[A&E software]

Software for this particular hardware. But if you don't want/need the 5.1 capability, QMSS is also available with the Philips Seismic Edge 4.1 board ($20 cheaper).

[Just hooked up....where's the midrange? Disappointed...]

Here's a question that always occurs to me when this topic comes up: has anyone tried setting up these kick-*** HT setups to a computer? Is it a waste of time, since (I assume) computers aren't designed to send the amount of information as a dedicated DVD player? How would such a setup work for positional audio in games? Would the $500+ "good" speaker setup Distec mentions be a viable multimedia option? Or would it be like buying a Ferrari for trips to 7-11: flashy but a waste of capability? Audio neophytes want to know.
