Here's the challenge: I've got a PC, a GameCube, an Xbox, a DVD player, and potentially a PS2. I want to get a surround sound setup that will work with all of these things. I have done a small bit of reading, and I'm guessing I need to get a) speakers and b) an amplifier, although I'm not sure if the latter is completely necessary. The minimum setup I would like to have is 5.1, but if I could get 6.1 or 7.1 all the better. So I need recommendations on good 5.1/6.1/7.1 speakers, and good amplifiers to match. I would like my setup to work with most if not all of the audio standards (including Dolby Pro Logic 2 for my GC). Here's the potentially hard bit - my budget is limited. At a stretch I could maybe go to 500 for the lot, but I'd prefer to pay less if I could. The room I'll be using them in isn't huge (12'x14'), so the speakers don't have to be "blow-me-away" powerful, but I'd still like them to fill the room nicely.
Any tips and recommendations would be sincerely appreciated!
