Great Quality (For Money) PC Speakers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In the last couple of days I've been looking at various surround sound systems which I could use for computer gaming, watching DVDs and listening to music. Currently I use the excellent Logitech X-530, which costs about 70 EUR (5.1 speakers + amp!) - but I want to upgrade to a system which can handle multiple inputs (the X-530 only handles one analog 5.1  source), and which has a little bit more power and quality.

I have two reasons for creating this thread: First I'd like to praise the X-530 because it offers great quality for money, and if you currently have computer speakers which don't exactly sound hi-fi then I can only recommend Logitech systems to everyone - if not the 5.1 X-530 then the 2.1 X-210, which only costs about 30 EUR. For that price it sounds absolutely wonderful!

The second reason is that I wasn't able to find the right system to upgrade to ... maybe you have some suggestions? Apparently you can get a really good surround sound system for about 5,000 EUR, but there has got to be something between that and my really affordable X-530 which offers a good compromise between price, audio quality and versatility (in terms of sources I can use - digital inputs, analog stereo inputs, analog 5.1 inputs etc.).

So ... what kind of computer speakers do you use, would you recommend them, or what system would you upgrade to?
