As some I here whom respect have noted there are 1-way (plus the sub) logitechs PC speakers that blow away every HTIB they've ever heard. I used these 2-way-plus sub computer speakers for years, and also used the clone Quintet II sats as surrounds on my main system until I could afford better. They seriously blow away every home theater in a box that I've ever heard. Audiophile quality? Heck no, but for the dollars, and with a good sub they will get you started as surrounds, and when paired with a good sub make for a darrn fine starter bedroom system until you can afford better.
