speaker set up - help needed.

[nebs]

hi, im thinking about getting the Logitech Z-5500 for a new computer, however reading a few posts on this forum it is clear that most of you think that hi-fi speakers are better... im not saying everyone feels this way, just the majority.

so, is it possible to get a decent sound system that i can use on a PC (using the onboard sound that comes with a sn25p shuttle? - i will get a decent x-fi sound card when they have pci-e models out)

if it is would it be any good for playing games, movies and music? or would i be better off with the 5500s? if so could anyone recommend the items that i should look for - maybe off ebay etc. by budget would be the same price as the 5500s so around £200

Tape player - 2 tape decks with Dolby noise reduction, auto search, deck to deck recording

Sound Processer -

Choose from stereo, super surround, Dolby Pro Logic surround
Add multiple "virtual speakers"
Room position - tell the unit where in the room you're sitting and it adjusts the sound for optimum performance for that location
3D space sound, adjustable via joystick
Multi-jog dial for various preset sounds such as classical, rock etc
Amplifier - Class H+ amplifier which pushes out 360 watts. Sub woofers for thumping bass sounds

nebs you've got to decide and tell us exactly what you want, where it's going and what it's going to be used for etc... otherwise we're all just taking wild stabs in the dark here.

thanks for the help so far.

i wil be getting a new room in about 1-2 months and i want to get it sorted before then.

the room is medium sized so i shouldnt have a problem with 5.1 sound, howover if its out of my price range then im not going to be able to get them.

i will be using the system for games, music and films, im still undecided if i should go for hi-fi or just get some pc speakers, logitech 5500s
