Title: Surround Sound Systems
Post by: Marvellous G on June 12, 2010, 04:56:45 PM

So due to getting into PT and realising that 5.1 is apparently the way to go, and also because I want horror games to be scarier, I've decided to upgrade my Logitech 2.1 'system' to something better. Is this a good bet:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0006LCMK4/ref=pd_luc_mri?ie=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

And if not what others would you recommend? Preferably under £100. Finally what other albums would be good for surround sound, even if not specifically mixed?

The fact that those are so cheap makes me want to buy them before you do.

EDIT: didn't realize it wasn't eBay :lol

Are they a good bet then? I'm actually terrible at stuff like this, and Amazon user reviews aren't always the most informed...

I'm not too knowledgeable about the subject (still learning!).. but no. That does not look good. It seems like its made more for the computer, with gaming in mind. You're gonna want something made for music. I don't think you're gonna find a decent set for under 100 euro.

If you don't have a choice, it will probably get the job done, but overall, I wouldn't recommend something so cheap.
