The best 5.1 speakers would be the Klipsch 5.1s...but they run for about $399. I've heard of some other companies that make pretty good speakers in general: Boston Acoustics, Logitech, and of course Klipsch. I'm not sure if Boston Acoustics and Logitech make 5.1 speakers, but their 4.1 speakers are pretty good, maybe you might want to look into those. Hope this helps.

BTW: Welcome!

after doing research on the net and in the forums I finally bought the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 speakers. I am very happy with them so far, have watched a movie and played songs on them.
For my room, which is not all that big and my purpose I absolutely love them. They run $100 and they are supposedly the best bang for your buck as far as cheap surround goes. Check out this comprehensive review on the speakers at tweakmonkey's place. The audigy stuff you can just skip...
