Best PC speakers without going over board....it's just for mp3's and games

[Reality|Bites]

Ok so I've still got my Creative Inspire 5300's from when they were first released, how long has that been? 13 years? they still work as long as I don't mess with the bass knob on the back of the woofer, one little turn kills the woofer.

So I'm looking for a new set of PC speakers, 5.1 has never worked for me, the rear/side speakers have never ever functioned properly...years ago I had some sound out of them on windows XP I think but since windows 7 nothing.

So which 2.1 or 5.1 speakers would you all recommend? I can't be bothered with an amp and book shelf speakers and I don't really have the room.

and it'll have the same oomph as a 2.1 system?

Probably £100 really.

Sound quality is subjective though, just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it's better even though that's what the price suggests. I mean I don't really understand why Linn are soo expensive.
