Speaking as a (rather purist) sound engineer, I'd say that's
sort of a contradiction. If the material you listen to was
produced for two speakers, then using more than two will
in general not deliver great sound. It will either completely
blurr the sound image you would have with two speakers, or
at best add some effect that was not intented by the creators
of the music.
It depends on your definition of 'great' of course.
I understand your point of view. However, the stereo sound on the
leftfront and rightfront of my speakerset only is terrible. No base, as
in no base at all. Just try to imagine what that does to 'a night in
tunesia' from Charlie Parker :(. With the emu10k1 card this was not a
problem, somehow how the sound got near perfect divided over all the
speakers and I was a happy listener.
I am not a soundengineer, therefor I do not spend 100's of euros on a
soundcard. So if the ca0106 card is that bad (winmodem yuk) is the
audigy SE better? that's a emu10k2 card?

The audigy SE is almost exactly the same as the SB Live 24bit. E.g. used
the same ca0106 chip.
Blame the Creative marketing people for this confusion.
Get something with "Audigy 2" or "Audigy 4" written on it if you want a
card that does DSP and hardware mixing.
