Speakers :)

[apollos]

K, used the search feature and found nothing relevant on the first page so please don't spank me for asking a question that might have been asked before


I currently have a Creative 5.1 setup, 5watt sattelites, and 25watt subwoofer, but it lacks balls, distorts when I turn it up too much, and generally it doesn't give the best sound... even with EAX 4.0 enabled.. it's good but no good enough.

14 feet x 10.5 feet (4.3m x 3.2m) is the size of my room.

I was wondering, I need recommendations for some quality speakers, preferably wooden cased, I remember my old ones were nice, big and wooden, and they had quite a bit of power to them. I was wondering if 4 speakers, one in each corner of my room is good enough, or whether I need 4.1, for a subwoofer to give me some richer bass?

Do I really need anything over a couple hundred watts? Any specifics technically I should be looking for, I really want a system that gives rich and accurate sound, and I need an amplifier right, if I want to connect my TV and my PC to my speakers, and maybe something else like a hi-fi system if I buy one.

Thank you all
