Sound Quality
I
decided to play a few audio CD’s with the Digital Amplifier
set to Music mode as recommended. Sound is perfectly clear, as
you’d expect & I could enable the Digital output only
options offered by Surround Mixer too.
Games
- As expected the sounds were very “clean” & in fact
the greatest improvement was with the subwoofer. Playing
Soldier of Fortune, using a shotgun tended to rattle some of
the items on my desk. As you can guess having an explosion go
off in your face is quite unnerving. It does somewhat bring
your more into the game though.
While
my previous FPS1000 speakers had a subwoofer too, this one is
a lot better in my opinion.
DVD
- Just like being in the cinema really. There’s not really
too much to say about it other than the Dolby Surround is
stunning. Obviously you need a DVD drive & movies to use
this, but if you don't you would be going for the FPS2000
speakers wouldn't you.
Conclusion
Brilliant.
For the user that wants the best, these are the best speakers
I have every heard/used (too bad I haven’t tested the
Klipsch Promedia or Sirocco Crossfire for comparison). The
DTT2500 is a must for everyone who owns a Creative card, as
these were designed specifically with these in mind,
particularly the Live! Range of cards. The digital sound is,
as you would expect perfectly clear & distortion free, not
to mention that the speakers look very nice as well.
The
Digital amplifier itself offers a nice range of features &
connectors for both digital & analog connections. The
sound is great in everything from CD audio to DVD films to
games.
