Midiland or Creative?

[de8212]

Not to start another "my speakers are better than your speakers" thread but what are the differences in the Midiland 8200 and Creative's 3500's? Which ones are more clear/crisp and have better all around sound? Other recommendations are appreciated but I won't be getting klipsch's. Too much bass for me.
And I have neard others recommend BA's but I can't find too much info on them. Anyone have a good link?

Also if anyone actually owns one of the above speakers and can take a pic of the front satellites and scan/email them to me that would be great. I want to see approximately how tall they are so I don't want an extreme close-up pic.
Thanks

I don't know abt Creative but I have the Midiland 8200. For this speaker to work, u have to use S/PDIF optical cable, otherwise there will be distortions like low humming sound. So I thought I let u know ahead of time.

I am using this for my home theater as I am broke but it sounds pretty good. If u are using this for gaming, it might not be so ideal. So it very much depends on what u need it for.

Well I have the original SBLive! with the daughter board. Does that have the S/PDIF optical cable or the input for it? I am at work now so I can't actually look at the back.

To give you an idea of the size of the Midiland sattelites....picture a Rubik's cube...they are shaped exactly like that but just a little bigger. I have the 8200's and as far as Home Theater Digital Dolby sound and seperation, I think they sound awesome!.....For games they seem a little flat compared to my Creative MicroWorks speakers.....but for the DVD quality Home Theater sound they more than make up for any "slight" gaming weaknessess you may notice which aren't major......When you hear Gladiator on these puppies, you will forget everything else!

Can Videologic be added to this.

I prefer the Videologic DigiTheatre, its bass may not be the best, but other aspect is good.

I haven't heard of videologic. Anyone have a link?
I want it to be as crystal clear as multimedia speakers can be with a good midrange and decent bass. I heard the klipsch lack mid and have heart-pounding bass. I know I could always set the bass only half way or something but I gotta have the mid's. ALso klipsch satellites are kinda bigger than I want. I like the small sat's.

Hmmm videlogic seems a bit out of my range. And I thouhgt my range was high. I want to keep it under $300.00. I htink I just saw the videologic's for about 579.00. Unless somebody out there knows of an amazing deal I better stick w/creative or midiland's.
thanks
