Ok I have finally decided I'm fed up with the 4.1 system I've got and would like to move up to 5.1. Unfortunately I'm on a very tight budget (I'm a student see) and can budget a maximum of £200 (about $300) for the upgrade.
Here are my options I can think of please tell me what you think..
1) Replace my live! 1024 with a 5.1 Live! and buy new 5.1 computer speakers (probably cambridge soundworks) speakers.
2) Use existing sound card and buy cheap dolby decoder and speakers and use spdif (can I do this with that budget? and would I be able to get gaming sound?)
3) Replace soundcard and buy a new centre speaker (sound on the centre channel would then not be routed through the sub).
I am tending towards the computer speaker soloution because I could then use DTS decoding in winDVD, but I wouldn't ask if I didn't want help..
Any other options or suggestions would be useful. Thanks,
Martin
