The Bottom Line	The relatively affordable Creative GigaWorks ProGamer G500 5.1-channel multimedia speaker system delivers excellent performance across the board. We only wish it had a digital audio input.	A versatile set of high-end 5.1 speakers, Logitech's newest flagship will handle with near-perfect quality as many audio sources as you can throw at it.	If you're looking for a set of 2.1 speakers, buy these. It's as simple as that.	If you're looking to add straightforward surround sound to your PC, Logitech's Z-5300e 5.1 speaker set delivers respectable but unexceptional performance for a reasonable price.	If you're willing to spend some cash, this THX-certified 5.1-channel multimedia speaker system is an excellent choice.
