Which Speakers: 2.0 or 2.1

[phasechange]

Hi Guys,

I've decided to ditch my budget Creative 5.1 and go for a system that takes up less space and is neat and tidy.

My requirements are... no rear speakers to trip over/hoover round. Headphone jack on control unit or speakers to make it easy to plug my headset in (ideal would be headphone and mic jacks but I don't think I'll find that). I will use this for gaming and listening to music. I need speakers that will do a good job off both. Volume isn't especially important but the sound must be full and should fill my study which is 3.31mx2.87m.

I am leaning towards Logitech Z-2300 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-022-LG after flirting with the idea of the Z-10s http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-041-LG but being put off by them being tied to a USB Sound Card and not using my XFi.

however I notice a lot of favourable comments in this forum about the AE Aego http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-000-AE&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=173

Could you guys maybe give me your advice, experience, views please? I need help coming to a conclusion. (I run Vista 64bit if that makes any difference I doubt it will)

Thanks,
Phasechange

Well there's no headphone socket on the Aego's, cant you use the headphone socket on your Xfi? They really are fantastic speakers.

I don't have a front audio panel and the jack on the back is used for the speakers. Or can you connect both and I'm being thick?

Z-2300s ordered. I realise THX means nothing but if people here are happy with them then that's good enough for me
