And I putit to you that you're missing what I'm saying <smile>. Yep, you can use speakers for whatever you want but you get what you pay for so a $150.00 of surround-sound speakers may not be the best for music. I also stated - as have others - that if you're happy with what you ahve then fine! enjoy what you have but for the price you paid for your speakers - if you want music - then there are better alternatives.
