THANKS TO WAHEED FOR THIS POLL IDEA:

How many speakers do you have on your PC?

Headphones only
Standard 2 Speakers
2.1
4.1
5.1
6.1
7.1
more than 7.
None - no speakers attached - except for the computer speaker - the beep type.

I have a LOGITECH 5.1 speaker system but it's not currently hooked up. I am using a 2.1 system currently. I used the 5.1 for another project but never got around to rehooking it to my desktop.

The majority of the time just the stereo speakers. The sound card has coax out so sometimes I hook it up to the home theater and listen to music on the 5.1.

[edDV]

5.1 via S/PDIF to receiver-amp
2 speakers in LCD monitor
2 TV speakers monitoring IEEE-1394 output through ADVC-100 (DV to analog transcode)

I guess that totals to 10 speakers.

I guess you should pick the configuration you use most often for the poll choice

2x 1" speakers on the LCD monitor connected analog to the sound card.

I've got an old set of Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 speakers plugged in to my Audigy 4 soundcard as I think I can more accurately judge where sounds are coming from in games than I could with a set of 5.1 speakers. (Which are now plugged into the PVR in the bedroom!)

Do those require earthquake cross bracing on the wall joists?

Great...another tube amp snob,tubes are sooo 20th century. :P


As for my PC's:my HTPC is hooked up to my 5.1 amp via coaxial and my video PC has 2.1(8" sub).

[dcsos]

These are similar to the top end of my Janszens-also has woofer
this company is back in 2006!

Note: I never said I have a tube amp, Just like them for "softening " the sound of the computer!

[Dv8ted2]

I had a 5.1 set, but it gave out on me, so I use stereo speakers for now.

[dcsos]

ENJOY!
as that's the actual brand on the front of the speaker!

[TheFamilyMan]

I use a pair of somewhat cheesey Jensens for "casual use". For hardcore stuff, I use a 5.1 headset with a mic. It's not perfect 5.1, but decent enough. My real speakers live on the HiFi in the living room: a pair of dynaudio monitors with a matched pair of isobaric loaded passive subs.

[greymalkin]

I'm pretty ghetto fabulous. I had a pioneer SS amp, 2 jbl tower speakers (with 8" woofers), and a pioneer surround speaker package (c, sl, sr). I then went from the sub out to another stereo amp and used it to push 2 10" jensen car subs in a bandpass box! It was a rumbling good time till the jensens blew. Had them for about 10 years. now I'm looking for better 10"s to put in that box

I'm actually about to swap my jbl's to the rear surrounds and use some older sharp monster tower speakers as FL and FR. they have 2 12's in them which I'm sure my SS amp will push poorly. So I'll still need the subs to fill out the low end. It should sound much better with all full size speakers (except for the center), however.

Now that I have big sound I need big picture! A projector will be my next purchase.

Not including my Sennheiser 580's I have a Logitech Z-5500 500 Watts 5.1 Speaker system hooked up to a Terratec Aureon 7.1 Universe sound card.

[Xylob the Destroyer]

2 are connected to stereo PC speakers
1 is connected to a 5.1 receiver with dual subs
1 is connected to a 4.0 receiver (that only has 2 speakers hooked up right now)

[The1]

Logitech Z680 actually they look identical to the Alesis ProActive 5.1.

Like them so much I got another for the TV in my bedroom.
