Logitech Z-560 on NF7-S.

[Korky]

I dont have a clue about speakers quite simply, just want to know if the NF7-S has enough sound ports (or whatever) to accomodate the Logitech Z-560 (4 speakers + sub) and would Nvidia Soundstorm be good enough to express the true power of the speakers?

Yes, Yes and Yes

IMO for music the SS is much clearer and more forceful than the Audigy2 rather than the Audig2s very heavy bass hand.

The Logitech series are the top PC speakers you can get, they'd be great with the SS, just make sure you set it to 4.1 not 5.1 or you'll lose all the dialogue etc. down the center!

ok sounds gd im guessing setting to 4.1 is just done in the soundstorm control panel.

yeah but you would get a better sound from a set of digital speakers using the soundstorms co-ax or optical out. I dont rekon the logitechs are worth going for if they dont have digital. I'd say go for an a/v reciever with speakers, you will get a much better sound for only a small amount of xtra £££

[Korky]

can you recommend any digital speakers that sticks close to the price of the logitechs.

[Spud1]

Creative Inspire 5.1 5500 - £110 on overclockers

Less power but digital connections. still dont reccomend pc speakers tho..way overpriced for what they are

[Korky]

Does the digital connection weigh out the massive power loss?

[Spud1]

depends if you want dobly digital or not if you do then yes, if not then no

also depends on the size of your room, a small room will sound v similar with low power speakers and high power ones. a large room will sound very diff

[Korky]

Id say the room is bigish for a bedroom about 20-25 feet long by 11-15 feet wide and the pc is in a corner.

i would personally go for the creative ones with the digital, buy make up your own mind - try google searching for some reviews of the speakers
