Logitech Z2300 2.1 Speakers

Looking at getting a set of speakers for my pc. Currently using my stereo which, unfortunately, is on it's last legs. :(

The above is the set I have got my eye on however I've never brought/kept up-to-date on the whole PC speaker market.

I could splash out on 5.1/7.1 but at the moment I can't see the benifits, not for me anyhow... (at current prices).

I first looked at the Abit iDome D500 but the pricetag was rather high for just a 2.1 system.

Reviews I have found on the above Logitech speakers are good but they were written back in 2004!!! :lol:

Ahh yes, what I'll be using it for. Mainly music and watching DVDs (not yet decided on venturing into Blu-ray/HD-DVD arena yet).

Oh and it'll be using the onboard sound (gah...I should buy a dedicated sound card...) on the FP-IN9 SLi (yes I know I shouldn't have been a scrooge and got the IP35 Pro :P ).

So basically, just any scare stories or warnings (such as wires provided are STUPIDLY short, EM interefence etc.), better recommendations (perhaps the pros for jumping into the 5.1/7.1 arena), or concurrence that this is a good buy.

PS I was (and suppose still am) a bass junkie/audiophile (in terms of low-end quality and not sheer volume, though alot of volume doesn't hurt :lol: )

Thanks in advance :)

If you are a bass junkie you would want the largest sized subwoofer you can get for a reasonable amount of money. The 5.1/7.1 systems will gererally have larger subwoofers as will slightly higher end 2.1 systems.

The Z2300 are a well balanced set, but it all depends on how much you want to spend?

Ahh yes, budget...forgot that bit.

Looking to spend £100 tops really. Unless someone shows me a high end 5.1/7.1 for around the £150 mark.

Acoustic Energy Aego M. Best £90 I have ever spent, though it will be hard to find reviews online. I do believe the won the which pc and mp3 speakers last year.

Well I went and got the Z2300. Very nice they are. Stuck some tunes through them and they seem to do the job.

There are a few minor points but it maybe due to the sound card/winamp playback rather than the speakers themselves. Still for sub £100 I can't complain, build quality seems good. :)

Lets see if I can up the bass enough to get my sound activated lights going again! :lol: (Along with upsetting the neighbours!!!)
