Hi guys,
From 2001 till last month i was using a creative Cambridge inspire4.1( white coloured) speaker system connected to the on board sound card . It was really awesome. Well i am a rock n rolla fan and i used to get goosebump when i listened to those tracks. Though the sub-woofer was moderate in size but it was powerful. And the most important thing which i liked about it was that, at low volume the high and the mid range were very distinctive and they never used to get mixed. Each instrument being played on the track was noticeable. Even at low volume i used to get goosebump.
Recently i got a logitech z-5500 for 16.5k. It sounds ok with my on board sound card. At high volume the logitech performs well but at low volume i am not getting that kind of punch that i used to get from the creative. When i inquired about this to an sound engineer he told me that since the size of the cone of the creative speakers is less than that of the logitech speaker, creative speaker can deliver more acoustics in lesser power(volume) than logitech speakers. So he told me to get a sound card and boost the mid and the high range from the software. And when i asked him about the sound card he said he doesnt know much about sound card(He uses the Yamaha and korg mixers) and instead he told me to join "hifivision" and ask u guys!.... So here is my question
For which sound card should i go in?
Note: the speaker system has the DTS decoder and Dolby decoder for the optical and coaxial inputs. Dont know about the analog one. I am not so tech savvy. So please correct me incase i have mentioned something wrong.
Your reviews would be really helpful because lot of guys like me will be really confused about the sound cards for their high end multimedia speakers.
Thanks a lot
