Hi,


I usually play games with headphones which is nice because it allows you to hear a lot of subtle sounds that can be lost in a speaker setup (my experience in the past with lower end speakers). I also like headphones because they allow good surround sound positioning. I am hoping that I can put together a speaker setup that would allow me to get the audio quality I am used to with a good pair of headphones and offer good positional audio as well. The room I game in is pretty small at 10' x 12'. I want quality and immersion, but I don't want to waste my money on something that might be overkill. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would a good compact system be sufficient?


I was thinking about a Definitive Technology Procinema 1000 Or should I go for a bigger speaker package?


Many thanks!

Those are decent from what I've read, never actually heard them myself though.

I've had these for a while and think they are really great for a smallish system: http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/products/vector/

My current PC setup is these : http://www.edifier.ca/english/speakers/s550/s550.htm and to be honest, they are quite good for the price I paid ($342 on sale) and i likew them because I didn't want a receiver on my Gaming desk and it's a nice, great sounding, all in 1 system.


What are you going to be running for a receiver to power your speakers?

How much are you going to be paying for the Definitive 1000 set? You may be able to piece a better set together.

Because of how sensitive they are (and that I'm a Klipsch fan) any of the RSX packages would be a great choice, assuming you can find them online. I'm bummed Klipsch discoed them as they were great value for the dollar.

there is huge thread about the definative 1000 series so alot of members use them. bigger speakers are almost always better if you have the space but for 10x12 small should be fine.

a cheaper alternative to consider may be energy take 5 they often are praised for bang for buck.

Probably about $1200 total.
