5.1 speakers

[M00SE]

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:

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

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...
I use these:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125087 (OEM)
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/119065 (Boxed)

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.
