hello,
i just bought Altec Lansing acs21, which is an incredible 2.1 system in my opinion.
i have it plugged in some old sound blaster live! 5.1
is it worth biuyng an audigy 2?
will my new speakers sound better on it?
i don't care about games that much, but i really DO care about music listening (mp3) and watching dvd movies

is it going to be the same with my live! 5.1 in these areas?
thanx

Err...the ACS21 is far from incredible. I doubt you'd notice a difference between your sound card and an Audigy 2 with those speakers.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If they are beautiful to you than I suppose that is all that really matters. I dont believe the audigy SC will give you any appreciable improvement over your SB live SC in the 2.1 setup.

If you're going to judge off wattage, the Logitech set has more impressive specs than that ;)

If music is your primary concern, a Chaintech AV-710 is a good card for a 2.1 set of speakers.
