Bocaj Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 From the great bulk of reviews I've read the are unparalleled in quality, power, and value. I've thus decided I must have them. Word on the street is that the updated Promedia 4.1 are soon to be released (surely not soon enough). So I figure I should exercise patience and wait for the new and improved and highly sought commodity. I've also found that Philip's Acoustic Edge is the most compatible with the PM and has the best features. The QMSS sounds superior in emulating surround from a stereo source to that of SB Live. The card comes with a bundled with PowerDVD 3.0 and, from what I gather, can decode digital dolby and down-mix to a 4.1 system (I realize the Klipsch 4.1 uses a phantom center). I will be using my stereo/computer primarily for music. But if I've got such a kick arss system and little additional hardware is required, I'd like to get the full Dolby Digital surround system operational for DVD. I'm inquiring if there is anything additional I would need while I'm waiting for the new Pros (any inside info on a release date would be swell). Any feedback is appreciated.

Gluegun Posted February 14, 2001 Share Posted February 14, 2001 You don't need anything else. Although headphones would help.....such as the sennheiser HD495. unfortunately, the pro's headphone jack isnt known for its outstanding quality, and hte AE isnt known for its outstanding headphone quality either... ------------------ "Feh."

Seb Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 it would be less time-consuming and expensive to just forfeit that and buy a good can amp from headphone.com... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
