Which of these speakers would be the best to buy?
Creative Labs MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 (£179) or
Logitech Z680 speakers__(£220)
Why is the logotech set more expensive?

I have an M-Audio Sonica USB to Optical sound card (external).

Any suggestions / comments / warnings will be appreciated!!

I don't think the Creative's have Dolby® Digital & DTS® Hardware Decoding built-in like the Logitech's do. I have the z 5300's connected to a Sonica Theater and they sound fine to me. I'm not to worried about the Dolby stuff on my computer, it works as a DVD player in a pinch but for real viewing I use a tv.
Intel iMac 1.8
Logitech Mx 7000
Firewave
Logitech z-5300 5.1
