They arrived
Took 20-30 mins to setup as my room and computers awkard.
Will photo it when i can mate.
Right.. The speakers are georgeous (sp). There aint much protecting the sats tho at front just a very flexable and thin like hair cloth covering the sats. The sub has a silver mesh of metal covering the subs cone. I'ts got a good weight and is turned up to 50% and packs a punch at that, if needed i can turn bass up via windows controls which if i did and have tryed it damn well thudded with pink floyds "comfortably numb" lol i had to put it back to 50% in windows control (not sub back control).
Im clueless as to how to configure 5.1 speakers if im honest so i will never know if there setup right or sounding right. I would love if someone could come and help but obviously would be difficult. I'll try someone i know maybe but i doubt there audiophillies and would know what "sounds right" for the speakers.
The cables are shorter than i had thought. The front speakers will not mount on the wall where i would like them to. Also same with back speakers. Could do with a few meters more cabling. I dunno anything about extending cables so if someone can clue me what i would need id appreciate it.
At the mo the fronts and center is on desk and monitor. The back left is on a cd rack top. The back right speaker is on the logitech box lol (so is about 3 ft high compared to back left is about 1 meter high.
I got the soundcard oem from a friend its a audigy 2 zs. The drivers download from creative site only installed drivers and crap audio control panel (not the control panel i was wanting as is probably on the original cd for the card. Im dl media center in hopes thats what it is im missing.
Anyone know any ways you can think of that will help me configure my speakers and perhaps a mp3 or somit that has 5.1 i can test out. Most difficulty would be bass and trebble levles im supose to have. At the mo i can only do it in whatever music player i use or windows advanced audio options. Currently windows advanced is 50 50 for each of bass and treble levels. Winamp for instance is currently using preset.
So far there cool speakers and sound nice. With help i should be able to have em sounding like the reviewers did which is probably best config.
Score about 7/10 7 cos of cable shorts and lack of treble control.
