If you had read my last post you would know that I just got new speakers (Monitors) and am wanting to use the old speakers as rear channel speakers.

So my plan is to connect my RP8 speakers as main output speakers and use my RP6 speakers connected to my two available monitor outs on my Digidesign 002 sound card. I have now been told that I would have to use the separate outputs on channel 5 and 6 and use the routing on cubase, but this won't work as surround when viewing Youtube videos and play back of files without Cubase, unless I change my cable configuration. I have found that to get a surround sound setup, I would have to buy a soundcard which would cost in excess of £3000. There is another option, that is to have cables running from my motherboard sound card to the outputs on my Digidesign 002 and have them running into the speakers.

The question is should I bother or sell my old KRK RP6's and just use the money to upgrade at a later date to decent Genelec speakers.
