Hello,

I'm looking at buying some 5.1 speakers to replace my old Creative ones. I was after a good quality set with excellent bass for my PC only and to be set-up in a relatively small area.

After reading lots of reviews I decided on the Logitech Z-5500 but I've been put off by the number of people I've read about experiencing problems with up to three different sets. Is there anything better out there I'm not aware of? Would I be better going for separates? Should I bite the bullet and buy the Z-5500?

My budget is around the £200 mark but can stretch to £250 if required.

Thanks.
 
Games and music mostly although I want the 5.1 for games. Movies to an extent but games are certainly the over-riding factor.

I'm guessing for a fantastic stereo system I'm looking at way in excess of £250?
 
Allow me to shift the focus of this thread slightly for the moment:

As a little test, I've got a stereo system I want to try and plug into my PC (good luck to me :eek: ). I currently connect it to a small TV for audio output when using my PS2. It has two RCA connectors at the front (for left and right audio as it is a two-speaker system) which I would presumably have to connect to my soundcard, an X-Fi. My question is this: what sort of cable/converter do I need between the soundcard and the stereo?

Apologies for the lack of understanding/knowledge as this is something I've never looked into previously.
