You might get a better response on the Sound City forum.

Personally, I just don't see (hear?) the value of the c£150 5.1 sets over the c£50/60 5.1 sets such as my Logitech X530 (I believe that has now been superceded by the X540). They push out great sound for a normal sized study or bedroom where most home PCs reside. The sub doesn't distort unless you're at silly volumes. Perfect for the PC.
