I've got the Altec Lansing floor speakers, the subwoofer and the center channel speaker up and running and all sounds great. Loud and clear. In all honesty though, I probably wouldn't get any real benefits from having the 5.1 set up as it should be. I'm completely deaf on my right side, always have been, and have very bad positional audio capabilities. Try finding the cordless phone under the couch when you have no audio triangulation happening, I just spin in circles trying to hear where it is until it stops ringing and that's pretty much that. I miss a lot of calls.

Ah, well I have no idea. My 5.1 sounds really great in some games, though it can mess with me in RTW to hear the guys fighting behind me when my camera passes. It is great for shooters though. When I first got it I spent an hour playing games that supported it just to turn around and hear the noise from behind me.

Good luck with your speakers Beirut!
