I’m interesting in the Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and I have heard great things about it. I have two questions for those of you out there who own one. I would like to know when you purchased it whether or not you got a Live! Drive with it or not? and I would like to know if any of yall have purchased the DeskTop Theater™ 5.1 DTT3500 Digital surround sound speakers by cambridge soundworks that is supposed to accompany that sound card very well. I would really appreciate any info that yall have to say on the subject.

Thanks,

Omega007

I have one! It rocks with my system!! Didn’t get the LiveDrive with it, or purchase the DeskTop Theater™ 5.1 DTT3500 Digital surround sound speakers by cambridge soundworks… (wasn’t offered either, but then, I’m in Korea, so things my be different here…).

But the card itself rocks!
