I've currently got : Logitech X530 5.1 Speakers

and i use my zalman 5.1 headphones for cs and mostly listen to music, so i'm only using 2.1 of the 5.1 system. I was wondering whether i should sell it (i know i wont get much) and get a better 2.1 system? What would you recommend?
Preferabbly would like to spend less than £50.
 
tbh use the 50 to be a soundcard , the creative audigy 4 i have upscales songs so they play through all 5 speakers not just through the front 2, makes it sound great

sorry i cant be any help on speakers though
 
If you listen to mostly music then yes, sell it. However I can't help feeling that £50 would be more of a sideways step in terms of sound quality. I'd say the minimum that you should be looking at are the Aego M's otherwise it won't really be worth your while.
 
These Altec Lansing are terrific but a little more than £50. You can however use them for more than music playback as DVDs also sound great on them. OCUK also do the same item in black but white seems to look cooler. Regardless of which colour you also get wall mounting brackets for the 2 speakers, the sub is a real meaty beast and throws out some serious bass in games & DVDs :eek:

Hm...£100 is a bit much for me atm, i don't think i can sell my current speakers for v.much. Any other alternatives?

thanks
 
lol yeah thats what i have, and thats what i did! :P

Any other recommendations? *cheaper ones :D

i like the look of the logitech z-4's and was thinking of getting the £140 logitech z5400's if im spending over £100 on 2.1's.
 
If you've got £50 to spend and you can sell the X-530 for £20-25, you're not far off being able to get the AE Aego M. Logitech Z3 should be better than the X-530 for about £40-50.
