So my good old Sony DTS (only 2 games have used this to my knowledge, ssx tricky and uncharted, much better sound quality, not so much on uncharted though..) amp fried to death

I might bury it in the garden to be fair, it's one of the family :(

I need a cheap replacement, times are hard till end of year (all my debts clear from november to january.. so excited :D) and then i gotta spend new found wealth on house..bloody women priorites are all fucked up..

So i gotta get a new one for the next year or two MAX, afterwards i will just hand it down to my nipper.

So looking at this (would prefer 7.1 but meh and THX apporved is nice, but its a extra 50 notes for nothing really..)
http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/y...
might as well buy some nice little speakers so my nipper can have them when hand it down
http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-packag...

getting it this month as i NEED my sound, can anyone top this for same price or find same items cheaper?

i really wanted this other setup.. but misses wont let me spend 3k on it..yet :) i'll keep badgering her though.

Like I said dude, go for the Pioneer over the Yamaha any day of the week:

http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/p...

Plus, the Sony that you linked above(http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/sony/strda3500es/sony-strda3500) is not much better
than the Pioneer I told you about anyway, other than it does 7.1 as opposed to 5.1.

Seeing as money is an issue for us all right now, having the extra two speakers in a 7.1 setup seems crazy, so stick with 5.1 and grab that
Pioneer before the earth ends!

As for speakers, the package you linked seem ok to a degree, but you remember what happened to those `Egg` speakers I gave you don`t you?
The literally lasted you 5 minutes. I know that they weren`t specifically built for the job, but you`ll need something that take the punishment.

If you were going to spend the extra money on that Sony amp, then I`d save the £100, go for the Pioneer amplifier and spend £200 on a better
speaker package mate.

Shit me dude, I`ve just found out the package deal you`ve always wanted man!!!!!!!!!

You remember the original Yamaha amp that you saw for £149.99 !?! well they have got that amp, PLUS the speakers you linked above, (£99.95 per set - totaling £250), for just £199.95 - THE LOT!!!!!!

That`ll save you £50 overall mate.

Although the amp in the linked package is different in name to that of the separate one you saw, the specs are IDENTICAL mate!

After looking on line though, people do tend to lean away from small Yamaha speakers man. Up to you though dude.

Why spend £200 - £250 on a package though dude, when all of the below will blow your mind for £100 more:


Amplifier:

http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/p...

£149.95


Front & rear Eltax bookshelf speakers:

http://www.richersounds.com/product/bookshelf-spea...

£29.95 per pair, (£59.90 for two pairs).


Centre speaker:

http://www.richersounds.com/product/centre-speaker...

£49.95


Subwoofer: (this isn`t the cheapest woofer by the way dude, but I`ve heard this one go and boy does it go!!!!

http://www.richersounds.com/product/subwoofers/cam...

£100.00

Cheaper alternative is the Eltax woofer:

http://www.richersounds.com/product/subwoofers/elt...

£79.95, but for the extra £20, I`d have the Cambridge audio one above.


Total for the cheaper Eltax subwoofer is: £340.00

Total for the dearer Cambridge Audio woofer is: £360.00

You`ll be spending £100 more, but at least it`ll last you no?!?

My new boy comes today :D cant wait :D

i was thinking more (well i wanted the JBL ones but no longer in production.. shame they was awesome)

I do like these wharfdales, but to be fair seem pricey for wharfs.
http://www.petertyson.co.uk/ebuttonz/speakers/qaco...
or my fave so far

http://www.richersounds.com/product/centre-speaker...
http://www.richersounds.com/product/bookshelf-spea... x4 or x2 and these
http://www.richersounds.com/product/floorstanders/...

yeah just means i gotta save like fook :( but with my debts coming to a end on December the 22nd HOO-FUCKING_RAH! i should be able to buy centre and 2 books 1 month and month after the floorstanders then next 2 months over that buy my dual subs (1 behind my sofa and 1 by the other sofa, both put in corners to amplify the subs power so they dont have to work as hard)

I'd go for monitor audio over wharfs any day, more costly, but far better product.

Those look waaaay better in the flesh than the picture lets on too mate! After popping up the other night, I was highly impressed with not only the look of the speakers, but also their power and sound quality too!

The picture is somewhat misleading though, as the subwoofer isn`t square, (as shown in the image), but oblong in shape.

Shame that the 2 subwoofers `killed` / deafened everyone in your street lol. I told you that I would`ve opted for 5.1 all along, but maybe in the future you could play around with two subs again and get a nice balance?

Either way, I know what you`re like, and when you described the subs as `booming so loudly that theu sapped up all the breatheable air in the room`, I know it`s loud! rofl.

Probably not the best thread to post this in, but I'm looking for a decent 2.1 speaker-set for my PC.

Anyone that can recommend a good set?

Agree with ManThatYouFear, as these look the bollocks! The subwoofer is even `Active` too which`ll help during late night play lol.

Also, for the price, I do like these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prod...

Or even these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prod... (Youtube vid here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNkGVESQXFA).

Enjoy buddy.

Well I'm a knob so that kind of fits

Other than that, I was actually looking at it's bigger brother earlier;

http://www.edifier-international.com/products/edif...

But then again 220 euro's for a 2.1 set is a bit too much to be honest

At least with these: http://www.richersounds.com/product/ipods-docks-ac...
you`ll get an active subwoofer. The set/s you linked do look the bollox too, but I couldn`t see much on there regarding
the woofer being active or passive......and believe me, active FTW!

Unboxing here buddy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeCjMBUvyKM

The ones that you pointed out have got a 70 watt woofer which`ll blow you into next week dude rofl.

I`ve got a set of Altec Lansing 2.0 speakers which I`ve had for yonks now and they are great:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0z_0Mc6aEI

Although they are smaller to the ones you`re after, they are very loud. Id go for the JBL Creature 3`s and spend the
rest of the money you`ve saved on your girlfriend lol.

Velodyne subs are amazing and even lower models like CHT Qs are great. Im loving my Yamaha RX-V 2067/Monitor Audio Silver setup tho ( which I'll upgrade to Platinium one day :P)

  • Driftwood

    Driftwood @Blackninja: je doute qu'ils osent modifier ce genre de choses, car le jeu original n'était pas construit sur de telles mécaniques. Avec un remake, tu dois penser aussi aux fans de la première heure. (il y a 6 Heures)

  • Blackninja

    Blackninja @Driftwood: C’est sûr que la plaine de nos jours en 2 min 30 tu en fais le tour. Tant qu’il n’y a pas d’endurance et d’armes qui cassent 😡 (il y a 12 Heures)

  • Driftwood

    Driftwood @Blackninja: il va surtout falloir revoir le game design et la structure du jeu non ? Capcom a réussi ses remakes. Il n'y a pas de raison que Nintendo se plante avec une licence importante comme Zelda (il y a 12 Heures)

  • Blackninja

    Blackninja Dans le même genre le remake de OOT va avoir beaucoup à faire pour convaincre. Il va falloir garder la formule originale en étant obliger d’apporter des élément de TOTK sans dénaturer le tout (il y a 13 Heures)
