Looking for a solid 2.1 system

[TOCSYS]

I'm looking for a nice 2.1 setup for my PC. Any info would help. Thanks.

$$?

Altec Lansing MX5021 ~$135
Klipsch I-Fi ~$200 Refurb, ~$400 Retail

I'd get the iFi refurb...

Sorry about that. I'm looking to spend 150-200

If you can go to 200, get the Klipsch I-Fi Refurbed. Otherwise, MX5021.

Klipsch has a decent little 2.1 system.

There's the link... it might be advertised as an iPod speaker system, but it works just fine as computer speakers.

EDIT/ the 5021 is better than Promedia 2.1 generally... although I do believe the Promedia has a better sub.

What cevilgenius said, get the iFi refurb.

The iFi refurbs look really nice, I would go that rout also. Heck, I have a pair of z5500s for my dorm, and I'm considering getting the iFi's for home... they definitely look nice.

Get the iFis. Period.

swans m200 with a sub would be a great option, too

I-Fi for $200 is plain better...

Seconded

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I decided to go with the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 set.

iFi would be better than the Swans with a similar sub in the clarity department. Better driver materials, better bracing, less distortion, better served for near-field performance.

Swans would have over the iFis in dispersion, soundstage, and larger sweet spot, but you would have to position them much farther away than the iFis to get the most out of them-- 1.5 times further apart than you are sitting away from them, and probably a nominal distance of about 5-6 feet toed-in.

The MX5021 is better in my opinion... but it's your call.
