Has anyone who uses their PC to watch DVD's got the Creative Inspire 5.1 5700 speakers???

I need to see if there any good or not and if they are compatible with the Soundblaster Audigy Player

Thanks!!:nuts:

Unfortunately not, but I want some of those speakers to go with my Audigy aswell :)

Not that I watch any DVD's on my PC anymore.

Hi,
I don't know if they are compatible with the Audigy but I use the Inspire 5700 speakers with my standalone DVD player and the quality is very good.

As they're both Creative products I'd be very surprised if they weren't compatible!!

You should be able to make use of the digital connections as well.

Got the set and last week and I am using it with a Live! 5.1 set up as well as my Tosh DVD player and quality is good (DTS as well!).

In terms of using it with the audigy judging by what I heard from a friend it sounds brilliant.

I think they should be compatible too!! Its just that Special Reserve Mail Order magazine seems to recommed them for Live 5.1 soundcards and doesnt mention the Audigy??

By the way, how much are people picking up these speakers for??
I havent seem them under £250 I dont think???

Cheers for your replies

Overclockers (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Creative_Labs_Speaker_Systems_22.html) have them in for about £213 plus £8 for delivery, got my speakers from them very quick.

Regarding the audigy question I am *100%* sure these speakers are compaitable, the instruction manual (which you can get at creative.com) states it does as does packaging on the box. Special reserve probably haven't updated the comments for the speakers in their magazine in ages.

Cheers to The Cleaner, and all others!!

Thats a decent price, cheaper than Dabs etc...

Whats the subwoofer like, really bassy?
I got the FPS2000 and I should hope its better than that, even tho it still rocks!!!
