Creative) deliver a good movie surround sound experience? I have a 32" LCD TV and I was thinking about getting a 5.1 system (logitech or creative) to get surround sound for movies. However, I don't want to go all out for a high powered home theatre system from Onkyo or Sony or something. $59.99-$99.99 for a simple 5.1 system sounds more palatable to me than $199+. And since I don't have a big place, I don't need the huge speakers. However, do the computer speakers deliver a credible surround sound experience?

Yes they do. We have a Kennwood 5.1. Recently we bought a new system with a 7.1 and returned it because the 5.1 sounded way better. And also the movies are done in Digital Dolby 5.1.

If you're viewing a $200 sound system as good sounding, then yes go with Creative or Logitech. For the rest of you out there you can get into a barely acceptable HT for $1,000. You can start to get decent sound for $3K. If you really want to bother the neighbors budget at least 10k.

Hi!I will try to provide as unbiased and honest an answer as possible...If you want an all in 1 solution on a lower budget, then Logictech or Creative are good options... They are designed for game playback though, and as a result, will be "boomy" or more thunderous than a component audio system would offer. Seeing as you spent a good amount of money on your TV (LCD's aren't "cheap") why not do your TV (and your ears) a favor, and live with the TV speakers for a few extra weeks until you can save ~$500 for a good quality home theater in a box (htib) solution from someone like Panasonic or even Sony. Trust me, the sound will be much more commensurate to audio/video watching/listening than a computer sound system would be. I relate those computer sound systems to Bose in terms of audio performance (this is NOT a good thing!) for home theater environments... BOOM without much emotion... Find it in yourself to save some extra dough and buy a system dedicated to a living/bed room environment and you will be much more satisfied with the overall listening arrangement!http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/sto...pxrequires audio receiver and sub (purchased separately)http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/_3Cwbr%2...videoTrust me, these will much better support your audio/video jones!
