When you say...Blow Out.... Do you mean they play what you want to hear Very Loud without distortion..?? I don't understand what you mean by *Blow Out*..??

They're clearer, louder, and no audible distortion even at full volume. They're incredibly loud and incredible clear. Very good range, very full sound. Louder than most people's home theatre system. They're 500 watts RMS total (about 2000 peak) and the sub is dual 8's in a sixth order bandpass box. Look up some reviews online. They claim to be the loudest speakers specifically designed for computers and I believe it.

btw, I run them through an Audigy 2.

I'll tell ya.....I've owned a few premier speaker systems. I have a cpl right now.. LOL!!

The 640's set apart at the right spacing and the sub adjusted properley with a good sound card will surprise you..The 5.1 is Very Very distinctive!. Trust me on this one ;) I have folks come to my home here and tell me their home stereo doesn't sound near as good...I have a Sony Mini System home stereo, I haven't used in years..100W per, it cost me around $800.00 at the time I bought it a cpl years back :)

What sound card do you have? I've got the SB Live 5.1. I was thinking about getting the SB Audigy LS, but I wasn't sure if it was worth the upgrade. I wont be able to take full advantage of the 5.1 since I can't position the speakers behind me, but I'm sure I'll figure something out once i re-do my room.

I just bought a set of Klipsch ProMedia 5.1s. They blow the 680s out of the water. (but at list price of $399 USD, you expect a lot) I'll post pics with my workstation when I get my digital camera working.

I've heard the klipsch and I disagree. After listening to both, I picked up the logitechs.

Sound Blaster Live! 5.1Platinum....

I'm not a Gamer though.So I don't know if that will do what you want..It's a great card for Music Effects :) Comes with some great added effects also ;)

This is not a great pic but here is my system. Waiting for more $$$ to install new motherboard, processor and RAM!

I just need to get rid of the white speakers and printer now. The monitor is actually silver/black but you can't tell from the pic

Here is my modest little workstation. I have a Dell Latitude X300, a Dell Inspiron XPS, and a old desktop (it got a whooping 82 points on 3dMark03) acting as a print and file server on a Samsung LCD with TV tuner built in. Got crappy little creative speakers though - doesn't matter since I don't game very much. Sorry about the pic quality - have a very old camera.

Grrr, had to post after me, didnt you Aaron! Your workstation rocks!! Just wish I could find a TR for cheap! That or the Z1!! Paying around the ?1.6k mark here! :'(

lol:DD

hey you might want to check out the new fujitsu, it comes in black and white, has a fat 80GB harddrive, s-video out, and a built-in media card reader. that thing is seriously the only competitor to the TR family to date.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
