Its 5.1 :P

I've only seen a couple of 5.2 speaker setups, but they were costly.


Get the 7.1 T7700, they're about £10 more I believe.

[Dray_04]

yer sorri bout that, i meant 5.1


Get the 7.1 T7700, they're about £10 more I believe.

are you sure? in NZ dollars

[Dray_04]

nope. i did a price check, and the Creative Inspire 7.1 T7700 cost $250 NZ

[Mad Cat]

Seriously? Only a tiny bit more over here. The 5.1 5100s are performers, so I don't see why the 5200s won't be.

[Dray_04]

The 5.1 5100s are performers? i dont get it? does that mean theyre alright? or that they are good? im not too sure what you mean.

5200?

[Dray_04]

mobo soon.


do u rekon that will have a good onboard sound chip?

[Mad Cat]

5.1 5100s are excellent speakers, so the 5200 shouldn't be much worse, if not better.

[Dray_04]

thanks mad cat... i think ill just get the 5200 :)

[Mad Cat]

6CH audio = 6 channel audio so that'll work :)

[Dray_04]

oh does that mean i can have 6 speakers max??

[Mad Cat]

Yep.
