...eating chocolate on a rollercoaster into the depths of hell and back whilst watching a good quality porn flick, naked.

Seriously, I purchased one of these the other day, in a hope to get something good out of my media. Yesturday it arrived, I set it up, shoved it into my computer and played some music. (Prodigy to be exact)

I think my heart stopped for a brief second, thats only because the volume control was on "Maximum" without my knowledge, a quick adjustment and bam I was listening to some quality music all around me, and the subwoofer was proper pumping out some awesome clean bass, it beggars belief on how cool it is.

Now obviously these beast's aren't really designed for just listening to music, they're meant to be for games and movies. So off I loaded a quick session of Battlefield 1942, and woah, you can seriously feel a war around you happening, crystal clear explosions around you. It's seriously cool.

Now your probably thinking "whats the point in this post mate?", well it's just something to over-vent my excitement on getting these new goods, and I think every games/music/movies lover should at least get a setup, its amazing how much of an improvement you get with the quality of your sound.

Anyway meh, who else has one? Mines the Creative Inspire 6700 6.1 system.

That goes in my tiny little bedroom, put it full blast and the neighbours could hear the guys shout 'Fire in the hole' and then grenades going off constantly, they asked what it was and I said Socom US Navy Seals for PS 2.

Woah, just attempting to turn the bass up on full blast makes a bloody clock on the wall downstairs come loose and fall off.

Cool

I have a 5.1 Speaker setup, but still - it kicks ass in every way.

Music sounds great on it.

Yeah lol, I only have the volume at about 1/3 of the setting, it's amazing how much power these beasts can pump out

What you want is 12-speaker surround sound. Don't think it's available for a PC, but it does wonders for the sound system in a Mercedes E220. :)

First one was a Powermax 1000 prologic jobby which lasted about 4 years, upgraded to a Sony HT-BE1 DD/DTS one last year. This'll do me until I get me own place, then it's DTS-EX 7.1 and LCD projector time baby!!

I got the cambridge soundworks desktop theater 5.1 dtt2200.

Not the best system around seeing as i got them over 2 years ago, but they still do a great job in my tiny room.

And you always know you got a decent sub when the paitings in the room next door are vibrating against the wall :)
