The Ubiquitous, Most Glorious, Longest Shelf Life Known to Geeks ...

Soundblaster Live! 5.1 Card:

Coupled with the Well Nigh Unknown, Highly Underrated, Most Hammering and Fine Freq Reproducing ADA995's:

...

200 watts continuous ...

That speaker set is simply amazing; hard to come by these days. The seperate mids/tweets in the satellites create some brilliant highs and mids ... and the dual bass cabinet is solid as well.

Altec has always made some very high-quality equipment, in my opinion.

I think we should make pics mandatory. What fun is it to read about an audio setup without seeing it?

I had a cambridge soundworks 2.1 system before this ... it was damn good for a two speaker setup ... again, another set that was shining in the frequency response range ... at the time, late 1999, I paid a pretty penny for them.

But these ADA995's ... man... I could sit in the middle of them all day.

Been wanting to buy a 250.00+ kit from Fry's (logitech/creative) with the intention of returning them the same week, just so I could do a review against the ADA995's ...

I'll post a link here if I do it in the next week or two ...

Otherwise ... I know nothing about Altec Lansing's stuff ...

Well I just recieved a set of Logitech 5300e which will be hooked up to my new computer with a Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer. For portable audio I have a Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB and a pair of Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studios.

Sry, no pics...

Computer: Turtle Beach Riviera into a set of Altec Lansing 2100s.
MP3 player: Creative Zen Nano Plus 1GB
Stereo: Sony CDP-250Z CD changer into a Sherwood RX-4105 receiver into a pair of budget KLH speakers. Sounds surprisingly nice.
Headphones: Bose TriPort (I don't care what people say, I got 'em for free and they sure sound nice and are comfortable as hell to wear.)
Earbuds: Etymotic Research ER-6 Isolators (Bass response is lacking, but their frequency response is really flat overall).

Home Theater (not mine, technically): Onkyo TX-SR501 receiver driving a nice 5.1 set from Cambridge Soundworks

Living room stereo (also not mine): Dell Latitude CPt and Dual turntable into an Onkyo TX-DS575 (The DSP died, so the pre-amp output to the subwoofer doesn't work) into a good 2.1 set from Cambridge Soundworks.

Also, not really my audio setup for listening to music, more like for making it...

Bass rig: Peavey Millennium 5 BXP and SX SP-57TM into a Korg Toneworks AX-3000B into a 50W Laney BC-50. The result: pure bass goodness. Working on maybe ditching the Peavey for a Schecter Stiletto 5
