As a corrolary, how about a high quality 2-speaker audio card? I just don't have the space for a woofer. (I don't see where CL sells the SB Live! and Value anymore. The lowest on the scale are the "16 PCI" and the "PCI 512". With the PCI 512, how much would I lose by playing MP3s and watching movies in 2-channel mode? Also, the computer is ~10 feet from the KB & monitor. Can I find an "extension cord" at, for ex., Radio Shack? Or will the distance degrade the sound?
