Onboard on an AN7 and my 560's. I'm happy.

I remember when the AWE32 came out, I ran the card through a Yamaha Amp to a set of 4 foot tall Optimus Mach II speakers where each speaker had a 15 and 10 inch woofer, a pair of midranges, two tweeters and a super tweeter. DOOM FAWKIN ROCKED! It's cool when the shotgun blasts blow your office chair 4 feet back.

Das Frau eventually convinced me to put my toys away and get something a little more conservative.

ATP3's w/KLH 10" sub on the nf7-S onboard soundcard, mad bass.


Your rite their, they where as much money as a cheap 4.1/5.1 system. Awsome sound quality, the only thing is...allittle lacking in the bass, and is exactly why you add the 10" home home theatre(er) sub Bu the sound they make is right on the button.
