Z-560 M3D watery sound

I just bought the Z-560 speakers and am pleased so far with the quality. I haven't installed my Audigy card yet so i can't say how well they sound with a card that can do more than 2 channels. 😉 So i have been messing around with the M3D, i know its not anywhere near a real 4.1 card, but i figured the sound should at least be fairly clean. When i play music, i don't think it happens in games, the rear speakers sound all watery. Now with a 2 channel card and without M3D the sound only plays on the front speakers. No mirroring onto the rear ones, which seems like it would be nice, maybe Logitech figures with the M3D no one would do that.

But my question is this, has anyone else experienced this? I don't think that there's a problem with my speakers, i just want to know if anyone else has noticed this.

And just to prevent people telling me that they are worthless without a card that can do a least 4.1 channels, im planning on installing my Audigy soon.
 
yea the back speakers are supposed to sound funky, that's why it only sounds good when you have your system faded right
 
When you play music, are you using high quality material near lossless such as MPC formats or lossless (see also original CDs)? The watery sound is most likely the manifestation of the neatly masked artifacts caused by transform encoding (MP3s, OGG, WMA, etc.). Unfortunately, M3D is no good for using with music in lossy compression.
