Gamers are starting to dominate the market for PC buying power and they aren’t buying the cheap stuff; serious enthusiasts and PC Gamers always want the best of the best and they are willing to pay handsomely for it this makes the PC Gaming world and extremely competitive market. Not only is it incredibly difficult to compete it is also extremely difficult to break into. Blu Tiger is a relatively new comer to the PC Speaker market and their flagship product the Blu Tiger Computer and Gaming 5.1 Speakers is an impressive step in the right direction to gaining ground with gamers. The use of MDF as opposed to plastic is a major plus in my opinion and the shear wattage potential from these is something to definitely pique my interest. Let’s get a closer look:

 Gaming:

Because I already went through the ins and outs of channels I will just jump into the testing for this section. On PC thriller FPS were extremely creepy and the ambiance of the game shined through way better then my previous creative 5.1 setup. I have to say MDF as a speaker media drastically improves the feel of sound and is a lot more immersive for the person gaming then plastic speakers. For 360 with DSP mode enabled it gave a great feel for racing games you could easily tell where from and which side a competitor was trying to pass you. Again the DSP mode made up for the lack of individual signals by emulating the surround sound effect impressively. Overall I give the complete gaming experience a:

9/10

Music:

Although the rest of the testing was impressive music is somewhere most 5.1 speakers lose their oomph. I am a strong believer in Hi-Fi and 5.1 speakers cannot compete with a decent Hi-Fi system when it comes to music. That being said I will say the Blu Tigers had no issue competing with other 5.1 systems I have owned. I have used systems from Kliptch, Logitech, and Creative and none of them have the same feel as the Blu Tigers even though they do use MDF as well in their design they all used metallic stands which were supposed to reduce the vibrations factor of the speakers but in so doing they lost something in the warmth of the sound.

By taking the advice of the owner of Blu Tiger and turning all of the speakers up in dsp mode and slowly turning down the center and sub speakers it did emulate a concert style effect which was quite impressive that I haven’t really experiences in the past except from very high end systems from LSA Group or Swan of course they didn’t have the same power as these speakers at lower settings they were quite comparable. So for Music I give them a:
