What audio rigs are you guys runnin'?

[eldorado99]

Just out of curiousity. Im gettin new speakers.

 

[RockGuitarDude]

Monsoon MH-505 5.1 Surround Sound
(best speakers in the world)

 

[WobbleWobble]

SoundStorm + Logitech Z640s

I live in an apartment and the noise travels well between walls... so a low powered system is good enough

 

[konakona]

as shown in my rig profile...
chaintech AV-710 / Hoontech DSP24 -> DIY ZEN -> HD580 /w cable upgrades + CD3000
my Fisher 400 should arrive in mail soon... AOS Piccolo DAC is getting ready to be shipped from canada
i am gonna see how well the new ESI card stacks up against EMU1212.... might upgrade the soundcard if it turns out really worth it...

oh yeah, i use midiland S2-4100s also. does anyone remember these? they were the thing to get back in the days, still miles ahead of kilpsch stuff for 2channel music

Burnt CD decoration

As you can see the rear speakers are ghetto-rigged to the sides of the closet with 2 strings of 4-pound test fishing line. Yeah I didn't think it would work for too long either, but it's been doing the job for over a year now.

As with the CD, I just thought it looked cool, and with gullible people I tell them that's what happens to CD-RWs when you rewrite them too much. (It was done with a propane torch).

[Corporate Thug]

audigy II + Z-560

 

[eldorado99]

Yeah I'm leaning towards the Klipsch 5.1 Ultras personally. I like music, but I want gaming sound so I am also trying to decide which soundcard to get at the moment as well.

[RanDum72]

Creative Audigy2 ZS to Yamaha RX-V530 receiver, Speakers are Energy Take 5.2 (with matching S8.2 sub). Connections are both 6-channel analog outs (from Audigy to 5.1 direct inputs of the Yamaha) and digital (coax out from Audigy to coax in of the receiver). For gaming, I use the analog outs, movies and music I use the digital out.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Pioneer VSX-555 and Polk RT28i for my home office, shared between my desktop (Audigy2 ZS) and lossless FLAC music server (Hercules GTXP).

Soundstorm and Logitech Z3s. It's good enough for the office, any more and the wife would complain.

[ArmchairAthlete]

Asus A7n8x Deluxe's onboard Soundstorm + Altec Lansing 251 5.1 Amplified 6-Piece Speaker System

Cheap but effective.

EDIT: I'll be living in a dorm soon so I can't even crank this up high anyhow. Even in my house now I'd make people angry with loud music/games.

I guess I need to invest in GOOD headphones.

1. SN45G's onboard Soundstorm > Optical Out > Sony CMT-333 MD unit

2. Free Logitech headset/mic that came with UT2K4 SE

 

[NokiaDude]

Creative Audigy 2 ZS + Altec Lansing ATP-3's. The subwoofer is a big as it gets for the under $100 range, the 6" sub pumps out awesome bass when placed correctly, like a corner.
