The verdict
The Z906 is the surround pick. The only true 5.1 system in this round-up — THX, Dolby Digital, and DTS certified, with optical and coaxial digital inputs for game consoles and media players. Setup commitment is real (6 boxes + cables), but for desktop surround gaming nothing else here competes.
