I'm just about to get a new SBLive Platinum sound card and have decided to replace my dated old stereo speakers. Can someone explain the difference between the 'Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theatre 5.1', the 'Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theatre 2500d' and the 'VideoLogic Digitheatre'. In other words which is the best for build quality, quality of sound and features. Thanks Ian Young.

I recently shopped around for speakers to go with my SBLive! Settled on the Klipsch ProMedias and they rock. 4 channels @ 60 watts each (analog connections from the Live!) and a sub at 160 watts. Everything sounds awesome-including games, CD's, MIDI and my electric guitar (through a Digitech RP7 and the Live!) I considered the DTT2500 but it seemed underpowered-will you watch movies at your PC? Can't comment on the Videologic. Incidently, after my purchase I saw a review of 7 multi-media oriented speaker systems in the November 99 (printed) issue of StereoReview's Sound&Vision www.soundandvisionmag.com and they spoke nice about the ProMedias... I think the reviews at the Klipsch website are pretty accurate as well.

Cool. I've been playing my guitar through mine (running in from a digitech rp7 valve as well) I like the added bass my subwoofer puts out but still am not totally pleased with the sound quality of my speakers.

Well, I'm not sure about the 5.1's but I did try the FPS2000's and returned them the very next day. They didn't sound as good as my ALtec Lansing ACS48's. The sub woofer just couldn't match that powerful Altec unit. I think I'd go for those new Klipsch ProMedia speakers. All reviews praise them and they certainly have power behind them. I'd grab a set but it would cost me a fortune to get them into Canada. About $430 bucks Canadian, ouch! Brad.
