Which is exactly the reason why I love these (http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?category=spk_multimedia&item=c1pcwzzzz).

They we're $80 when I bought them 8 years ago. One of my speakers is finally showing its age so I'm buying another set just like it.

I also had a set like that sandman. mine were 4 speakers and a sub.   I loved that sub it would shake my pants when i had the think on the floor turned all the way up. Too bad a dog ate thru the wires  :(    now 8 years later the wife is buying me a surround sound system for my PC.  

She is making baby stepes!

I bought the same system with 3 speakers instead of 5. Very good sound.

the logitech 530's in 5.1 sound great.

can't beat the price.

the floor shaking with the base turned all the way up is just a bonus ;)
