Well James,
Perhaps it was what you were playing thru your Toshiba rather that the system it's self. I have listened to some of the best speakers that could almost play the whole spectrum nearly up to 20K and they sounded terrible! Much the same with Condenser Microphones. They can capture every bit of sound even what you don't want! But Dynamic Mics can as well. Great Specs, terrible sound. Speakers that mask unwanted sounds, with lessor specs usually are more acceptable.

I had a pair of expensive speakers and listened to them for a while. They sounded great. Then I compared them to a pair of 2 way speakers i have with 8 Inch Wolfer and 1 inch Tweeters. I couldn't tell the difference! I returned the expensive speakers.

Today you can buy a DVD PLayer for maybe $30.00. And DVD Players need much better specs than a Sound Card. It's your money. Spend it however you want.
