Best PC Speakers for £60 odd
 
My Altec Lansings have given up the ghost after 6 years.:mad: It was a 2.1 system and sounded fantastic. Any thoughts on the Logitech or Creative 5.1 setups for about £60 or so pounds? Thanks.:)

I use a Cambridge Soundworks / Creative 2.1 system I bought for a tenner... 2.1, sounds excellent.

I bought a set of Logitech X-230. I got them from Amazon for £32 eighteen months ago and am well satisfied with them. I was a bit doughtfull of the build quality but they have turned out OK.

If you have a good hifi, hook it up to that. It's quite easy to do.

I spent a lot of time looking for a decent sounding set of PC speakers and currently use a set of AE Aego M.

Slightly more expensive than the price you want to pay but I think you can find them for about £120.

They really are excellent speakers.

I highly recommend these logitech x-530. I have them and they are surprisingly bassy for such a compact sub. I have a few logitech products now and rate the quality very high.

I bought the Logitech X-530 round Christmas time, I'm happy with them for listening to mp3s while on the internet or playing games. Occasionally hear foreign radio though when they're on, but I don't think that's the speakers' fault, as the old ones did that :(

you won't like me saying this bud, but imo get a set of Logitech z-5500 speakers

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Dig.../dp/B0006HBCL8

in my opinion the biggest problem you will have is lifting the sub-woofer - way over your budget, but mine have been worth every penny

wow, the 'used' option from my link is excellent value ;)

The Z-5500s are pretty good, so good infact I use them in my lounge with my V+ and Blu-Ray player hooked up to them!

Had my mind on these http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/logite...77206-pdt.html anyway :)
And just reserved them for pick up tomorrow. Price has gone up a fiver since first looking though.:erm::mad:
Anyway getting them tomorrow. The Z-5500 would have been such overkill but i would`ve loved them.:D
Thanks all........... I`ll report back.;).

Well. What can i say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
The neighbours are going to hate me. :D
Love these speakers, just started watching Avatar and the sound is amazing.:)
These are going through a Creative x-fi Extreme Gamer PCI-e card and i`m chuffed to bits with the sound only on 1/4 volume and the sub turned up 1/2 way!
Thanks all.:tu:
