PC Speaker Talk
Need some opinions on this: I have always debated whether or not 4. 1 or 5. 1. or 6. 1 and even 7. 1 speakers are worth setting up or not. My desktop space is limited and my current 4. 1 setup is awful, its the Altec Lansing ACS54 4.

I just recently got a Sound Blaster Audigy 2, which can support 6.1 audio, but my current 4 speaker setup is limited as is my desk space, I have all 4 speakers set up in front of me, which makes rear sound pretty useless, I have been thinking of buying a powerful 2.1 setup with high wattage, ie. 140 watts or so...what do you guys think on this?

Yeah I guess its in the wrong forum...but yeah I do like music and audio and consider myself an enthusiast, but I have no space to setup a good 5.1 system or something, I can't put speakers behind me which makes the point of 5.1 useless, my current 4.1 setup looks like this:
Rear>>>>Front>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Front>>>>>Rear
Left>>>>Left>>>>>>>>>>Monitor>>>>>>>Right>>>>>Right
Its completely awful but I got no room behind me since I have a bed there, and I want something with high watts so I can every small detail. I hooked my PC up to my Sharp Mini System that has 100 watt speakers and man did it ever sound sweet, but to move the system is too much of a hassle and they aren't shieled either so the monitor was looking funny. Lol.
