Whats Everybody's Speaker Setup

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah wattage aint everything....but it does have a little something to do with how loud it is. 100 watts is a lot better then 20.

I got some 4.1s...I had a picture but I dont feel like uploadin lol

For the record...you don't need alot of power to get good, loud sound.

Meh, wattage means nothing to me or anyone with gray matter between their ears.
Wattage is used as a marketing gimmick. Don't be fooled. The true specs can easily be manipulated to sell product.

Go to a fine audio store(not Best Buy, Ciruit City, et al) and listen to truly good audio equipment and you'll learn something new.

I use a simple pair of JBL Pro PC speakers and they sound particularly nice.

my .02¢

I couldn't agree more.

Yes the best judges of good quality sound are your own ears.
Don't be fooled by PMPO, PPO or anything other than RMS when gauging power output, but by the same token high output is worthless if the actual quality is piss-poor.
Hardcoregamer's setup looks impressive doesn't it? But wait... where's the rest of the specs? What about THD? >85dB snr isn't that great and how flat is the frequency response? It's OK for manufacturers to quote figures like 20Hz-22,000Hz but it'll sound shit if there's awful rolloff either side of a 1-15KHz range.
Not dissing your setup Hardcoregamer, just using your specs to illustrate a point.

Regardless, I hope you're all playing decent rawk on them.
Reminds me of goons playin loud music while they drive - sure the systems sound awsome, but they don't appear to choose music they like as much as music that makes their system sound good.

@ hardcore gamer, do they sound good in your ears? if they sound good then that&#39;s all that matters.

i&#39;m not sure what the wattage and other specs of mine are, probably not that great, but to me they sound really really good and even at really loud levels.

True,true.

Women find them irresistable, too.

[bigdawgfoxx]

what kind of headphones are they?

I love the bose ones lol

creative 5.1 speakers, sound really good, cept my rears are at the side of me so it gets a little strange when the surround sound kicks in.&nbsp;

Also I am using my onboard sound and for some reason my speakers won&#39;t output as they should as in front left ain&#39;t front left etc etc. Good for games where you hear something behind you, turn round , only to find it in front of you&nbsp;

I have the same speakers, hooked up to a sounblaster 5.1 audio card.
