maybe frontechs are pseudo but altec lansings definately are discrete....
no 2 doubts about that.... i myself use altec lansing ATP5 (4.1) and i'm satisfied with the surround, specially in the games, well as far as movies are concern, they sound good only in 5.1 setup, and i dont watch movies on my computer anyway..
go for altec lansing or creative without giving any second thoughts....
Enjoy
