Which 5.1+ computer speakers should I get?

My limit is under 150 bucks and I'm trying to get the best under that price, plus I need to upgrade, tired of 2.1 now.

Logitech X-540

Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z506

Creative Inspire T7700

With that budget you won't get a very good 5.1, what sort of 2.1 do you currently have?

Well an upgrade to 5.1 won't do you much good unless you really desire the surround. I would take that $150 and invest in a pair of quality monitors or monitors + sub.

Examples

2.0 -Swan D1010MKII 08 (2011 version)= $134

2.1 - Dayton B652 monitors + Lepai TA2020 t-amp + Dayton SUB-80 Subwoofer= $154.15

Hmm, interesting suggestions, I'll see what I can do.

If you are considering headphones I have some ideas in your budget.

Also what would you be using these speakers/headphones for? Music? Games? Movies?

I know it's a little out of your budget, but the Swan D1080MKII 08s - $178 would be able to produce a deeper bass and even larger sound that you might not expect from monitors of that size. A great upgrade from their little brother the D1010s.

These options will sound like day and night to your current setup and will bring your music and games alive.

In addition to the Swans and Daytons mentioned above - which are excellent options - I would add the option of the M-Audio AV30 (~$100) or AV40 (~$200) depending on your budget, and the Audioengine 2s (~$200); this might be useful depending on your price and availability.

So what's the best budget 5.1? i.e. how cheap is the the cheapest 5.1 that you'd recommend... I take it you don't like Boston Acoustics (they have cheap everything) ... There's always that Onkyo with a receiver for 300 bucksMozelleple112
