im thinking of picking up some megaworks 550s to replace my current creative FPS2000. i love the FPS, but i want something with more impact now, not loudness, but impact. i heard the z560s at one of my friend's houses, and the bass impact and tone was awesome.
anyway, i currently use a pair of DT880s with a pretty decent setup, and thats great for detailed cds and such, but sometimes i just want to have some ass pounding action from the computer.
my question is, because the 550s are 5.1, would it degrade the sound quality if i placed all the satellites in front of me on the desk? i get this idea that the sound from the satellites will be clashing with each other and become more garbled (because im going to put the sats right next to each other). i have no way of putting them in the rear, as i have n owall to nail them to. right now im using creative's surround station in which you can hang the satellites behind your head, but i dont think the megawork sats are compatible with it.
so will it affect the sound? if it does, ill have to use 2.1, but that'll feel wasteful since i wont be using 3 of the speakers. i really would buy a 2.1 system, but most of the ones that can match the 550 audio quality are all expensive (~$120) and jumping up to a 5.1 setup with equal calibre would be only a relatively low price hike.
