I'm currently using my nforce2's onboard soundstorm on some old speakers. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks these will be replaced by my first proper 5.1 setup in the form of the Acoustic Energy Aego5's.
From what I've heard these are really good speakers and superfi have a great offer on at the moment.
My question is since I would not be getting the decoder with them would there be significant improvements using say an audigy2's analog outputs compared with the onboard soundstorm. Ideally I would get a fairly cheap av receiver something like a Sony STR-DB 780 and use the digital out on the soundstorm.
This would give me a 5.1 signal to the reciever would it not? What do you guys think would be the best solution: Soundstorm analog, optical out soundstorm with a av receiver or audigy2? Give reasons to your choice.
Thanks in advance
