Built in iMac speakers + iSub. It's alright. The sub is pretty weak, but it's better than no sub. Occasionally I'll hook the audio up to my headphone amp (Gilmore Dynamic) and listen through Sennheiser 580s.

I have the promedia system as well and it has served me very well for quite a while now (I bought the original a few years ago).
I've been tempted to get 4 M2i's and checking that out. If I pull the finances together I'll let you know how it sounds.

I've got a Yamaha system (2 speakers & sub) that's not half bad. Don't know the model, but I picked it up at CompUSA about three years ago.
M22ti mains, EP175 sub, VP150 center, QS4 surrounds

I use a Yamaha sub/2-sat system, as well. I think it's a YST-something model. I bought it in late 1997 or early 1998 and have never had the desire to upgrade. My computer is in one of those hutch type things that looks like a wardrobe when the doors are closed. Works great to keep little Steven's hands away from the equipment.

Recently I'd moved all my stereo gears to the office and have been using the M22ti, SVS PB1 sub, and HK 3480 on my computer, probably overkilled but they practically blow me out of the chair! ;-)

I notice that some people have their computers hooked into a receiver and Axiom speakers. Probably a dumb question, but how would I make this connection?

there's not susuch a thing as a dumb question!
You can do it in many ways. But here are two popular ones:
(1) Simple. Buy a splitter connector that has mini-stereo plug in one end (to connect it to your heaphones jack in the computer) and RCA jacks at the other end. the RCA jacks will go to one of your receiver inputs and obviously this connection will give you an analog signal.
(2) More expensive. You can buy a sound card for your PC/Laptop with digital outputs for sound and then connect it to your receiver using either the coaxial or the optical connectors. This will give you a higher quality digital connection that will be as good as the music source.
Hope this helps!
Don't die wondering...

I forgot to mention in my original post that I also just purchased an Apple Airport Express network so will soon be able to stream my digital audio files all over the house to my stereo/home theater systems. I will post my thoughts when it is all set up.
