If audio quality is the priority, you will get better in a 2.1 than an equivalently priced 5.1 - simple economics.
For really good audio quality at a reasonable price, I recommend the Altec Lancing MX5021 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=112146 , or spend a bit more and go for the Altec Lancing FX6021. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=115456
These are also supposed to be very good, but maybe a bit expensive.
Could you tell us what the budget is please?
If you want good PC speakers, these or the Altec Lansings would be your best bet. They will actually sound good, but you pay the price...
As BlindMelon7 said, we'd need to know your budget to make the best suggestion :)
Hmmmm...PC Pro did NOT like the I-Trigues
i got some logitech Z-2300's last month,
there a great 2.1 set up.
they are THX certifed and the qualite is great as well as the build, I opted for a 2.1 setup cos of the space and a 5.1 were impractical for my set up.
got for £99 from www.novatech.com
hope this help a little
Big fan of logitech 5.1 sets - the THX certified stuff is stunning for the money..
I just ordered a pair of Logitech Z-4 2.1's from ebuyer anyone got any thoughts on them. Didn't want anything to expensive or big cos it's only a small flat and i don't have the room for 5.1's.
Logitech make some really decent desktop speakers - both 2.1 and 5.1 - even 7.1.
i've always thought 7.1's would be nothing more than a nuisance of wires!
Hehe ye well, it definately required A LOT of work. Especially if you want it to look clean and cover all the wires.Quote:

I can honeslty say they are great. There is also a 5.1 set that if these are anything to go by will be mega.
hmm atm im deliberating over a set of 2.1 as well. Stuck between the logitech z4's and altec lansing VS4121. Theres about a £10 difference, altec being the cheaper set, anyone own a set of these?
i dont really want to be spending much over 70 quid, and i do think 2.1 would be the better option, as i dont really need 5 speakers come to think of it.
Stretch the extra £20 and get these from SCAN http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=112146 Free postage, THX Certified, and very good audio quality, and they look nice ..... you will be glad you did! (Yes I do have these on my PC.... and can recognise a decent sound - I have a reasonable HiFi as well but with Monitor Audio speakers at £500 a pair.... ).Quote:
