Hey guys, let me just start off by telling you I am a quality whore. I am obsessed with sound quality. I use foobar for playing music(.flac format), and have grado SR60 and HF-1 for headphones. Now its time to get my PC bumpin! I know already I want an X-fi sound card. I think I'm either going with platnium or fatlatiy but not sure. Also, can somoone reccomend me a 5.1 system?


CLIFF NOTES

1. Is the fatl1ty worth the cash over the platnium?

2. Reccomend me a really good PC speaker system 5.1 for under $300

3. I am a quality whore.

I LISTEN TO:

Underground rap, metal, hard rock, progressive rock, alternative, grunge, classic rock, some jam bands, and mild funk and blues
 
The Xtreme-Music or Platinum would be the best choices, since the only thing the Fatl1ty has is 64MB of XRAM, which currently doesnt do a whole lot, and it costs about $280. So i would say go with the Platinum.

And for speakers, i would either get the Logitech Z-5300's, or the Z-5500. Both excellent speaker systems. I have the Z-5300 and it sounds great.
 
Woah! I've wanted the Z-5500 but thought it was still $400. Didn't know the price was only $250 now. Thats what I'm gonna get for sure.
 
Top end Klipsch, Logitech, or Creative speakers will be what you are looking for. All 3 brands are high quality.
 
Klipsch speakers are the best computer speakers around. I STRONGLY recommend them.

I read this twice now in two diff. threads. I'm not argueing but if your going to make these claims then could you please ellaborate as to why they are the best.

I also recommend the Z-5500 based entirely only on the fact that I own them and know they are great.

I have heard the Z-5500, they do rock! I have the Cambridge Soundworks THX 550 5.1 and I highly recommend those. So we have someone voting Klipsch, blue voting logitech, and me voting creative. Like i said, if you go high end with any of those 3 companies, you will be getting very good speakers.
