Ok, I think I need to clarify myself here. First of all, $500 on computer speaker is excessive, but I did not pay $500. I bought one set of the Promedia's for my PC. I asked for the 2.1 set for xmas so I could listen to true 5.1 with a 6.2 set up. The person who was buying me that present said I could get the 4.1 set if I wanted to...I figured why not...so it's free. Second, a home stereo and speakers would do a better job, but I already have a full dolby digital system downstairs. These PM's are for my room and I really was not gonna drop a ton of cash for another component system upstairs. I do not agree that the cambridge DT2500 speakers are anywhere near the Klipsch speakers in performance and sound, and neither are any of the cambridge line of speakers, IMO. The room upstairs is fairly small and a larger component system is not really needed. I thought I would do something different for the room, and a multi PM set-up sounded like a good idea. Also, my Promedia's sound much better on my Philips AE than they ever did on my Live 5.1. Soooo, my point is that I am not dropping $500 on this project, just the $249 for my original set and another $60 or so for some nice 14 guage wire. Plus, it is a blast planning all the stuff like layout, how I will run the wires, how to set them up for optimal sound, etc. I think a setup of two sats as the center with sub, two sats with sub as the front channel in the front corners, two sats at the mid point of the room, wall mounted up high, and two final sats at the back corners of the room, wall mounted up high will make for a immersive gaming/DVD/music experience...I mean 800W RMS in a little room like mine...LOL. :Q
