2.1 speakers to buy

Sudden · 7 Jul 2006 at 00:58

I'm looking to replace my sony 2.0 speakers with some new 2.1 ones so thought i'd ask for some advice

Now I know that everyone here highly recommends the Aego M's, but was just wondering about some other choices too.
If anyone has heard or has the following ones, could I have your opinions please?
Bose companion 3
Logitech Z 2300
Altec Lansing VS4221

Also, any other recommendations are welcome

Thanks

Don't have a particular budget as such, so go wild!
Isn't the bose companion 3 the most expensive as far as 2.1 go though? I wasn't aware something more expensive was there.

I don't really want an amp and hifi setup though, looking specifically for a 2.1 speaker system and want the best. Despite the Aego M's glowing reviews across the board here, I don't like the look of it that much and the fact that it doesn't have a headphone jack puts me off a bit. That's one of the annoyances I have with my current sony 2.0 setup.

Are there any other 2.1 systems that are almost as good as the Aego's in terms of sound quality? I don't want something overly loud, and by the looks of it, taht rules out the Logitech Z 2300. Any other options available? without comprimising too much on the quality.

i does have a headphoine jack doesnt it?, or do u mean a headphone output?

Sorry, I think i'm a bit confused with the terms, must mean output

A place on the speaker itself to plug in the headphones basically, instead of plugging them out of the CPU and plugging in the headphones there.

Now that I think about it, output makes a lot more sense
