Hello All

Just wondering whether anyone could recommend a decent 2.1 speaker system (or even a REAL good 2.0 system) - not an expert in this field so any advice would be well appreciated!

Some other info:
  • I use my pc for watching films as well as listening to music - no games!
  • It will be in a small-medium sized room so don't want too many wires, and don't want a huge system as have enough clutter as it is!
  • Budget - less than £100.
  • I did like the Harman Kardon Soundsticks, and was originally going to go with them (from the great reviews I have read, as well as a great design) but decided against it as I read it does not have a switch to turn it off (waste of electricity - lol) and don’t want it to glow whilst I am trying to sleep - need darkness!!!

A speaker system which is great value and will hopefully last a few years!!!

Any advice/recs/help of any sort will be very well appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

If you like the Harman Kardon soundsticks, i would just get them. even while on, if speakers arent being used then there is almost no power at all being run through them. you wouldnt even notice the difference on your power bill.
 
Hey lovely? :)

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm afraid I am a total nit picker :( ...the blue glow of the system would seriously disturb my sleep! So unfortunantely it has to be a no-no for the soundsticks! :(

Thanks again for your response - was much appreciated! :)
 
The Logitech Z-2300, are really nice there 200W THX certified and they are about £90.

We use them at school, their awesome :)
 
Hi All

Thanks for all the responses and sorry for the delay in getting back!!! Yes, thinking about looking into one of the Logitech models now (no idea which one - but thanks SRcobra for the recc of Z-2300) maybe the Z4...

Hugh9191 - switch to the mains in the room where the speakers will be is in a tricky place to get to! I could get a surge protected extension with a switch but have now decided that the soundsticks are off the list completely and will try going for something decent for maybe half the price! - If possible! :confused:

Will let you all know how I get on!

Thanks again for all your responses! :)
