VideoLogic Digitheatre review

Bij GA-Hardware is een review gemaakt van de Digitheatre van VideoLogic. Deze speakerset bestaat uit een subwoofer/versterker, twee frontspeakers, twee surroundspeakers, een centerspeaker en een decoderunit (met afstandsbediening). Wat betreft de geluidssterkte is deze speakerset wat minder dan de concurrentie. Dolby Digital is op deze set echter zeer goed te beluisteren, zelfs als de speakers niet optimaal opgesteld zijn. Meer kwaliteit dan kwantiteit dus . Ondanks dat dit eigenlijk computerspeakers zijn, kun je ze bijvoorbeeld ook bij een standalone DVD speler gebruiken.

Overall I was quite pleased with the performance of the speakers. They have just about every feature that you would want from a good set of 5.1 speakers for a computer. Unless you use your computer as your main entertainment system I would really see no reason why anyone would want to go any higher on the performance scale than these speakers. They offer great features and sound in an affordable package. One thing that is particularly nice about this set is that they can also be used with your TV or home entertainment system. Although I don't know how many of you would be willing to set up the speakers in a different room every time you wanted to watch a DVD on the TV with 5.1 sound.

After spending a good amount of time using these speakers as my primary sound system I have to say that I was nothing but pleased with it's performance. While it did have a few shortcomings, particularly with it's inability to produce clear sound at the upper limits of it's volume settings. As I mentioned before, this isn't that big of detraction as long as you don't plan on using the speakers for parties. What I did like was the speakers ability to play clear and crisp sound. At optimal volume levels they really do sound as good if not better than the THX certified Klipsch Pro-Media speakers.

[...] The only other consideration that you would have to take into account with these speakers is the actual price. While they aren't that expensive compared to other 5.1 solutions they certainly don't come cheap, even the LC version will cost you more than $150 US. But of course if you are willing to pay nearly $100 for a sound card that supports the LC version you will certainly be willing to pay just a bit more for speakers that pair with it perfectly.
