Ah, like I said they are a virtual surround system. What that means is they pretend to do surround sound but they don't really do it since it's just a pare of stereo speakers and a sub. You don't really have all the 5 satelites you hang off the walls and stuff. Which is what I would prefer. That's what I call a "real" surround sound system. Something like what Dain has. Something like the stuff he's been talking about lately on the list. Thing is, finding one that is cheep, and at the same time is good. So yeah, that's what I meant.
