hi guys,
Im looking to set up an above average 2.1 speaker system (most likely in future add for 5.1) ive read good things about jbl and audioengine. Im also interested in a desktop microphone. Currently use astro a50 but im trying to switch it up as wearing headphones all the time for me isnt comfortable. Id like to hear a nice bass from a sub for gaming and music. my question is id like to keep my desk as clean as possible so is it better off to go with a nice sound card over a receiver? i have an old one but its huge and i prefer to keep my pc area as neat as possible. i see the sound blaster zxr has good reviews and im interested in that. it has 2xrca left and right input im confused as to how i would connect a 5.1? if someone could elaborate on that. im used to passive speakers only. suggestions on microphones and speakers would help a ton, thanks in advance.
