    Best Speakers for up to £40

    What's the best speaker set you can get for around £40 or less. I don't mind if there 2.1 or 5.1 just whatever gives me the best sound quality, i mainly listen to music so that's the man focus with some gaming.
    Thanks
    Alex.

    Logitech X-530's are around that price range and are a decent 5.1 offering.

    A 2.0 set is probably best for music by some way, but £40 is right inbetween some good choices - the altec lansing MX5020 are ~£35 and very good IMO, but Creative Gigaworks or Philips MMS321 at around £50 are also supposed to be good.

    I bought a set of these a few weeks back just so i could watch TV without the headphones. Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

    For £20ish i was astonished how good the sound actually is.
