Hi,
Firstly my number one priority is Clean and Crisp output
I listen to all kinds of Music, play some games, and watch a lot of movies.
Currently I have a Audigy 2 ZS + Inspire 7.1. But it is just not cutting it anymore of music at all, I just feel there is a lot missing out with the Inspire.
I don't really fancy a 5.1, yeah surround sound is great for games and all, but I prefer clean music over a Surround Sound and I hate dealing with a lot of wires after using the 7.1. I live in a rented place so can't really hide the wires easily is another major concern of a surround option. Even with a 7.1 for years I have never really connected all 7 speakers for long and most of the time jus used it as a 5.1 as I was not really impressed.
I have auditioned the BOSE Companion 2, and I really think they are crap as well, sorry BOSE fans, they just dont cut it for me. A friend of mine here has them, but I just think the sound is nothing close to how it should be, not crisp and clear at all, if you know what I mean.
Now, I am settled on this Combo of Xonar Essence STX/ST + AudioEngine A2.
Is this the best I can get in my budget?
Any one using this setup please comment,
Otherwise also please share your comments and concerns.
Thanks a lot
Cheers,
Nanu
