More speakers never hurt, of course, and you can setup your speaker configuration in software to best suit your personal likes.

5.1 or 6.1 would probably be a bit of a waste-though you might find out that the speakers you like best only come in 5.1 or 6.1 sets. That's just my opinion, though.your mileage may vary. Now, if ALL you're doing is listening to music, 2.1 is okay, though I personally prefer at least 4.1, which I think provides fuller and more encompassing sound.

Newer speakers are coming with DTS remotes and other home theater options. It is also nice for DVD's, since you can enable surround sound like in a home theater. This gives your computer the ability to provide dynamic, realtime 3D positional sound. Obviously, the systems with sattelites are ideal for games, especially when using a sound card that supports EAX or A3D standards.

There are certain things I never buy based on hardware site reviews: monitors, speakers, joysticks, mice, keyboards-pretty much anything that gives any sort of sensory feedback. You may even find that a less expensive set sounds better to you than a more expensive set.

I have an older Antec 4.1 set, and I like it, though I am thinking of upgrading to a newer 5.1 set. One person doesn't always prefer the same qualities as another person.

As far as sound-quality is concerned, you really should try to find someplace that sells the assorted speakers so you can do your own side-by-side comparison.
