Hi, Thanks for the help.

Yes Mozelleple112, R1000.00 (Rand) is about $121 (USD).

Yes Bozanimal, I was very happy with that set.

I tried to look for a pair of Bookshelf speakers and get a small amp and then an active sub but so far no luck.

Also I was thinking, wouldnt the sound be better from X530 then the Z506? And since the X530 are on sale that is a good deal (Std price was R1100.00? I know the Z506 are newer but if Im correct it has a lower output compared to the X530?

To be honest, I am a bit hesitant getting the same speakers(X530) again since the sub had died within 5 years (2005 to 2010) or am I just expecting too much from this sytem?

This is the shop that has the X530 on sale: http://www.hificorp.co.za/prods/office-automation/speakers/

Here is another shop: http://www.dionwired.co.za/

Any other suggestions guys?

Hi there,

I have owned the Logitech X530 5.1 system... and it worked great till last year the sub gave up. My friend gave me his spare Home theatre active sub and built in amp. So i connected the Logitech speakers to that and it worked till about a month ago, when that sub/amp died aswel.

Now Im left speaker less and headphones are just not working for me.

First and foremost I live in South Africa,

Budget: R1000.00

Use: mostly for movies and games, not so much music.

Requests: I want something that has good bass.

As far as 2.1 vs 5.1 go havent really made up my mind, which ever sounds better, space isnt an issue.

So far Ive come up with these options:

1. Logitech Z523

Your best bet is to go HDMI into the receiver, but if that is not an option Optical (tooslink) is the next best because these are your only options to get 5.1+ audio.wooooode

You can get Pro-Logic surround sound with those cables, fronts will be seperate but the rears are basically the same mono-ish signal out of each side. An optical cable would be better if you're surround sound has it as this will give each channel it's own signal and be much more enveloping in atmospheric games.

I read a discription of your surround sound system and it lookls like you dont have an optical input. If im wrong your best option would be what you just said. HDMI from PS3 to TV for video only and theOptical cable from your PS3 to your Surround sound system for Dolby Digital 5.1 and/or DTS 5.1. Trust me its how mine is set up and it the way to go with a home theatre in a box set up.
