Again, wether you like the music reproduction of a speaker set or not is very subjective. Without knowing your listening setup (referring mostly to position of speakers relative to hearing position) the best advice for a more faithful audio reproduction is probably to get a decent surround receiver that will take the input provided by your card and connect some passive studio monitors designed to be close to the hearing position and maybe a subwoofer (depending on the monitors they might already produce better bass than your current subwoofer).īut at this point you're in a couple hundered bucks and might realise you don't like the faithful tone reproduction as much as you liked the sound of your original system. And once people are done there they're likely to get sucked into the completely unscientific voodoo of "HiFi" audio cables that cost >100$ per meter. High quality HiFi setups are a botomless money pit anyway because you can always spend more money on better speakers, amplifiers and room optimisation. However this is not a problem if you like their sound. The small size of the satellite speakers makes it physically impossible for them to faithfully reproduce lower tones. They were probably considered very good because there were very few 4.1 amplified speaker systems on the market in early 2000s.įor what they are they are probably actually good speakers.īut from a HiFi POV they can't be that good. Please know that I'm certainly not trying to rip on your speakers here. What modern speaker 5.1 set sounds same or better than the old Cambridge ones ? Like best of the best.Ĭambridge SoundWorks FPS1600 4.1 FourPointSurround. Reply 10 of 11, by user33331īack in the early 2000 these speakers where the holy grail. If you're used to the speakers you're currently using and like how they sound there's no need to upgrade. Still sound reception is very subjective and wether you like the sound of your speakers heavily depends on preference. Objectively your speakers probably don't have the best sound reproduction.

Your sound card has to have proper drivers for your OS.

Don't know if there are any hardware differences compared to modern sets ? These below are probably the only 5.1 modern speaker sets available today:Īs long as your speaker set is connected via audio cables (no matter wether analog or digital) and does not have some sort of built in sound card OS compatibility isn't an issue. Then I was thinking that if my 2002, FPS1600 4.1 SoundWorks speakers aren't compatible with Win10 anymore. 😵 user33331 wrote: Then I was thinking that if my 2002, FPS1600 4.1 SoundWorks speakers aren't compatible with Win10 anymore. But sometimes there are problems with motherboards/UEFI not fully supporting the chips or DMA/IRQ on them.

They feature a PCIe->PCI bridge chip (which is exactly how most current motherboards incorporate PCI) plus often some sort of power delivery.
