hi all
i want to buy some 5.1 speakers. ideally i dont want to spend a fortune but also i dont want waste money buying cheapies only to have to buy some better ones. ive learnt my lesson doing that to many times in the past. £50-£6 is what i had in mind price wise. can a good set be had for that kind of money? if so whats the best make to opt for.
cheers all.
well 50-60 quid is not much for a 5.1 set..
have a look at logitechs range, such as the Z-540's
also have you considered a good strong 2.1? like the Z-2300?
Stretch your budget and go for a set of Logitech G80s:

And here's a review:

it did look G80`s before but held off because of the amount id spent on the rig, but i think i shall have to scrape up the extra and get a set of those. its pointless buying a cheap set i guess.
im now on my 3rd set of headphones over this same kind of scenario.
many thanks for the replies.

Sorry it's supposed to be G51s lol
edit: Was the G80 a set of speakers as well?
I bought my son a set of Logitech X-530 (£36.99 / £43.46) a couple of years back, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the sound quality, for such low-mid end speakers :cool:
Dont forget also, logitech are blumin excellent with warranty if your gear ever goes faulty so you will also have peace of mind :)
You can get them less than that easy...Quote:

I think they're a great set of speakers, the bases are a little rickety but the sound's good.
Don't be fooled by the price...I got the OEM ones and they're great!
(and won't burn a whole in your pocket)
btw...when you install them, make sure to up mix...otherwise they'll be stuck in 2.1 mode, lol.
