He said "speakers", sounds to me like he just wants a couple of cheap speakers for sound, not some great Bose setup

I might be wrong though

the sub properly kicks arse but you need to hide it away and make sure the speakers are at ear level or else they get a bit faint

The ones i posted will be fine then for a 2.1 setup.

Ive got the 5.1 versions, (x530) 5 speakers and slightly bigger sub than the 2.1 versions and this is great, LOADS of bass, even better when you have a decent soundcard

I like them, what is the difference between 5.1 compared to 6.1 or 7.1?

End of the day thats as good a card you can get until they bring out something better, only thing you miss with the xtreme audio is EAX in games which doesnt do hardly anything(ive used a card with EAX) no difference
