ok to answer some q's that have been asked.
price range - well i have a fairly high budget but since i don't game i was looking at £200-350 range.
will mainly be pc usage as i do use my tv for movies etc. just nice to hav the option.
i feel because i dont game that i dont need some kick ass speakers so was lookin at getting some 2.0s and an ipod dock or something that would combine the 2 to save space. i hav a 2.1 set now but gettin rid as i dont hav the space and the extra cables drive me mad.
i thought usb wud be nice so that i can connect the speakers and not hav cables everywhere i can hide them behind the monitor.
thanks again
