    seems like good stuff, you can check out the logitech z5500D, i use them myself, they are amazing, optical and coax inputs as well, as far as the ceative speakers go, i have heard them before, not too bad, but i would pick the logitech over it.............. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836121120

    well i'm already using Logitech Z-5500 THX Certified 5.1 on my desk with 2x PCs and some Logitech THX 2.1's on the below sig (my gaming rig) and am looking to upgrade the 2.1's to atleast 5.1s.
    I would just swap them over but i remember seeing while setting up the z-5500's that the sub needs to be 60cms from a PC, and there's no way i could do that, not that it's 60cms from a PC atm! lol

    I used to have Megaworks 510 THX on my main pc for 2 years. Changed to Z5500 and didn't regret it since.

    Pretty descent system but why bother when there is 5500?


    Note that 510's are actually better that G550's.

    I personally can't stand most wireless speakers, but maybe they've gotten better since I last game them a chance. Be sure to remember though that while you can rate a speaker as THX, to have a THX system you'll also need a THX-rated cabling solution (which I assure you, air is not).
    Dual CCIE (Route\Switch and Security) at your disposal. Have a Cisco-related or other network question? My PM box is always open.

    - Cisco 3560X-24P PoE Switch
    - Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall
    - Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN Controller
    - Cisco 3502i Access Point
