And I don't understand why people say *some speaker system* sounds good for games and movies but bad for music. Games and movies have music too, and music has voice(s) like games and movies. So if games and movies sound good, music should too. All nice, properly configured, speaker systems I've heard sound good for everything. The people who say this probably listen to their music through some other source and base their comparison on that. Music sounds good on my X-530 through my Xbox, music sounds good/better on my Promedia though my SB Audigy.

well watching tv you probably arent bothered by the tv's generally lousy speakers. its mostly just voices, and if its not perfect its easy to forgive. doesn't take away from the experience since its just part of the whole package. people aren't rushing out to buy nicer speakers to make sure they hear the anchorman better thats for sure. heck, look at am radio which is still a good source for news despite its lack of quality. voices still sound reasonable, but when you play music over am, its not worth the bother. with music... you expect it to sound real and most people have a very good internal reference for comparison. your ear will pick up everything wrong very quickly.

But my X-530 isn't connected to my TV, it's connected to my xbox. So the source, where the sound originates, would be the xbox.

The general point is that it's a lot easier to notice shortcomings in music than anything else.

A videogame is another source where it's not as big a deal that things sound just right. You're not going to notice boomy bass as much when your material is explosions and not a tight bass guitar track. You're not going to be able to tell the AK-47 fire isn't quite right as easily as you could tell your favorite singer sounds a bit muffled or odd.

If you're listening to CDs or something on your XBOX, then the same thing is going to apply, but if your listening is happening in conjunction with you playing a game and getting a lot of visual stimulation as well, it's going to distract from your close attention to audio details.

I am not a fan of Klipsch.. mainly because of their so called good HT equipment.

well even an x530 is better than the average tv's speakers. though thats not saying much.

I'm not quit sure if it was the Ultra's but today at Best Buy when I obught my Wire-Less Router and PCI Card I compared two speakers. A set of Klipsch Pro Media and a set of Logitech X-530. I personally have experience with the Logitech's because I own them myself. Now, to me, I believe the Logitech's sounded much more crisp and clear than the Klipsch. The sound playing was the Helicopter going and the Klipsch just did not sound very good compared to the Logitech. In my personal opinion, why spend like $200 more for speakers if there not worth it?

Bottom Line:

-The Klipsh Pro-Media's sounded more like Generic brand 2.0 speakers compared to the Logitech's which sounded alot better.

That's probably the crappiest comparison I've ever read here.

But why? I check out your BOSE=crap link and it had some Klipsch speakers as an alternative.

I actually tested my 8 year old TV speakers against the X-530 in 2.1. I laughed, the X-530, connected through my Xbox, playing music, sounded basically the same as my Xbox connected to the TV, playing the same songs; minus the over-thumping sub of the X-530.

I'm not the one that called them bad, I just thought you weren't sure what HT meant like most people that say something like "HT?"

I didn't really like the reference series stuff, but I wouldn't call it bad.
