    Re: good 2.1 speakers?

    Ok, my dad said hell pay for the Z4's as he couldnt get one of my presents . Is there anything better than the Z4 at say £50? Because i can add in the extra now so if its worth it then i will.

    Any chance i would see an increase in quality from a better sound card? Got a Sound blaster 2 ZS

    IMO Z4 is the best 2.1 set you can get between £40 - ~£80.

    good stuff, just equalize to your taste, and try getting decent bitrates on your mp3's/flacc/aac etc etc.
