Audio Engine 5+ good?
Hi, i recently came across this brand Audio Engine and after I had read some reviews, it sounds rather promising. I'm currently using the Creative Inspire T6160 5.1 speakers , which apparently just died on me after usage for almost 3 years. Still can't figure out why it's spoiled (suddenly just hear distorted sound coming out, volume is VERY SOFT even though I max my volume).
I personally find the quality of the creative speakers still quite up to my standard cos I also using an additional Creative Titanium X-Fi soundcard. So my question is, is this Audio Engine 5+ suitable for use for my desktop? i.e. for movies and music and games. I'm very particular about quality, not too overboard, must be clear, sharp, reasonable bass. I've always been using 5.1 speakers all my life, how does a 2.1 differs from a 5.1 set up? Or any other suitable brand without going too deep into the pocket? looking at <$200. Thanks.
