havent seen many reviews but for the price of 1 of those you coud get 2x BA4800's and 1 herc GTXP and have a sweet 8.2 setup IMO >>
But what kind of standard is 8.2? that would just make your room more clutering, IMO.
I think 4.1 is good enough for a computer system. I bought monsoon mm2000 for $194 (shipping included), and that's more than enough.
5.1 is for home theather, and that belongs in the living room. You can get a nice speakers, reciever, DVD player combo for around $700 or less like
this one which is much cooler. makes your living room looks more style-ish. There are other brands that make this kind of cool package too, JVC, Pioneer and Panasomic r the first to comes into my mind.
