I'm still using my 2. speakers I got for free when I bought this computer, and I'm sick of the fact that I have to use my headset or earphones to even hear any bass..

So yeah, I'd like you guys to recommend me a nice 2.1 set please 2.1 because I really cbf with 4.1, and besides, does it have many advantages anyway?

Budget, only €100 max

I recommend the Logitech Z-2300s. Had them for about 6 months so far.

I got these Bose speakers (I got them with -$10.00 off at the time $89.00USD). Amazing sound quality and bass!!

It sounds like you're not fussed about surround sound, so yeah - don't bother with 4.1/5.1/etc. The only advantage would be surround sound in movies and a few games. So not really that important.

well you'll need a preamp, an amp thats older than your grandma, some £300000 silver box that does insane hertz and makes noises even bats can't hear and then possibly no life and a guns and roses album.

Alternativly, just get what polux recommended, if you're a normal sane person.

Don't forget that you need 4 whole albums in FLAC.

For the money they are pretty good considering you get a sub too although I would rather get a better 2.0 set.

Woops, sorry.

And yeah, my computer isn't really in the best place to put surround sound, and I think I cbf with the configuration anyway. I'll look in those Logitechs

Logitech speakers are about as bad as it gets. Same goes for BOSE. Look into the Altec Lansing FX4021 if you actually want almost good sound out of cheap computer speakers.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Even if the Logitechs sound fine to him, he shouldn't buy them for the sole fact that they're Logitechs. They cost them about $20 to build, and they don't deserve the massive profit.

I disagree. If people that know what they're talking about are advising not to buy them, then why buy them?

When you look at what you get, they really aren't good for the price. A cheap chip amp, ultra-cheap drivers and horribly designed enclosures. I mean, bass reflex on satellites? Come on now. Those things shouldn't even try to produce bass! That's what the subwoofer is for!
