Best 2.1 speakers for a price around 100 dallors.

[Preti9cboi]

In case someone else needed this information i changed the name of the title. About half way down the page you can find three reviews for a 2.1 speaker system. Creative L3500, Cyberacustics 3780, and Logitech Z2300. From the reviews i found the Logitech Z2300 to be the better of the three. I just ordered it for 125.99 out the door at newegg.

For 100 bucks stay with 2.1. You wont find any decent 5.1 for that range. I have the cyberacoustic 3780 which is 180 watts - 100w sub and each satellite is 40 watts. One satellite is almost the total wattage of the creative. Read the reviews at newegg. Several others here have gotten these and no complaints. Radio shack has them for 79 bucks free shiping but they are out of stock. If you need them quickly I recommend newegg or here:

How does THX certied compare to none certified speakers? I'm basically asking this question because i narrowed down my purchases to two Speakers.

Creative Labs I-Trigue L3500

Logitech Z2300

The logitech is THX certified. I also use my computer to watch DVD movies so that's why the THX certified really interest me.

And how would these compare with the cyberacoustic 3780?

I don't think THX really matters that much. I would look more at reviews rather then one speaker set be certified or not.

Yups. Thanks for the replys. I've done my share of reading and found that Logitech Z2300 is over all the better product of the three.

Here's a link to the review of the Cyberacustic 3780 vs the Logitech Z2200. The logitech Z2300 is the newer version of the Z2200 which got better reviws then the Z2200 because of the improvements.

Basically from my reading, all three are great systems. I decided on the Logitech mainly because the Creative and Cyberacustics did not play low bass as good as the logitech.

I got it for 125.99 out the door at newegg.

Okay im posting these reviews up for those that are looking for a system around 100 dallors.

Creative L3500.........................................$107.00

Basically the review says everything is good except the low end bass IGN gave it an 8.5

http://reviews.cnet.com/Logite...0993080-2.html?tag=top
Basically say that this system is an improvement on Z2200. Cnet gave it a 9.0 rating.

Cyberacustics 3780 vs Z2200...................$89.95 (Cyberacustics 3780)
http://www.maximumpc.com/revie...review_2004-03-08.html
Basically says the Z2200 is better overall. The review also mentioned that one of the speakers busted during their benchmark. So becareful not to turn this system too high if you already have one.
