Though I am pretty well versed when it comes to electronics, one thing I've never really known much about is sound. With many awesome games coming in the near future, many have suggested an upgrade in speakers to fully enjoy the gaming experience. But my question to you is this: will I really notice a difference between the speakers I currently have and the new, top-of-the-line speaker sets? I'm running on a SB Audigy 2ZS, and my speakers are Altec Lansing ACS54 4.1 speakers. Since they are pretty old and rare, let me post the specs:
Overall
--------
Total Audio Power.... 40 watts
THD.................. <0.8%@1 watt, 1 kHz
Input Sensitivity.... 300 mV for full output
Input Impedance...... >10K ohms
Frequency Response... 38 Hz - 18 kHz
Satellites
----------
Speakers (per satellite)... One 3 inch (75 mm)
Audio Power................ 5 Watts per channel
Frequency Response......... 250 Hz - 18 kHz
S/N Ratio.................. >65 dB
Subwoofer
---------
Speaker.............. One 4 inch (100 mm) long throw
Audio Power.......... 20 Watts
Frequency Repsonse... 38 Hz - 250 Hz
Power Requirements
------------------
USA/CANADA.............. 120 volts 60 Hz AC
Max Power Consumption... 120 Watts
UL/CUL/CE approved
So, will I notice a big difference if I upgrade to newer 5.1 speakers? And what are the benefits of digital over analog? Thanks 😉
