| LF: computer speakers recommendation
willing to spend at most ~$100.
looking for some decent 2.1 speakers, since i don't think $100 will be enough for a good set of 5.1s http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/...8669ebb9ceen02
i missed out on these.  |

^ those are decent at best...but amazing bang for the buck when you used to be able to get them for $40

A lot of people won't believe this, but Edifiers are pretty damn good for their price.
I couldn't believe it until I heard them. I got a set of M3300's. I really like the 3" mid-range driver + 1/2" tweeter as opposed to the single 2" you get in similarly priced Logitechs.
$60 at NCIX 
I'm a bit of a sound quality nut, so I was pleasantly surprised by these things.

I wouldn't recommend getting a Logitech. From my personal experience, two Logitechs have failed me so far.
But of course, I may have just been unlucky (I did take care of them).
Using an Altec Lansing at the moment. Forgot the specific model but if you were to choose a brand, Altecs are the way to go. Superb sound quality, excellent power, extremely reliable.

I'm using the logitech X-240 and it picks up an indo radio station, although it's only noticable when I'm not listening to music.

i have a set of Edifier 2.1's. They've got the bookshelf speakers - which sound AMAZING. The sub isn't the greatest, but for $100, they are amazing. Don't dismiss them because they're from China.
If you're not fussed about how they look, you can find some decent deals on ebay as well. I've found a set of Altec Lansings that retailed at $200 for $80, but there were little scratches on it - but sounded amazing.

ummm i have my Z2300 LOgi for 3 years never had a problem, my gf uses it, my friends uses it, my cousin uses it no complaints
They are usually around $220
see if they ever go on sale, definitely worth it
I originally got my eyes set on Z5500, unless you got a huge living room, Z2200 is more than enough

If you can, spend a bit more and get these: http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=27...acture=EDIFIER
It is crisp and clear. The sub is powerful as well. Best thing about it is that it has optical input. You can actually hook it up to your HDTV. Comes with a optical cable as well.

I use the Razer Mako 2.1 THX set. Not bad. Especially since I got them from NCIX Boxing day sale.

Now the mids are perfect, but doesnt have a lot of highs

Logitech's are known to be bass heavy and weak in the midrange. I've never had problems with my Z-560's though which I've had for about 8 years nor the Z-5500's I bought for my gf.
Irregardless of what you get you really need to have a good soundcard too, something along the lines of M-Audio.

I have the Logitech Z-2300 for 2 years, still running strong, very nice speakers if you listen to music with bass cuz its got a huge subwoofer, music like hip hop or trance is good, but if your into classical shit, look somewhere else

What would you guys suggest/recommend if space were an issue but quality sound were a priority (THX-ish level of punch). Basically I want to chuck the sub under my bed which is 8.5' tall max. Checked the S330D and sub is too large. Don't really have a budget so long as it is not something offensive like 2k+ etc.

On my personal preference I would definitely go with a set of Altec Lansings.
They don't have the overpowered bass of Logitechs but the quality of sound and reliability is much better.
There is a pair currently on sale for 50% off for $49.99 at FS. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...cfa4d72942en02
If you aren't in a rush to get them I would wait for a more expensive pair to go on sale seeing that you are willing to spend $100
They are marked up high so sooner or later these will be half price. http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/...dce89af1f0en02
I got the old version for $80  | |
