Is any one using Creative Labs FPS2000 speakers?
Any problems? I would also like to use the Creative Sound Station ( where two speakers hang on arms behind me) ... for a more sound immersion.

Why I'm asking is that I'm using A Turtle Beach Santa Crus sound card and when I hook up an extra
pair of speaker .. I dont hear the sounds out of all of them ( no guns) but yet when I play music sounds come out from all of them equally. But I have to use separate imput on the back the card for the extra pair of speakers .. and I think thats where the problems lies with AH.

If I understand correctly on how the Creative's hook up, all speakers connect to the back of the sub and from their two imput cables connect to the sound card ??

Ive had those.
If you can pay the little extra, get the Logitech Z-560.

300% better sound than the creative's, TRUST ME.

They should cost around $140; and they sound like $500.

Thanks for the replys .. but what I really want is
the Creative Surround Station
http://www.americas.creative.com/products/product.asp?product=34&category=16&maincategory=3

I think it would be wonderful to have a pair of speakers just behind my head, and when I'm finished playing, to be able to swing the arms out of the way.

I live in a very small apt with thin walls (of course)so quality powerful speakers would get every one pissed off.

Right now my present speakers (circa 1996)are Yamaha YST-MSW10 2.1 and a AIWA ET-700 mini speaker system designed for a CD player. All in all, sounds ok.

I know their are much better speakers than the Creative Labs FPS 2000 .... but wanted to know if someone hated them or were staisfied with them. I would think they would have to be better than what I have now.

Thanks again.
