I have the Cambridge DTT 2500. It is irritating that I can't change the volume by remote control. What is the best comparable set of speakers I can get that does have a remote control unit on them?

If you are talking about a wireless remote, then it is gonna be pretty hard to find. I would suggest that you get a Audigy Platinum instead since they come with a remote that you can use for volume.

I have the SOun Blaster Live 5.1 with Live Drive right now. I also have the DTT 2500 series Speakers. The 3500's used to have the remote control. But point is. This remote wont work that volume when playing DVD's through my H+ decoder card because its not an amplified signal. The dvd signal goes directly from the card to the speakers in digital un amplified format. I need a set of speakers that can be adjusted independently no matter what signal is going into them. I saw on the Creative site that the Inspire 5.1 5700 series has a remote but it doesn't say if its wireless or not. But it shows a little picture. Anyone else have any input on this matter?

I wasn't talking about the Live! Drive. It has a wireless remote. As you were saying though, the top of the line Creative speakers do come with a remote.

I'd like to see what other options there are in terms of high quality 5.1 speakers as well. I've been using the DTT2500 for two years now and while I don't really need an upgrade, I always keep my eyes open for something that might be better.

Lore - If you have the money, the Klipsch Pro Media 5.1's are awesome. There are no other speakers that can match them in my opinion. I don't have them though, but I do have the Logitech z560s. If you can deal with just 4.1 surround, then the Logitechs are impossible to beat for the price.
