    Need 2.0 Speakers

    I am after some small but good looking / sounding speakers for my PC. Don't want to pay too much. I like the Creative T20 but a bit out of my price range (Unless someone is selling thiers?)

    Anyone got any good recommendations? Max £30 budget Ta

    Would be good to have a rough budget, but the Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks are meant to be quite good

    You definitly need some 1800w 7.1 surround sound tripple-range speakers and an X-FI Xtreme Music sound card with a 5.25" bay extension

    Hmmm, on a serious note though, those MX5020 speakers look quite good.
    What kind of music (heavy bass/high treble) or games are you going to be using this for?

    Kool PC,

    most 2 speaker setups worthy of any merit now, come with a sub - mainly to prop up smaller more stylish satellite speakers.

    Try Dabs, they have a lot at the lower end of the price range

    I know your question was for 2.0 speakers but have a look at the Logitech S200. I bought these a couple of months ago, they are superb value for the price. Many positive reviews on ebuyer.

    altec lansing do a good buy from scan at 29.95, so if uve applied for ur hexus-free carriage deal from scan thats under budget, its a 2.1 sound system, with a nice bass and treble, and they're easy to set up too. U can also take the stands off them and wall mount the speakers, if u wished.

    2 of my mates got these, ones hooked on WoW and the other plays Elder Scrolls, and they both say they're perfect for games. These would be my preference.

    EDIT: Forgot to post the link:

    What about this Harman Kardon speakers?
    I am thinking of buying this to replace my current speakers (Cheapo Sound Blaster), but I am not sure if it's worth it?
    IMHO the lower frequency range is not low enough though... I prefer 20 Hz if there is one.

    Well, i have got some cheap speakers now. As stated in the first post, only 2 speakers were required. Pointless saying about 2.1 or 7.1 systems as that was not what i was after. Anyway, thanks.

    Just for future reference, I've got a pair of Gigaworks T20s sitting in front of me as I type and they're fantastic. As long as you're not expecting low bass extension (they start rolling off below about 90Hz) you'll get a fantastically detailed and tight sound. I've seen them for about £50 floating around the web and I'd say that they're well worth it.
