Well, I'm letting you guys know that I'm getting a few things at this time in upgrading my Home Theater System. Why, I just thought you'd like to hear this, and I need a new system LOL.



Currently, I have about 250 watts coming from a 5.1 Surround Sound speaker collage running both my stereo, DVD, TV, PS2, and my PC (Laptop, not the Desktop).



It seems to me that I need slightly more power and clearity so I'm upgrading everything. I used have a few more speakers and subs a month ago but I gave those up in order to offset the cost ofthe new tech loaded ****. With the old setup, I used to put out about 600 watts of mostly distortion free music, yep, mostly becase when cranked up all the way the sound would fade a bit.



Now this is the new setup focusing primarily on the Laptop. I'm getting an external sound card with a remote capable of handling insane amounts of power (Upwards of 1000 watts depending on the number of speakers and their total RMS output). On top of the new card, I'm gonna get anotehr 5.1 Surround Speaker Set capable of 700 watts of total RMS power. In the end, I'm going to hook everything up to the Laptop's sound card so that I'll be able to run the TV, DVD Player, and the PS2 with ONE device instead of 2 or 3.



I'm giving my old stuff to my sister since it's not that complicated (she hates complicated ****) and I'm building her a new Desktop anyways. So, all in all, Srce will be terrorizing the hood once again with insane music coming through a dope system, and loud as well.

for speakers, you should think about getting paradigm. they are a canadian company and make very nice stuff. my friend has their moniter 7 towers(bi-amped) and the biggest sub(1000watt, i believe) at 1/3 volume on the sub, it shakes the house pretty good. around 80 percent its nuts.

Paradigm is pretty bad ***. Only it is pretty exspensive. I dont even want to know how much he paid for the sub. SVS claims they beat anysub on the market. Plus their cheapest sub is less then$300 and could probably keep up with it.



As for their floor standing speakers. I didnt even know they made any.
