Bookshelf speakers and sub + Reciever OR PC speakers?

[CorCentral]

My cheapy pc audio setup comprises of a 2.1 setup for now:
Sony STR-DE-685 100x5 reciever
Infinity Primus 150 bookshelf speakers
Polk PSW202 subwoofer


Questions-----
1-- Are there any 2.1 "pc" systems in the same price range that compare with what I have? If so, what are they?
2-- I'm thinking about getting 2 rear speakers to compliment this set but I'm not sure on which ones. Primus 140's? (they have to be wall mountable and sort've match the Primus 150's I have) Recommendations?
3-- Should I just buy a pc type speaker setup like Logitech and sell the speakers I have on Ebay?


EDIT: Thanks guys. I may try to find some 150's or 160's and move my current 150's to the rear.

Most any PC speakers you could buy (perhaps all?) would be considered a downgrade from your current setup.

Using the Primus 140s for your surrounds should match your 150s just fine.

Agreed. You already have a nice setup.

You might as well go ahead and get the 150s for surround use because they aren't much more and they are still easily wall mountable.

Anybody know how the new XX2 Primus series compares to the XX0 Primus series?

Those speakers are going to be better than any 2.1 computer systems that I'm aware of.

If anything, they spec out exactly the same.

Everyone else said it already: going to computer speakers is a downgrade, your setup is great already.

Getting P140 for surrounds would be fine if you're happy with your P150s. Otherwise, you could upgrade your P150s and shift those back. Only problem is I think you MAY have trouble tracking down some 140s. Last fall, I almost bought some P140/150/160s when they were being cleared out; I was too late. Good luck.

Probably because infinity was bringing out the 142/152/162s, which look and spec out practically identical to the 140/150/160s.

But I'll say it again, there is no reason he needs to go with smaller speakers just for surround use. If he can't find any 150s, he could just get 152s and then put the 150s in the back, or get 162s and put the 150s in the back.
