My perception is 5.1 speakers (RM250-400) ones are meant for movie watching, not specially for instrumental music.
Since it's for laptop, I'll suggest Creative T40. You can demo it in All IT Hypermart in LYP.

5.1 is for movies / dvds encoded with DD or DTS. I don't see the point listen to music in surround format, it will just spoild the stereo image. Music is for stereo format only, means two channel with or without sub.
totally agree with the two experts. 5.1 for movies, not music. 2.1 for music better. even if u went to orchestra, u'll be sitting in front of them, not among them or right in the middle of the stage right? besides, it's for laptop right? not easy to move around a 5.1 set, compared to 2.1.
