    New 2.1 Speakers

    I'm looking for a new set of 2.1 speakers for my desktop (games/music/films).

    I've seen the usual creative/logitech stuff but not alot else that catches my eye.

    I've not really followed audio much recently so any recommendation for £30-40?

    If you can find them, Asda were doing the JBL 2.1 Creature II speakers for £25 but they haven't had them since. They seem to pop up online for around £40 now but for the money they are decent speakers Might find the treble on them is a little to high but a bit of tweaking you can sort that easily Good speakers for the money.

    Cool I'll keep an eye out for them . Seem to be hard to come buy after initially searching for them.

    This.

    I have used these speakers for some time now and give the best bang (or boom) for your money. I cannot fault these speakers and being JBL you know they will be good.

    I personally cannot recommend Creature II's enough. (plus the sub looks like Darth Vader's crash helmet!)

    Kras.
