For those who care, I went with the Klipsch. 360$ yikes

Bump... Speakers are coming tomorrow or Friday, and I've another question. I have room for the center speaker, front left, and front right speakers, and the subwoofer under my desk (somewhere) but I have no idea where I should put the rear sattelites. My desk is up against my one wall, and the other wall is like ten feet away. I can't afford the speaker stands (they're like seventy dollars) so is my wall close enough for the speakers to still be effective? FF, how does your roommate have his set up? And you yours? Anyone else?

No more headphones? Yipes! Put the satellites at ear level directly behind you and at equal seperation.

I'll tell you, but don't laugh: he has this high leather chair in front of his desk. He uses duct tape to stick the rear speakers to the chair, right next to the ears.

My setup is not complicated at all. I just spread the speakers on the desk on a semi-half circular pattern. It might not be optimal, but I use headphones mostly.

Sting: Hmm, that's doable, but like I said it's going to be pretty far away. How far away are yours?

FF: LOL, that is awesome. Not sure if I want to go that far though

Thats what I did with my speakers... Tape them to the side of the chair. I didn't want to have cords running accros the floor.
