DBvader Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Hi! i just sold my Klipsch 4.1s, Sound Card, and Cable (Monster) to a friend for 350. and here i am sittin on my computer...wit no sound. Consequestly, i am forced to look at the beatiful picture of the 5.1s and dream of the day that they will be in stock. O yeah the point of my post...Sound Cards, everyone has one, i need one. What is a good card, i was just looking for a cheap OEM SB LIVE! 5.1, but what is all of this i hear about the Game Theatre XP? Who makes it, and is the sound quality really better than the SBLIVE!? is this actaully an accepted sentiment? On the first will only the website be selling the 4.1s or will every retailler, because i really dont wanna pay 20 dollars or more for shipping. when i ordered my first pair of pros, i ordered them from www.outpost.com but since then those morons got rid of their free shipping deal. and what is this that i always here about the Game Theatre being able to take Stero Sound and distribute it to 5 channels, can the 5.1 SBL do that? o well. please get back to me, thanks Vader ------------------ BRING ON THE POWER!

DBvader Posted July 26, 2001 Author Share Posted July 26, 2001 o yeah...what type of hookup do the 5.1s use in the back of the speaker is it the raw wire? or the mono 1/8th inch miniplug? ------------------ BRING ON THE POWER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rol1 Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 The last time I looked at vanns.com they were doing the free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabbycatt Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 There's already been a hundred and one posts on this topic, so to break it down very simply, If you need lots of extra connections Go with the GTXP, if all you need is a basic 5.1 sound card with Great sound get the Philips Acoustic Edge. Both are great cards and both are better than their SoundBlaster equivalent. As to your second question the 5.1;s are supposed to have spring clips on the back of the speakers rather than the miniplugs. So any wire can be used easily.

DBvader Posted July 26, 2001 Author Share Posted July 26, 2001 and these cards are supposed to be better than a 5.1 Plat? i can get the Game Theatre XP for about 115 or a SBLIVE! for about 150. ------------------ BRING ON THE POWER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabbycatt Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 If you can get the XP for 35 bucks less then go for it. Its a GREAT card, you'll love it. Even if the XP was $35 more, than the SB Live it would be a better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
