hello list, i might (with emphasis on the conditional) get some external funding for buying an 8-channel audio system for our school of music. i need some recommendations on: 1) the best audio card (with linux support, of course) we could get in the us$ 800-1200 price range. 2) good active speakers in the us$1000-1500 price range each. (do some speakers work better than others when put together in an octophonic set? i have no idea) i'd really appreciate if someone could share experiences and recommendations on this subject. best, lj
