Lets see your computer sound system setups
 

I'm sitting here with 750 watts of 5 channel power beating the back of my chair and sides of my desk.. what do you folks have?

I've got me a nice set of 100 watt JBL's. More than enough sound poundage for me.

you my friend believe to have more watts in your computer stereo than my home entertainment does. :eek2

silence nothing but silence :thumbsup

yeah :) It's all high current too. Got an old 1976 class "a" panasonic 73 watt per channel bridged in mono pounding a 4 foot tall (wide - depending on how I want it set) subwoofer bin with a single 10 inch 300 watt jenson behind my chair with two surrounds on each side of it taking in 50 watts each side from a high current Sherwood combo amp/tuner. I also have a 500 watt JVC reciever pounding into two full sized floor standing towers with 10 inch paper cones with rubber surrounds. on each side of my desk pointing inwards at my chair. It is unreal.

I was listening to a tune from Fear Factory and I could literaly feel my whole chair flutter with each bass drum kick. Fucking AMAZING sound...

"Altec Lansing ADA-995 is a Lucasfilm THX certified 5.1 channel speaker system. Each satellite features a 3-inch full range driver and 1.5-inch tweeter. The subwoofer produces rich deep bass with two 6.5-inch long throw drivers in a ported enclosure. Overall, this system delivers over 200 watts of continuous power at an impressive 115dB. This is by far the ultimate audio system for any computer and it brings true cinema sound to your PC. Installation is a breeze with all the satellites connecting directly to the subwoofer. "

VideoLogic Sirocco Crossfire:

"Sirocco Crossfire's uncompromising design delivers 100W true RMS (over 1000W PMPO), using the same amplifier subsystem as Sirocco to deliver exciting dynamics, clarity and ultra-low distortion."

I have my pc connected too (see below)


Denon AVR3802 reciever (110 watts per channel - hich current)
2 Cerwin Vega LS12 300watts (Main fronts)
1 Cerwin Vega E-76c 125 watts (center)
2 Cerwin Vega E-706 125 watts (surround)
2 Cerwin Vega E-76c 125 watts (surround back for dolby digital 6.1/7.1)
1 Cerwin Vage LW-12 150 watts (Sub) - had another sub but let my bro have it

That's my home theatre setup but I have my pc connected to it also for now.

When I can afford it I'm gonna upgrade my reciever to a Denon AVR-5803

Onkyo dolby digital receiver here, with an ATI 2 channel amp (225 watts per channel into 4 ohms) driving the mains. 5 PSB Stratus speakers all around, with a PSB 350 watt, 15 inch subwoofer.

Playing 'Call of Duty' rocks with over 1000 watts of power.
:Graucho

Only wish this Audigy 2 Platinum sound card I wasted all this money on would do true dolby digital out the digital output.

Toms hardware doesnt like link hotten.

My Spark-O-Matic 6x9s I have duct taped under my monitor pwn all your measly sound systems.

All sounds good :) Most amps claimed to be high current aren't, but I will vouche that Denon actualy is. Buddy of mine has a denon amp, really kicks major balls, right up there with Yamaha... in fact, I think Denon uses the same chasis.

I see you're a Cerwin fan. Not bad party speakers. I blew a pair of 100 watt cerwins with a 25 watt amp tho. Pop the drivers out and slap some Paradigm drivers in them and you have yourself a slamming good quality sounding system :thumbsup

nice one :thumbsup

That's odd, the audigy should do true dolby digital. My sblive x-gamer does

Not out the digital output. I have it connected to the digital input on my receiver (just one coax cable) and it just comes out as dolby pro logic. The only way to get 5.1 (or 6.1) out of it is to use the analog outputs.

ah, you might need an external DTS decoder then. Do you have the live drive? Try using the optical connections and see what happens.

I have 5.1's and just got some 2.1's for the enjoyment of the office staff. The 5.1's get loud enough to break windows and sound very clean and sweet while they're doing it.

Klipsch. It's the shit.

Nah, I researched it for days on the newsgroups, etc. and I know for sure you can't get true 5.1 or 6.1 out of any of the digital outputs (unless you are using Creative Labs speakers, which have a proprietary digital connector)

It downconverts it to 2 channels so you have to choose dolby pro logic on the receiver.

The only way for it to work is if your receiver has 5.1 (or higher) analog inputs, so you can connect all the analog outputs of the sound card directly into the receiver.

Still sounds good though as dolby pro logic. Would be nice to have the rear sound separation though.

Klipsch 5.1's

ah man, that sucks, to get the rear discrete channels I run a second amp just for rears. I am using all analogue myself. It's a pain in the ass to tweak two seperate amps to sound alike but I managed with the help of a 22 band EQ on the fronts and a 5 band on the rears and a shelving AND parametric on the sub amp

Right now all I am missing is a center channel that is discrete. So I'm in 4 channel mode on my sound card. Works kick ass for music and gamming, just wouldn't watch movies on the pc when I have a discrete 5 channel sound going on in the living room.

Mine get in tomorrow. :thumbsup

Electrocompaniet ECI2 and some Dali speakers.

The ECI2 is a 2 x 50 W class A amplifier form Norway.

that's what I was going to buy too.. all my friends said Altec kicks ass.
I've made an audition and changed my mind.

I haven't blown my Cerwin Vegas yet so it's all good :) I love my Denon amp. Fucking rocks the house big time. When I do blow my CV speakers I'll keep your reccomendation in mind :)

I wanna get myself a much bigger sub later on though.. Of course with the setup I have now I get plenty of very clear and powerful bass. My land lady tried to compete with my system yesterday lol.. After the "competeion" she came down here and was like "WTF do you have?" lol I warned her when I moved in not to compete haha

Yngwie

I have an older pair of altec lansings with sub. Usually just use headphones when I'm on the computer. Easier to work that way I think.

Given to me by ARS in a contest they had.... Klipsch 5.1s :thumbsup
