Gaming Speakers?

I'm getting a new set of surround sound speakers and I was thinkin of the Altec Lansing FX5051 system. I've heard mixed reviews about this item but thats all that i've really found right now so should i go ahead and get them or could any of you reccomend something else in the 200 or below price range

im useing logitech 5.1 dont know the model type though ,with sub and they are loud,had them for 1 year so far with no problams,great for games, i think i payed about £120 <pound> for them ,

Logitech Z-5500 THX Certified 5.1 Speaker System with out a doubt for surround sound sytstem there still the best out there , for 2.1 system has to be razer mako , gonna get the razer setup soon , i dont like all the wires etc of multi speaker systems tbh.

So it's glowing, blowing, and shaking, therefore you have to pay twice as much?


I'd go for a good quality sound system instead of something like that.

2.1 gives stereo sound, not surround sound and without knowing who makes those speakers you can't really say what sort of sound they make especially as getting a good crossover between the subwoofer and speakers is not usually found in cheaper speakers.

I think you should try out the ambx stuff, you'll be more than pleasantly surprised

p.s i know your gonna say its not true surround , but 'omni directional' gives the sense it is

and common! dont they look stunning

Heya,

This greatly depends on what soundcard you're using or plan to use. What's the point of getting expensive speakers that can really crank it out if you're just feeding them a noisy analog signal from your motherboard's built in audio? Need to know what you're using. If you have a quality card, then the latest from Logitech and Klipsch are fantastic for the cost. However, if you have a card that does digital-out, then I recommend you go spend your money elsewhere in the home-theater department; you don't have to use `computer speakers' when you have dts or spdif out. It opens up a whole new ball game for getting great sound systems without being limited to computer stuff.

Very best,

I'm own this speaker fx5051 about 4 month.Nice speaker,also a fanatic one.. loves this company,Atp3/vs4121 also i have used.2 week after buy this fx5051 speaker gives a lot trouble.Then it have damage...no sound after all.About 1 month have a new one from waranty, same... made in china.Freak remote control.Sound with Usb conection trouble occurs rarely if using Vista...seem like it not full sycronized with Vista.My M/board intel dq35jo don't support 5.1 channel.Using Audigy value for now working fine.Using 1-2 hour try touch under woofer, it lot damn hot there.Treble vs bass not matching...
