Greetings all, first post here, hope you can help.
I've just bought a new PC with surround sound 5.1 / 7.1 and co-ax/optical SPDIF output.
I've also got a defunct Sony home cinema system with the speakers still functional.
My question is whether I am better off buying a 5.1 / 7.1 set of speakers for my new PC or getting a surround sound amp and reusing my old speakers.
If I went for the amp, what inputs/cables do i need to look for and are there any potential pitfalls.
I've also got an even older (about 7-8 years) 5.1 home cinema system in the loft somewhere which worked last time I looked, but not sure what inputs it has.
Budget would be quite modest (under £50) so need the best solution for least outlay!
Any advice gratefully received.
