I am looking for a high end range of speakers to play from either my pc or tv as I watch mkv movies in 1080p with DTS. What speakers would you guys recommend and should I go for PC speakers or Home Threatre speakers?

I was looking at the Z5500 range as I would like to get DTS enabled speakers.
 
Yup I'll recommend the Logitech Z5500, mine doing a great job for movies and PS3 :) Just remember that if you wanna use the DTS and Dolby Digital etc, that requires you to connect it via the optical or coaxial cable (for obvious reasons)
 
I would go with a yamaha amp and 5.1 speaker set. They go for around R5000.

You know what I mean, I want to play DTS and DTS-HD. I guess that depends on the sound card as well.

I think all speakers can play DTS and DTS-HD. It only depends on the card.

Not so sure about that, I mean you're right in saying that its not like the audio isn't going to play but DTS and DTS-HD are digital signals so ideally your speakers need a digital input(optical/coaxial) which not all have...

All speakers are analogue anyway - it just depends where in the signal path it's converted from digital-to-analogue.

So all speakers can play DTS / DTS-HD - just some are better at it ...

The logitech Z5500 are digital speakers...
 
Do you hear the 1's and 0's ... ? ;)
 
The fact that they are 1's and 0's makes it digital enough for me :p And aren't we talking about the signal from the computer anyway and not actual sound waves? :)
 
lol ... 1's and 0's (digital) to a point ;)

I think 'digital speakers' is misleading ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_speakers

Modern speakers marked as 'digital' are always analogue speakers, in most cases driven by an analogue amplifier. The widespread use of the term 'digital' with speakers is a marketing ploy intended to lead some buyers to associate the product with the advantages of digital sound systems. If pressed, manufacturers may claim the term means the product is ready for input from digital players (a claim true of all speaker systems).
