According to a review of these speakers from AnandTech Audio section:
"One major drawback to the system is the malfunctioning Quad mode. For gamers, this would be the primary listening mode; it allows for four channel soundcards to create an audio environment to accompany a gaming experience. However, the phase cancellation in the system renders this input unusable."
If "quad mode" is not an option, would the other modes offered on this system? I'm an avid gamer and this problem is giving me doubts on purchasing the speakers. I plan on purchasing from Dell's accessories site. Please provide me with all information (hopefully good) that will convince me to buy these speakers.
BTW: Speakers will be used w/ WinXP. Is this "quad mode" problem just a matter of drivers or does it extend to physical components also?
Please reply ASAP, Thank you!
