the creative s750 doesnt quite pair with xfi? why change to z5500? lol...
cos i am quite interested to pair some 5.1 to my xfi to utilize its power. haha...

Well the S750 have some known reliability issues, in which the amp will blow up after a year or so but depends, it can be months or it won't blow up at all. Mine blew up exactly a year and a week after i bought it. shakehead.gif I can't really have it repaired because i'm nowhere near KL, so i borrowed my bro-in-law's speaker for a while until now. Using this Z-5500 for a week already, i think it's as good as the S750, maybe the satellite lack a tweeter but i can't really differentiate the difference. The bass is not boomy at all. And 5.1 is quite enough in my room, 7.1 is too messy and cramped. rclxub.gif

Oh and the Z-5500 will auto off if it overheats (which i never faced yet). sweat.gif Good safety feature i must say.

It really depends on your budget,the more you're willing to spend the higher the upgrade.However the Creative cards are gaming cards at core, though they also good for movies.If you hardly game at all then you might not need to upgrade after all.You can look for alternative cards too.If you got dough to spend get the X-Fi icon_rolleyes.gif

emu0404 pair with aego? try to ask yuheng.. before this i thought they are nice pair, but yuheng had tried it out, and it doesn't sound nice.. maybe u can ask him for more info, and again, sound is very subjective smile.gif

and emu0404 is only for stereo / 2.1, it doesn't support 5.1 speaker like your z5500, correct me if im wrong..

btw, new user of x-fi xtrememusic user reporting in (had been using it for around 1month) rclxms.gif
