How many of you have surround sound?

[zerohero]

I might not have HDTV, but I do have 5.1 surround sound thanks to good prices on ebay. I just wanted to get a general overview of people who have it just like the other thread. You see with all these enhancements like HDTV, and surround sound, its intresting to see how many in the overall average gaming population actually own these devices.

I don't have an HDTV either, but I do own a set of 5.1 Logitech Z-680s.

I'm set up for surround sound. After we first got it at my parents' place, I couldn't go back to not having it, and had to set it up in my apartment.

Make sure you check out the thread for the "poor mans guide to HDTV". I'm currently in the process of doing it.

I can't even remember how long ago it was when I DIDN'T have surround sound. At least fifteen years now since I've been in this house and I took most of my stereo stuff from my last residence.

Can't imagine my primary gaming area without it, really.

[s1lence]

I have it on both of my main tv's as well as my computer, its hard to imagine gaming with out it now.

Same here. Very inexpensive and convenient.

There is no other way to watch Heat on Laserdisc other than 5.1 surround sound.

I got my first 5.1 set up in 2002, then about a year and a half ago I upgrated to 7.1.

I don't have surround on my comp, just stereo because I don't really play computer games, I mainly listen to music and 2.1 is better for that.

[unwinddesign]

Yup, I have 5.1s. Z-5500s. Good stuff, although they aren't set up correctly due to spacial issues/display problems. Should all be fixed once I switch over from my projector setup to a TV setup. Well, I guess setup a TV, given that the aforementioned piece of equipment blew out. So my 5.1s are hanging out in the basement, waiting to be used, while I game it up on some 2.1s. Oh well, they work fine for XBLA Uno.

7.1 here. I can't imagine gaming or watching movies without it now. Right at 4500 watts total including 2700 to the sub (it's really about 350 or so with peaks up to 2700). Play Rez on a good system and you'll never go back!

I have a Zenith 5.1 Setup. I love it, I just need a new TV to go with it.

I have a Denon AVR-884 surround receiver with two old Polk front speakers given to me by a friend (model unknown), two Polk RTi-4 rear speakers, Polk CSi-3 center speaker, and a Sony sub. It's great for gaming, especially Xbox in DD5.1. I also use it for DVD movies, Super Audio CDs (Dark Side of the Moon 5.1 is amazing), and DVD-Audio. The receiver also has a nice "5 channel stereo" option that plays a stereo signal through all the speakers, which is great for older games. I'm happy with it, though I currently don't have a very good TV to complement it. Saving up for a projector...

I got a crappy Venturer sound system for $50 at Thanksgiving. It's the best I'm gonna afford for a while, and it's not too bad. It's better than the two speakers in the TV.

I also don't have HDTV.

[keiblerfan69]

I have a set of Logitech X-530s. Works great for 360 and music.

[Lothars]

I have a set of 5.1 surround sound for my entertainment center and also a set of 5.1 on my computer

I would never go without 5.1 surround sound again just it's awesome.

[tholly]

i have 5.1 on my tv and 4.1 on my desktop

i would never not have it in the future.....

[hezeuschrist]

Heh, I have two 5.1 systems in the same room, one for the TV and one for the computer. Completely unnecessary, but I've got the speakers so i'm gonna use them.

I also have an HDTV and a fairly large LCD Monitor.

And personally I think that the audio makes a far larger impact for a great experience (be it gaming or movie) than the HDTV does. But then again, we barely have any access to actual HD content, so maybe that'll change.

[CosmicMonkey]

I have a Panasonic 5.1 seperate A/V amp, and Panasonic speaker set-up.

Absolute quality.

I have it on our family rm TV via a Kenwood system w/ a PS2 hooked up.

Alll my other game systems are on TVs w/ stereo sound.
