Your Speaker set-up

jerimiah40 · 27th April 2005, 19:54

How are your speakers set up? My rec room has 5 speaker surround, hooked up to a massive amplifier, which has my computer, my TV and a cd player hooked into it. I'm not talented enough to draw even a rough scetch of it, so I'll describe it:

Front Left and Right Speakers - 100 watts-per-channel
Front Center - 60 Watts
Back Left and Right Speakers - 90 watts-per-channel
Amplifier - 6 inputs, 6 outputs (I think)

My Bedroom has two 50 watt speakers hanging from the roof, which is attached to a 20 watt-per-channel amp, which has a 5-device audio switch box, which has input one as my computer, input 2 is my diskman, and the last 3 are empty.

i have 4 speaker surround sound when i have my cheapy speakers and my stereo turned on at the same time. the stereo isn't very powerful but it powers 2 Infinity SS 2003 100w RMS(per speaker) for the rear speakers. the setup for my front speakers is a $20 14w 2.1 setup i got from Cyber Acoustics. i can watch movies in 4 speaker surround sound and it sounds really good too.

PC speakers are 200-watt Klipsch 2.1, fed by an Echo Indigo DAC/op-amp. Home theater is 600-watt 5.1 with hardware Dolby Surround and DTS decoding, Sony and Bose (but upgrading soon). When I have my other PC connected to it, I use the Echo device between it and the home theater receiver.

For private listening I use Sennheiser HD-590 headphones and a Xin Super Mini headphone amp. At work, while exercising, etc. I use Sony MDR-ED21LP earbuds with the afforementioned Xin amp.

And with all types of output (headphone or speaker), when a PC is the source I always use the Echo Indigo.

100W RMS Clone sound system.
A bassbooster plus 2 mid-high boxes

I use a 5-cd Philips fw-c577 stereo, which has USB input for use as computer speakers. Great sound, lots of power, doubles as cd-player, radio, and has 2 more alternate inputs. Very cool.

FYI: This is the third time I've posted about this in these forums.

my little brother needed some speakers so I gave him mine. Right now for sound I use the line in on my Casio CTK-593 Keyboard. I am afraid to turn it too high because I don't want to blow the speakers in the keyboard.

mordecai84 · 27th April 2005, 23:35

I have Creative Gigawroks 7.1 which pumps out about 700 watts.

I also have a mini system that gives out about 400 watts connected to an awesome deck, which is playing Led Zep II at the mo.

I just got a decoder for my comp today which lets me play music in 7.1 all the time. Sweet

For Satellite TV and console games I use a Philips HTiaB (Home Theater in a Box) 5.1 system with the 150 watt subwoofer under my couch.

I actually use two speakers per channel: the orginal small speakers, and some bigger 50 watt (I think) speakers right under them to give a bit of a sound boost. The center channel is actually a 300 watt car speaker box with 2 woofers and tweeters (perfect for the center effects

). Yeah I know my system is ghetto rigged; but it gets the job done.

For both movies and PC games I use my 'new' Sennheisers.

I used to watch DVDs on my TV, but I've found that it's much more satisfying to watch them on a 16-ish inch 1920x1200 res widescreen laptop LCD than a 20 inch 720x480 4:3 standard-def TV. Plus, the Sennies are quite good at simulating a 5.1 enviroment using my PowerDVDs headphone plugin.
