Heh, at the price of 2 sets of 4.1's, ya might as well just get a nice HT setup. Myself, I'm spending about 750 USD (about 150 more than 2 sets of the 4.1's) to buy a HT setup, and although ya might not get an 8.2 setup, something along the lines of what I'm buying (5.1, each corner speaker with a 6" main, and a .75" tweeter, 12" sub, centre chan with dual 5 1/4" drivers and a 1" tweeter, and a pretty damn good reciever). If ya ARE considering spending cash for 2 4.1's, and want a better OVERALL setup, HT might be a better choice. The things ya have to consider if you're gonna buy 2 4.1's is that by using a Y cable, you're splitting the signal in 1/2, and unless you're using VERY high quality cable, there's gonna be a helluva lot of signal degredation. If you are, however, adament about going dual 4.1's, then as a sound card, I'd suggest the Philips Acoustic Edge, mainly cause it kix arse
