My first post here. I am happy to find a forum dedicated to quality audio/video for Indians.
I have Creative T6060 connected to ALC888 onboard of 740G mobo. I am planning to buy Creative X-FI Titanium card. T6060 has served me very well for gaming and music. Movies with 2 ch weren't good because they would output through front left and front right which are quite underpowered. Upmixing would either force all sounds through subwoofer or none at all. I want speakers which can handle 2 ch without upmixing.
My main requirements are positional audio in gaming and clarity in movies and music with right amount of bass. Volume is not a problem. I never crossed half the max volume for t6060.
I have been recommended :
Logitech z5500 @ 18k
Onkyo S3100 @ 18k
Creative Gigaworks -I don't know
Power saving features would be welcome. If no sound is being played, if the speakers shut off its better or if the power consumption scales with volume. MY t6060 used 35w avg at my vol level.
Please help me choose.
