Need speakers

[antipop]

I'm looking for new speakers for my sys but i'm rather cash strapped and i'd like a 5.1 system, i've the choice between the creative Inspire 5.1 5100 or the Hercules XPS510. Any idea which one performs the best and what kind of connection they use?

the hercules is a bit more powerful and expensive but the control are on the subwoofer (which will be on the ground) and that is a big drawback

Why not get the Logitech 640s I've read nothing but good stuff about them, only 67 bucks at newegg... Also if you look at the reviews on newegg our own Kunaak has a review up on em.... and the controls are on the center channel speaker!

[antipop]

They look nice even if they are a bit more expensive than the other
Can someone tell me if they do sound better than the two other?
(i can't buy at newegg because i'm in france)

those 640s look pretty nice, and a good price too.

antipop, what speakers are available to you, and how much do they cost?

I got the logitech Z-560 speakers a while ago, I luv em :D

I imagine the 640/680 are great :)

Oh man I love these speakers!!! MP3's have never sounded soooo good!!:D DVD surround is crisp and clear and since I dont have a 5.1 system on my TV I'm hearing sounds in Ronin that I have never heard before... THe bass from the sub is amazing as well. I highly recommend these speakers!!

Sounds like a pretty good deal for only $67.

[Crazymofo]

Hell of a deal I cant believe I had those crappy midiland 2.1's for so long!! Oh yeah the only bad thing about these is the blue power led on the center speaker man its just too bright!! nothing a small piece of masking tape cant cure!

[antipop]

I'll order them tomorrow

antipop, i listend to a set of these speakers at BB and they sounded really damn nice. i may even need to buy some now. :)

[antipop]

I received them today (the logitech z640) and they rocks, sounds is just great, the bass are deep, unreal2 sounds realistic and mp3 never felt so good
I have just one question : how do you plug the center channel in the game theater xp?

[Crazymofo]

Glad u like them but I have no clue where you plug the center into on that card..

[antipop]

I have a plug named center in my card but the plug is (i think it's the name) RCA and the jack is a regular jack. Does someone know if a converter exists?

[Crazymofo]

I think there may be a converter available but I'm not sure.. you have the name correct though, RCA Jack

[antipop]

i'll look at my electronic shop if they have any because that would be a lose not to use the speaker at their full potential
