Speaker recommendations?
OK - I've decided it's time to update my PC speakers from the 2 poxy little things that sit beside my monitor. So what do you guys use? Any recommendations. Cost not so much of an issue - I'd rather pay decent money for something that sounds good and lasts a few years rather than go the cheap and cr@ppy route.

Also, what about Dobly* 5.1 or quad 4.1 setups? Do they work? How widespread is 4.1 or 5.1 sound in games?
Any help and suggestions much appreciated.

I say buy Klipsch. If that's too much the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 would be a nice bet @ $100USD
I don't have them, but heard nothing but good things about them. Logitech Z560. Some people I know have referred to them as the Klipsch killers. They said, they sound just as good as the klipsch. You can find them around the net for about $160-$180 shipped. There's usually deals on them somewhere on the net. Here's some reviews of them.

I have the Altec Lansing ACS54 set. Cheaper than most expensive solutions like Klipsch but great value and comes from a good manufacturer. Its a 4 speaker set with great bass and clean sound, and comes with sub woofer. You can read a review and others speakers at http://www.3dsoundsurge.com

Try out the Logitech Z-540's
$80 bucks 4.1 and killer sound no matter how loud you set them. Logitech bought Labtec and therefore all of their patents, so the z-540's employ the same technology as the Labtec pulse 424's (i have a set and they kick *** as well).
Go for the Z-540's, in my opinion they are the best speakers for the price on the market.
