Sound Cards

[Supernatural]

I'm not telling anyone to spend $1,000 on speakers. That is rediculous! I'm just saying to get a nice 200w or 400w system. They go for about $150-$200, and that is VERY resonable, IMO.

[ooo]

umm anything under 40 dollars is nice ... lolz

I'm speaking from experience here, bargain speakers are no bargain at all. But you have the right to do what you want.

It&#39;s decent, but does not even come CLOSE to Soundblaster Audigy and Klipsch Promedia 4.1. I would gladly spend the cash, but that&#39;s just me.
