Your better bet is to buy yourself a good set of headphones a small amp and a good soundcard. Headphones are far easier to make "good" No small speaker ( and I assume you are not going to be mounting 20 litre speakers near your computer) can do bass ( simple physics) and no 2 speakers can do 5.1 (not that I have any idea what the usefullness of 5.1 is). > > Does anyone have any experience with the bose companion 5?
