Those tiny (and usually tinny) speakers don't interest me. The soundcard in my main
desktop feeds into a Technics digital receiver that powers a pair of floor-standing
speakers (old Wharfedales), a center channel speaker mounted in the back top of the
desk kneehole and 2 surround speakers. That setup does a great job on audio
including CDs, DVD movies and TV.
