Sorry, this is gonna get a bit long. We need to see a drop with options for AV receiver, sub, and 5-channel bookshelf speakers, a sort of choose your configuration drop.
Home theater buffs know they need good sound, but a lot of gaming enthusiasts are short-changing themselves on sound.
There are lots of 5.1 "computer" speaker systems out there that sound pretty decent, but I already have a pretty pretty good receiver and a very nice subwoofer, so I just need main, center, and rear channel speakers that won't take up a lot of space but will far outstrip off-the-shelf, all-in-one systems. Other Massdrop denizens might have speakers and need a receiver, or maybe just a decent sub. Being able to choose the pieces we need would be awesome.
I've seen a lot of high-end gaming PC builds on line, and not one has been decked out with what I would call really good audio. Reviewers talk about the audio capabilities of motherboards, but they rarely talk about what to do with that high quality audio output. It's a shame! As is the case with movies, sound can make the game. Purpose marketed computer speaker systems are convenient to set up and use, but they just don't have it where it counts.
