logitech Z-560
are just AWESOME !!!
they are 4.1 speakers with 188W subwoofer and 4x53 sats
again the power of this system is just awesome ... and hell I payed 110€ for that
or if ya want to spend some more money you can got for z-680 which is basically the same but 62 W sats + 69W center and digital input
but it does cost ~300€
btw if ya got an audigy or equal soundcard you don't need 5.1 - 4.1 is fully enough since the card does emulate the 5th speaker perfectly ... hey I had a 5.1 system before I switched to the z-560 just google around and read the various reviews ... you won't find any negative one
again this sound system is just
A W E S O M E

This is a rather subjective topic but I'll add my 2 cents worth ---
I have two sets of speakers connected to my PC. They are -
1. Monsoon MM2000 (4.1 speakers)
2. Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
Total output is somewhere around 500 watts.
I have the Monsoon speakers configured to provide center channel and rear (ambient) sound reproduction. The Klipsch speakers provide front left and right sound reproduction and the whole setup is driven by an Audigy 1 sound card fueled by the Audigy ZS drivers.
With dual subwoofers, the bass response tends to be, shall we say, significant and to help quell some of the boomy behavior of having dual subs, I wired the speaker in the Klipsch subwoofer enclosure out of phase with the one in the Monsoon subwoofer. Why?
When you've got 2 subwoofers wired in phase, the total bass output tends to be over-powering (to say the least) and can wash out the sound from the main speakers (front/center and rears). When you wire the subs out of phase, you get a much flatter response but wherever there are holes in the bass frequency response of one subwoofer, the other sub tends to fill in those gaps. Judicious use of an equalizer and a sound pressure level meter helps flatten the response as well (the ZS drivers come with a fair equalizer but primarily I use EQStudio).
I chose this combination of speakers for a couple of reasons. I wanted very flat and crisp sounding speakers for center channel reproduction (primarily for dialog in movies containing Dolby 5.1 encoded soundtracks) and the Monsoon speakers fill that role nicely. I also wanted powerful speakers for rock music and gaming and the Klipsch are a good choice there. Together I get excellent movie sound (good dialog reproduction) as well as special effects sound for games and movies (dual subwoofers helps a lot), which is really the best of all possible worlds.
Is all this over-kill? You bet! But, I like the sound and I can rattle the tools hanging on the wall in my garage. Just what I wanted!

I have two different versions of the Cambridge SoundWorks.
One being the FPS2000 Digital FourPoint on a SoundBlaster Live Platinum card on one system and the other being the DTT3500 Digital 5.1 on this one with the built in SoundStorm on my A7N8X Deluxe mobo and both are definately awesome... Both were around 200 bucks during their height...
Of course at this point I wouldn't ever buy a speaker system again because I've gone to using Headsets because you don't wake the neighbors or the rest of the family and the sound quality with a good headset is awesome, plus the mic helps out with that online gaming for voice chat... LOL.
Besides how much can you really hear anyway??? Stereo or 5.1 Surround Headset is more than enough with built in mic - 30 bucks...
4.1 Speaker System 200+ Dollars inlcuding Sound Card
5.1 Speaker System 200+ Dollars Built in Sound on Mobo
Stereo Headset with mic 30 bucks
Hearing everything around you in the jungle while playin BFV - enemy footsteps approaching, crickets, explosions and yelling at your buddy with the mic to help out!!! PRICELESS...
