Which 5.1 Speakers for TV?

[Platinum]

Been looking at the Logitech Z-5500's but wondered if there's anything newer?
Space is tight in my room so looking for small speakers but powerful.
Want to connect to my media PC and Xbox, so HDMI inputs would be nice but would take a optical input if needed.
Will be playing Blu Ray movies through the media PC so would like to have support for all the new audio formats Blu Ray supports.
Would I need a new sound card in the media PC for this or would it pass through to the speakers for them to decode?

Cheers

You would need a new sound card and to play the Dolby/DTS HD formats and i think im right in saying your going to need an A/V reciever which supports these so your looking at £200-300 for that alone. However these reciever support every format you need and will let you run HDMI PCM audio through them as well.

Tbh seems a good piece of kit and supports a bevy of inputs including audio over HDMI and main sound formats including DTS & Dolby HD sound.
