even something like the Altec Lansing ATP-3 would treat you well. Unfortunately, DVD's require a lot of audio juice.Quote:

Hmm, yeah you are gonna hate me, but I had some Bose cubes for my highs (I dunno, I thought they sounded really good [just the highs] at the time, and they were pretty cheap too). The Bose sub is kinda weak so I got a 12" Velodyne. All driven by a Onkyo reciever Amp. Hmm, that was like 5 years ago, god I am getting old.
yeah I pretty much just listen to music lately with all teh studying I have. Heh, actually thinking of selling the slow fatass ide drives so I won't waste my time downloading and watching movies. :pQuote:

I dunno, the z560 are pretty good imo considering the price, I mean they are not as good as the typical klipsches but they are a lot cheaper (and they have a lot more base, but I hate that. ridiculous bass is for 13 year olds), the Klipsches are more for purists willing to pay that much. shoot man, I don't even have my rears hooked up w/ the z560s atm.
Lol. Actually, I still live at home. (much cheaper);)Quote:

Velodyne makes wicked subs for the price. Too bad they're so expensive up here in Canada.:(
You gotta hook up those rear Z560 sats for games. Especially if you play Call of Duty.:eek: The Klipsch Ultra's and Gigaworks are where it's at, but they're soooo pricey right now.:cool:
hmm, do you really think boses are that bad, or just riduculously overrated?
I would say, ridiculously overated. Some inexperienced people have been brainwashed by Bose (too much marketing) into thinking they're the next best thing to sliced bread. They're pretty good if you want a VERY SMALL speaker that has decent sound. But, you can get alot more performance for your money, if you're not too picky about looks/asthetics.Quote:

Have you checked out the link in my sig?:)
Yeah, didn't read the whole thing though. I went for the bose because I wanted to get a nice sounding 5 channel setup for a decent price. Also at the time best buy and circuit city were all I knew (hifi buys has some pretty sick stuff, where I got my parent's Mitz from).Quote:

I'll give Bose one thing...they're simple to use.;)
Man I just realized I got my grandparents a Wave radio a few years back, I feel ashamed:o
Soup it's about time you got a digicam! You must be excited:)
My A2 Plat. Ex will be here friday, and you can be sure I'll post up my thoughts and some pictures. The Ultra's are just a few weeks away:D
heh, I didn't get their easy to use package with the crapomatic cd drive.Quote:

It wouldn't surprise me if Bose uses inferior electronic components, as well.;)
XP1800, I'm so stoked. I've been taking pictures of Kinder Surprise toys, fresh produce, you name it.:D Make sure you install some deadbolts on your dorm door. People will be jealous of your new speakers. :)
Produce? Geez you must be excited:p
I actually live off campus in a townhouse. My room is upstairs on the third floor, and I don't have a door, it's kinda wierd. They know not to touch my stuff though. My room is like the IT Dept. of my place, they always visit me when something breaks, haha:)
Anyways, enjoy that new camera!
