Speakers: TDL RTL3's + some random old speakers for surrounds, Celestion Centre, and a 120w Eltax iirc sub that doesnt drop as low as the TDL's (no surprise there).

Cables: Monitor Power Cable (thats what it says & Made in Germany) 4mm, and a few metres of other random speaker cable to feed the surrounds, a bog standard coaxial for digital out from pc.
Soundcard: Onboard, may be changing**
Others: Marantz 6.1ch Amp + an Arcam Alpha 2ch that gets hooked up now n then.

** depending on whether i get evidence that coaxial from a soundcard is better than from onboard coaxial.
