Movie Freak

I'm no expert but I read a TON of reviews and the Cruz is not a top notch sound card, the best bang fer buck so far, that I've seen is the SB Live series. I use it with my 4.1 pro media set and I'm having a blast! SB Live has an excellent history and is a very stable card with excellent drivers. But only YOUR ears can make up your mind for you! ------------------ Movies take us to a place we would like to be and away from a place we would like to forget.

I'm curious as to why you would need the extra sub? I have the 4.1 system and have to turn down the sub for most applications! I would rather have another sat for a center channel for 5.1, but that isn't possible with the pro media yet, but who knows what those wonderful Klipsch engineers are up to!
