now thinking about getting the Hercules GameTheatre XP (with that additional box for inputs/outputs) as an upgrade to my sweet SB Live! Value card.

Also going to get a 5.1 surround system .. Narrowed it down to Klipsh ProMedia 5.1, Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 or the Cambridge SoundWorks MegaWorks 510D

What are your opinions on these speaker systems. . or any other opinions

does anyone have any experience hooking up the game theater to run 5.1 surround with any of the above systems?

thanks!

Santa Cruz outputs it the same way a Live 5.1 does which is the same way the GTXP does it cept the GTXP plugs are on the box instead of the card.
read reviews on <A HREF="http://www.3dss.com" target="_new">3dsoundsurge</A> of those two speaker systems and i say two cause you can immediately discount the DTT3500 as not a good option in my opinion.

From personal experience i highly recommend you get the new Hercules GTXP 6.1

I have the Klipsh ProMedia 4.2. It is great.

I have the Klipsch Pro Media 5.1's and find them to be awesome. Music or games it doesn't matter. I've said this before but it bares repeating: I used to have the Altec Lansing ADA 70's. When comparing the Klipsch to the my old Altecs I found that the highs were a bit crisper on the Altecs. The lows and mids were much better and more intense with the 5.1's. If you have money to burn and absolutely need a new 5.1 system now, I highly recommend the Klipsch. If you can wait, hang on and see what Altec Lansing has to offer.

I can't think of a good signature so I'll use this one.
