I have been spending countless hours trying to find out what is the best soundcard I can get for under $200 and the best speakers under $350 that can give me a high definition sound. I am going to use these exclusively for listening to classical music, that's why the quality is very important. I don't play games at all and couldn't care less.
I have been recommended E-MU 0404, E-MU 1212M, and M-Audio. After much deliberation, most people in most forums converge on M-Audio because E-MU has unnecessary features. So currently my choice is 5.1 M-Audio Revolution:

I was told that this forum can help me. I hope you can tell me if that card is the best I can get for the money and purpose.
Also, please recommend me some speakers. I don't want loudspeakers with amps etc, just great speakers considering the budget and the purpose of usage. Speakers like Yorkville are too expensive. Klipsch has great quality but it only lasts a year. I hope you can help me because I have been very frustrated with my arduous research that at times seems to not pay off at all.
My current speakers are 5.1 Logitech Z-5300. One of the best for gaming but piece of crap for classical. I was recommended to get these speakers about a year ago by the wrong people. I want to make sure that all my current information comes from knowledgeable audiophiles, not clueless gamers.
