    Default So I'm getting these new speakers, right?

    Yeah. These are to replace six-year-old Altec Lansing 2.1 things. Hard fucken core upgrade, I say. On a recommendation from my so very tasteful girlfriend, I'm considering painting the silver/white/grey/whatever parts red. Yes, no?

    I was never a color specialist, but they look cool just by themselves.

    I hate to tell you this, but Logitech has been crushed in speaker tests. I can't remember if this set had the lowest or second to lowest score when different 5.1 sets were compared. But if you don't have crystal quality sounds coming from your sound card (or other device) and don't have the better sets to compare with, I'm sure they will sound nice.
    Have you seen me before?

    Nice sound system there, my friend got that set for about 49$ to replace a previous 5.1 surround sound system with really short cords and crappy performance, I suppose the red would look pretty neat on it, as long as it isn't a bland red.

    They look nice... and 71.5W is pretty damned loud. I hope you have a good soundcard to go with them.

    Good soundcard? Try nVIDIA nForce Audio. I'll get one sometime.

    Didn't know nVidia was into the audio business... Creative also make kick-ass cards that sound like gold with 5.1 speakers. Not sure if they're much more expensive than nVidia's though... but I'd get a Creative card because I've had experiences with their products.
