>> And to all of you: go and buy some decent speakers for your pc << -Gustav IIRC, a review of the 2.1 Logitech Z-2200 (~$150 USD, THX certified if that interests you) indicated that the components are virtually identical to their top of the line 5.1 system Logitech Z-680. Since I mainly utilize headphones when using my PC, I didn't have the need for a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 system and can personally say that I haven't regretted purchasing the Logitech Z-2200 set. In fact, I like them so much I am considering replacing my current home entertainment speakers with the Logitech Z-680. Although it was a fluke when it happened, I was convinced after hearing the difference that the Logitech subwoofer made. I had been watching TV when my daughters came in and wanted control to watch a DVD. I moved my viewing to the PC. When my daughters left the room, they left the TV tuned to the same channel I was watching previously. Before switching back to the TV, I accidentally unplugged my headphones, which let the 2.1 Logitech Z-2200 do their thing. I was startled at the difference. I hadn't realized just how "out-of-date" my current setup was. Anyway, enough rambling, there are plenty of brands and opinions out there, just thought I'd share mine;) Mark <snip>
