Better speakers
Just a tad more and you can get a pair of the logitech's excellent Z10's.I have had them for over a year and i am still blown away by how good they sound after all this time.

Quality speakers and headphones will get better after time. They need running in like a car, I've had a pair of Beyer DT770s for six years and they sound better than ever.

We need 9.1 of them and then we can play skittles too. So who uses one pair of speakers anymore?

EDIFIER 3350
I have never heard these but would heartily recommend my Edifier 3350's. They are elegant, have a subwoofer and despite "on paper" low wattage outputs, they pack a real punch from my Asus Xonar DX card. Who needs 3 million meters of spaeker wire round the room? Not me folks.
