Thinking of upgrading my speakers since i purchased a Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity 7.1 card.

i dont need 7.1,i was thinking of going 5.1 and replacing my 2.0 Logitch -x140 with these

you think they will be good? my current x140s are great but they dont have that nice sub :P

thanks in advance people!
 
That's a decent set there. Logitech makes some great speakers for a lower price seen with other brands. I run 5.1 here while having 7.1 capability just the same with the Xtreme Gamer model card.

As long as you have the room to give the speakers a little space for separation you should do quite well. Then you will definitely hear the big difference in sound when moving up to them.
 
thanks for replying,

i think thats a great price though for what i would get,it has a Headphone jack aswell for late night gaming :D

There also this one but i think the Logitechs would be better

that set does not have a headphone jack though,well i dont think it does.
 
Creative make some good speaker sets as well. However the preference would still be with Logitech and leave Creative for the sound cards. :P

Late night gaming?! You have to have a head phone jack or listen to everyone screaming at you! "turn that noise off!" :mad: GGrrrr...!!! .....:eek: :P

I always had Koss onhand for a great sound quality without the high price. Then they started using a flimsy plastic with plastic hinges that snap in a second or two. hhhmmm.... Time for a cordless Sony pair that almost sees the same amount of bass response while not too bad considering a higher price.
 
Hey Neva, i'm pretty sure Cohen has a pair of these, you should ask him :D

Also, io have the x-240. I think it's basically liek your old 140's plus a sub. good luck :D
 
i have the x 540's and they are really good.

My sister has the R1's (i think) and they are good.

My brother has the X 210's and they are very good.

So for 5.1 X 540's are really good.

The Logitech Z-640s run here have been just what the doctor ordered a few years back and can be seen at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-970073-0120-Z640-Speakers/dp/B0000AI3ZJ




Those I caught for $60 US at a pc show while simply browsing to replace a not so good 2 1/2 set. After nearly 4yrs. of use they still do well saying something about the brand to start with.

I grabbed those up when first seeing them while at a pc show back in 2004. The newer sets have obviously seen a large change in appearance since then. That believe it or not was about the only time other then on a web search where I grabbed screen capture simply to show what they looked like.

The one thing that helps a lot with that particular set is the low profile on the speakers to fit into a tight spot. I have other equipment as well as the printer generally packed in even while the mid tower is in a cabinet portion of the desk.

I did come across a refurbished set for $69.99 while I only paid $60- new at the show. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...p_0/104-6253157-6879117?ie=UTF8&condition=all

It figures EBay would see a set there. $20- used. http://cgi.ebay.com/5-1-analog-Logi...oryZ3702QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
