The speakers are really good when combined with everything else i.e. the sub woofer and the lights / fans from the Premium kit. Ive got a Creative 7.1 Surround system but that is currently sat in a box in favour of the Philips amBX Premium kit as the sound quality is the same (just not as many locations obviously as no satellites) and because of all the added extras the amBX kit gives you. It's great for playing music, I can make my own mini disco with the lights lol, and some of the new games titles really utilise it and add to the experience.

System Specs

Currently got a Creative Audigy ZS connected to the amBX Premium Kit. Loaded up CoD4 straight away and was blown away at how the kit adds another dimension to playing games. It makes every gun fire, chopper flight, jungle/city combats feel so real. You have to try it to feel how it takes games to another level. Definitely worth buying if you are a gaming enthusiast like myself

I'd suggest getting the premium kit from Play.com!
