Borris Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 I know the technical differences between the 4.1 and 4.2 setups but i'm not sure what the real world difference is likely to be. I'll be using them mostly for games but i'd like to be able to watch DVD's and listen to mp3s but these would be secondary requirements. Any suggestions or info would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieRayDude Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 when playing dvds and games, a 4.1 system is ususally great. but a problem is that the speakers in the rear don't have the aid of a subwoofer, meaning any explosions, or other low end frequencies are lost in the rear, thus a helicopter fly-around is much less impresive. with a 4.2 system and the additional subwoofer placed in the back remedies the situation. also in games with the bass pumped up, you can feel people walk up behind you! if you got the cash go with 4.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 Ok here a 4.1 ProMedia speaker set has plenty of bass as it is.The ProMedia 2.1's have more watts per bass driver and the limiter is not set to kick in as fast. So when you use two 2.1 sets you get more bass punch and you can place to subs to get an even bass around the room(you only really need good bass at listening position here). I would say the 4.2 set is close to the ProMedia 5.1 in terms of bass punch.The 5.1 have even more punch and hit harder.The 5.1's also use two 8" woofers! After to get more you need to combine Klipsch Quintets with a KSW12 sub and a mid priced reciever like a Denon or Harman Kardon.Then you het the WHOLE multimedia experience.
