Sorround speakers

[abravo01]

I am looking for a set of surround speakers for my PC. I have a Creative Live 5.1 sound card and am mostly into fps games.

Have been looking at Creative's 6.1 6700 as they seem to be quite innovative and for a very good price but found out that at their site there is a big discussion going on about a problem with these (power supply, magnetic shielding?).

Anyone out there who could advise on:
- what this problem might be;
- best surround speakers for games (5.1 or 6.1, no decoder required) on the market?
- a site with an updated comparison of surround speaker sets on the market?

Cheers,

andré.

I think the best surround sound speaker for game on market is Klipsch 5.1. I have 2 set of Klipsch 2.1 and a set of 4.1 connect to my computer. It sounds great.

hi upec,

thanks for comment. the klipsch look great. don't know how they sound cos there's no dealer in portugal. very expensive though and looking at reviews Creative's megaworks seem to do better at about the same $.

nothing on the 6.1's issue?
