I have a Creative 7.1 Xfi Extreme Gamer sound card and the oldest most decrepit junky nasty speakers in existence (creative 5.1's from the 1700's).
I am interested in some new speakers, but don't really know whats good.
The features I really want are:
Long cables for the satellites, mounting brackets or stands.
(I assume wireless speakers arent properly wireless, and in fact need a plug socket? Unless they use batteries?!).
Bass control on the volume control bit, i currently have to climb under my desk to turn it up/down!
Headphone input on the volume control bit so I dont have to unplug a speaker channel to use headphones!
Able to fully utilise the soundcard.
5.1 or 7.1 (As i understand it there isnt a colossal difference in how they sound?)
As much of the above as possible for under £200.
Any suggestions are very welcome
Thanks all!
