New possible speakers

[pillar]

Right now I have some old Altec Lansing speakers. Ive had them for about 3 years now, so its time for an upgrade. Now that ive been working enough, I can definitely look into spendin a lil more on speakers. What I really want is a 2.1 speaker setup. Dont necessarily need a 4.1 (if that even still exists), but if I can find that or a 5.1 speaker set for a great price, then ill go after it. Walmart sells 2 different 2.1 speaker sets by Logitech for the same price. They also sell the upgraded version of what I have right now, but cant remember the price.

Anyways, if you have a suggestion for a speaker set, please let me know. Im willing to go as high as $50.

For $50 you're not going to get much. I bought a 2.1 CyberAcoustic set for $40 a few months ago; sure it sounds okay, but the quality is kinda shotty. I know when I get some money / when they break I'm going to buy a nice 5.1 Logitech set.

Can't go wrong with Logitech, but for what you're asking I'd check these out. In my opinion, it'd be better to get a higher quality 2.0 set, than a cheap 2.1.

Ive got these- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121120

Definitely a little more than $50 but if you are lookin to get 5.1 you cant go wrong these things sound AMAZING.

For under 50, id agree with putty. ive seen speakers similar to these that had pretty good sound quality so definitely worth the money.

I have the Z5500 in my living room for movie watching... definitely overkill for gaming... but the Z2300 makes for excellent gaming (I use them on my gaming rig)... not cheap.... but very nice speakers with good output.

yea.. they are a little bit overkill. they were originally set up on our htpc but my dad bought a new set and gave em to me. they are brilliant tho

Hey man. Check out the Logitech X-540 5.1 surround sound. They get the job done.

I have my Notebook Connected to my rooms 7.1 surround sound system, Obviously it will be more money then normal speakers but if you already have one, it might be an option.

Ok this is going to sound really wierd, but my History teacher has these altec lansing speakers and they sound really good when she plays music/youtube/dvd's for us.

$65-8%(BING discount)=$59 so if you can spend $10 more then i would get those.
