    Using those speakers on the notebooks are pretty weak, I'm probrably guessing most of you guys use external Stationary speakers at home right?

    Which ones do you guys have?

    I just placed an order for the Logitech x-530, which fits my budget, it's a 5.1 system under $70(Which was my budget..). After reading alot of positive reviews, I finally ordered one!


    It'll come soon, I can't wait to play around with it :D


    What speakers do you guys use?

    I have a set of Creature II's. They're great and look nice too.

    Harman Kardon HKTS 14 system via a USB 2.0 Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX. I'm an audio nut and I like my bass.

    I just purchased a logitech 5.1 speaker set and a new laptop that i'm pretty sure doesnt have a 5.1 soundcard. I am just curious will these speakers still plug into the laptop even if they dont sound as good as the true 5.1 experience

    It should sound better then average but perhaps you'll need the Creative Audigy ZS.


    It's been over 10 days since I ordered it, UPS!!! WHERE IS MY SPEAKERS!?!?

    :(
