You can pick up a pair of floorstanding speakers from Richersound for less than £100.

S750 is a very good speaker to go with your PC provided you don't introduce any additional devices to the speaker system. If you want to share your new speaker with other entertainment devices, I suggest you get a DDTS-100 or any standalone AV system.

sharp, I don't quite understand what you are trying to do actually. You should connect all three 1/8" jack to the s750, it comes with cable with 3x1/8" (to the soundcard) and 4x1/8" on the other end (to s750). Where are you going to plug your red/white rca? You said you gonna get a splitter...

I don't remember sound card has coaxial/optical in, at least not for the cheap oem creative sound card that I have got. Where are you going to connect the red / white cable to? The sound card Analogue Line in? The red/white RCA don't carry multichannel, I suppose you already knew that...

I am a Gigaworks owner, I can assure you that the s750 is powerful enough to blow your wall apart. With such a small room, do you really need 700W speaker system? You may be able to grab a speaker system completed with the AV receiver for less if you visit Richersounds or visit their website...

Cambridge Audio Azur 640R has good ratings, but can cost quite a bit. If you are on budget, the Sony is a steal. AV is the hub to the entire audio system, so, best not to try cut corner on the AV.

Rating for gigaworks amp? The subwoofer does 210W, while 70W for 7 of the speakers, making it a 700W speaker system. It definitely definitely can't do 700W because apparently the Creative Engineer cannot do their maths, they equip the power cable with 3A fuse or whatever 5A fuse for US model...

My recommendation to you is, go for neither of them. Why? Because they are crap and in no way a match for an audio system hooked to an amplifier system. With more or less the same amount of budget, you can buy yourself a decent amplifier unit and depending on whether you want to annoy your...
