Firslt, i think there are many threads discussing this you can get quite a bit of extra info from there.

Secondly, Digit Magazine May 2005 carries an excellent article called "Believe Everything you Hear" you will get all sorts of information from there.

Thirdly, intex is no competition to Creative : The later is in a league of their own.

Happy speaker shopping!!

Stick with Creative. Better still, get Altec Lansing. Though I'm not sure if they'll fit your 7k spending limit.

Cheers,

Personally im a die hard fan of Altec Lansing so any other brands are pretty useless to me.......
The mag has two models in the 5.1 range
Altec 251 -- Not rated very high by the Digit test team though Rs.5000/-
*www.alteclansing.com/product_details_intl.asp?pID=251&region=asiapac&country_code=in

Altec BS3151R -- Placed 5th out of the 18 put up for reviewing and testing..............should be good Rs.6900/-
Ok this one reviewed by Digit i cannot find on the net :? Wonder if they made a mistake

So i guess these should be in your budget !!!

mohit i'm sure VS3151 is very much available in india...contact trifin technologies

i myself have seen this link many times which u provided but its not entirely accurate.....for e.g. the site lists ATP5 but its rarely available now, infact trifin will deny its avaibility in indian markets now...

regarding ur second query there's no doubt that 5100 is the best 5.1 model under 10K by altec lansing and also the best looking one.....

akshyat altec 251 is decent for dvds but not very good for music....infact very few *computer* speakers are excellent for music....one of those is altec lansing MX 5021...this particular model is good for anything be it music, dvds or games....i just hope altec comes up with a 5.1 version of this model....

khandu creative inspire 5.1 is also as good as altec 251...but 251 has slightly better bass and power handling.....if u like to play games and movies at extreme or loud volumes then avoid creative, rest assured that altecs dont crack at higher volumes.....thats where their long experience of audio speakers manufacturing comes into place... :)

Yes, the MX-5021's are just in a league of thier own , I know cause i own them. The best invetment i made on any computer accessory so far. Infact i watched a dvd yesterday night and they didn't make me feel the need for a 5.1 system.
Yup !!! suave a 5.1 MX-5021 would definately be a MUST BUY system.
