Looking for quality speakers for wife's PC
I have a set of Klipsch Promedia 4.1's for my main PC's sound setup running through an HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card. My wife has always envied the sound quality and I am looking to do something for her. Her current setup uses on-board sound from a Gigabyte GA-P67X-UD3-B3 and Edifier 2.1 speakers. The Edifier 2.1 is a great audio setup but not in the same league as my Promedia 4.1. I've been looking at a new Logitec Z906 speaker system as a possibility for her since you can't buy new 4.1 or 5.1 Klipsch anymore. Ebay lists a couple 5.1 Klipsch setups for sale, but I am concerned about ending up with abused or beat up gear. Has anyone heard the Z906 and is it comparable to Klipsch in sound quality? Is there any other 4.1-5.1 speaker setup I should also consider that wouldn't disappoint when compared to Klipsch? THX!

It may not be for her, but I'm considering getting one of these little Class T desktop amplifiers so I can drive any pair of stereo speakers I want. It opens up a whole world of possibilities if your main application is stereo music.
As you already know, HT Omega kicks ass, takes name, and goes loud. Put the 2.1's on the Striker, see how they sound before throwing good money after bad. Chances are the better investment is a proper sound card.
By which I mean: give her your Striker 7.1 for the Edifiers and use the money you just saved to buy yourself a Claro Halo XT.
