Gaming / watching movies are often best enjoyed when haveing 4/5/6/7.1 surround, while mixing nomrally takes place on a set of high quality stereo monitors.
There's a difference in the way they sound. Of course, you get a very rich and good sound from the monitors alone, but I wouldn't recommend monitors only for movies/gaming.

I had a 5.1 surround set before, and I miss watching movies with it. Playing Splinter Cell 3 got boring without surround. So, think through your purchase thurouglhy.

If you're VERY serious about music production, buy a set of monitors. If not, buy a good surround system. Logitech has a couple of nice ones.

i own the event tr6 monitors...you own monitors for Accuracy in sound. completely different purpose to high-fi systems...that being said, i've watched movies using them and they do sound great.

hows the bass on those tr6s man?

oh yeah how heavy are they too?

dont buy monitors!

monitors are giving sound accurate and hi-fi is giving sound nicely


i totally recommend 5.1 for movies and gaming.. i got my own 5.1 for movies and i enjoy it more than 2 way hifi's

You have to ask yourself weather you want entertainment or quality.
Are you serious about producing? You don't need monitors elsewise.
