i jusr gave my altec lansing ada 995 thx speakers to the mrs thinking i wouldnt miss them , but after 10 mins of messin with my music software i realise i need decent sound back her old speakers i swapped with her are crap

i defo want 5.1 and a thx rating with nice shaped sats , the sub goes under my desk so thats no prob hidding

my sound card is a creative digital live

what speakers should i be looking at guys ?

appreciate your replys guys , but i`m a bit surprised realy , going back to my ada 995`s , have you ever heard them ?? they are fantastic and waisted on my Mrs setup running ac97 from the board ...but she`s happy , but when i had them running of my creative dig SB live they where responsive and full and never lagged for a second which some cheapo stuff will do , i never ever noticed a range defecet and i rekon ( like most ) that i have a good ear for music , the THX rating is as you say over hyped in the Pc world BUT with the ADA995`s the Bass was well controlled and in abundance if needed , i was hopping another different set of THX rated speakers would be the same ??

i have a NAD setup in my lounge for cd work and a Yam DTS amp feeding a collection of mission floor standers and RCF sats for surround with a Morduant Short 309 adding the good stuff when needed all passed by silver jubilee and coax so i do know what half decent DTS sounds like

and i stil say the ada995`s were equal to my lounge setup ...i think tbh it had more to do with room size and shape than overall sound quality though , my PC room being nice and square and my lounge being 30 ft long

so back to the speaker acquisition in question if you guys say that the modern THX PC speakers are not a lot of good i`l avoid em and try to find something different

but i am surprised the modern THX setups fall short of decent

but it does insure a decent level of Bass rather than a struggling out of breath sub ...or does it ?? hahaha we could go on all day as you guys know , the sound conversation is akin to the big bang theory many hours of prostagination with litttle result hahahahah...is prosagination a real word or did i just make that up ??
