[hugekebab]

Whats quid? Is that like squid? I suppose if you have 50 squid thats a lot of speakers.

 

[hugekebab]

quid is slang for pound.

I like the Altec Lansing ATP3 system. It's a little old, but still very good. I'd also guess the Logitech offerings would be good, but I haven't heard them.

 

[hugekebab]

hmm does anyone haave first hand experience of any of the newer 2.1/2.0 systems

I just bought a set of Klipsch promedia 2.1's for $133 US. Overstock.com has them for ~$100 so thats like, what, 55-60 quid? If you want a little cheaper the Logitech Z-2300's are another great offering.

If you want to go even cheaper (sub $100 US) then the JBL Creature 2's get good reviews even though they are butt-ugly. Also the logitech Z-3's are decent and around $50 US. Not sure about the other styles, these are just the ones I recently compared before making my decision

To my ears, the logitechs tend to have more powerful bass while the klipsh have a more true reproduction of the music (much better highs).

Here is a thread I have in peripherals detailing my search for a decent 2.1 system. Check it out if you want more info.

These? This is the only set of Klipsch speakers Ive been able to find in the UK. My eternal search for their 5.1's continues.

they dont make a 230V version of the 5.1 ultras.

These were the speakers I was referring to

Man, after doing some searching it does look like the Klipsch are hard to find in the UK. Strange, you english must not have enough computer nerds to make it worth it

We had enough for Moblie Bartons, DLT3C T'Bred B's specifically available for order... we also have plenty of the useless stuff like flashy lights and cases.

We just dont have enough of the better makes like Klipsch and Panaflos are quite hard to find.

After messing around with some speakers for a while at a local store that had a bunch of different ones hooked up I found the Logitech X230's to be some of the best bang for a cheap buck. Even better than the slightly higher priced Logitechs and Altec Lansings.
