Title: Good Surround Sound Sysytem with Gamecube....
Post by: Nick Ramon on July 26, 2003, 06:58:24 PM
Does anyone know of a really good but not stupidly expensive ssurround sound system I could buy for my T.V? I've searched for surround sound forums but can't find any. I wanna have good surround sound if I get the panasonic Q. So what brands and systems should I look at?........

I dont know.. Pro Logic II speakers arent usually cheap but I use Logitech Z-680's they are pretty good.

The sites Here

The only problem is they dont come cheap.

Nononoo dont buy those speakers, they are HORRIBLE. You want Phillips or Sony. You can find cheap and really good 90-watt bookshelf speakers for $20 at Circuit City. If you cant afford a full surround sound system thats the best way to go.

I dont know what non expensive is to you but I personally went out and got a Sound Blaster sound card for my computer and a set of 5.1 speakers and i just connect the 2 audio outputs from my GC into a Y connector and plug it into my line in spot and it works just fine for me. The sound card and speakers were each $80. I havent looked at just a set of 5.1 speakers for my TV so not sure on pricing there. This is just a thought.

You can't just go with a set of speakers.  You also need a Dolby ProLogic2 Decoder.  The cheapest PL2 receivers you can find are still some $300 (US).  Great buy though if you can afford it.
