5.1 Speakers for Gaming/Movies and then Music

[Marjana Ricky]

Ok as the topic says i am looking for a new 5.1 speaker system to use with my gaming system. So far i have shortlisted these three:

1. Edifier 5000PRO
2. F&D 6000
3. F&D 6000U

Budget is 10K (Indian Currency)

One thing more, do i need sound card to run these? I am already running Creative 5.1 6100 (not happy with bass at all) on my Motherboard Audio i.e. Asus P8 Z77 VPRO.

Thanks in advance.

do u have a sound card??

all these F&D and edifier is sad... believe me

my personal choice is Logitech z906, I would suggest you to wait a bit more and get that
I think flipkart or snapdeal is giving it in discount...

the 3D surround is awesome.
a different level of sound which ul never get in edifier or F&D.

sorry didn't read the whole thing 😀

u shud get a sound card for better performance of a 5.1 speakers.
onboard sound card are sad until u have a creative onboard.

Yeah i know what z906 is capable of but its like double the cost of Edifier DA5000PRO .. z906 is 22-23K here 🙁 And i will be getting Asus Xonar DX sound card later no matter what system i buy or any other choice for sound card better then this?

if ur buying a 5.1 get a creative card. I have a D2X coz I have a 7.1 speaker system. D2X is not that great. Asus 🙁

Im also indian 😀

I just don't like F&D Edifier, they have loudness not that crystal sound.

LOL Creative sound cards are not great tbh Asus is better here. But thing is if budget is 10K and you asking to extend it to 23K, that is huge man!! Even if i decided to go for it, that means waiting 2-3 months to save enough for z906 but not sure is it worth the price tag of 23K? As there are mixed reviews for it.
