Surround sound speakers

[mattsandersuk]

hello, is there anybody out there who has any of those cheap 5.1 surround sound speaker sets, they all look pretty similar but here is one of them:

theyre never going to be as good as £200 altec lansings but for the money am just wondering whether its worth it.

cheers

In a word, no.

It would be far better to buy some decent sounding 2.1s, it'll be much more rewarding in the long run. I have a proper (as in amp, 5dvd changer surround sound set at home - 600w) home cinema set, and the only things I have heard that have come close are the THX certified Logitechs.

how much do u suggest spending on a alright set bearing in mind i dont want to spend too much

how much is too much

[dave87]

Steve B has exemplified the audiophiles point of view quiet nicely

If its a 5.1 Set, then you could do a lot worse than this, that is if the budget stretches

Otherwise I would strongly suggest a decent 2.1 set - such as these or even these

Hope this helps,

Dave

Ebuyer are great until something goes awry - when I worked as a Network Admin last year, we were waiting 7 months for a replacement/refund from their customer service dept. regardless of how much chasing we did

Plus, if you make a few more constructive posts, the lovely chaps at Scan will give you free delivery
