Totally agree with you on that, although the gigaworks is pretty good. I don't really trust creative when it comes to accuracy of spec though, their marketing team seems to have "creative" ways of making up spec.

I'm sort of considering getting an audigy 2 value since the price has dropped quite a bit lately. Any of you have experience with that?

If u don't wanna spend 3~400 bucks on speakers....u can also look on Logitech Z-680, since it is replaced by the z5500, the price is quite low now and the sound is awesome.

7.1 from creative are pretty good, go for 7.1

Go for the Klipsch ... Logitech is good at mouses , Creative at soundcards , Klipsch and Altec Lansing do make speakers , by far the best

probably at bit late here but heres my penith worth...

I would personally go for the 5.1 the reason being hardly anyone is making stuff to broadcast 7.1 at the moment a handfull of dvds max..

The extra cost for 7.1 at present, really isnt worth the money.

as for 5.1 systems the company i work for do a pretty good systems just amp and speakers mainly though.

that is a good idea cus if you get some really great headphones they sound amazing, i have a set of Bose Quiet Comforts and they have plenty of bass and toy cant hear anything but whats coming out of them, but i also have a set of logitech Z680 and it is exrtemely good too i think jabba has a set also
