I’m trying to find a good set of 2.1 speakers. I’ve found 6 sets worth considering:

Altec Lansing 2100
Creative I-Trigue 3200
Creative Inspire T3000
Logitech Z-3
Logitech X-230
Logisys SP6001

Among these, price isn’t a consideration, only sound quality. By the way, I will be using these mostly to play music of basically all genres, so I don’t want to end up with a system geared only towards a single genre, or only geared towards gaming.

I’ve read tons of reviews (both on reputable sites and consumer review sites like Newegg, Amazon, etc.) about each one and they all basically say the same thing: this is a good system for the price, etc., etc.. Occasionally someone will complain about the 2100’s midrange or something like that, but it’s not consistent enough to notice. It’d be nice if I could find a site that reviews more than one of them, but no luck thus far.

The specs are basically identical, as any search shows, and the prices all run $40-70. If anyone has some suggestions regarding which system(s) are best, I’d really appreciate them.

I can only comment on the Creative Inspire, and they sound great!

if you look at the reviews here at THG, the Logitech X-230s statistically have the best sound for midprice 2.1 speakers. i have the X-530s (the 5.1 version of the X-230s). from a subjective standpoint, i can say that these speakers cover every base as far as frequency reproduction. albeit it won't shatter your eardrums, if that's what you like...

If you want sound quality you might want to look at the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system.
Here are the specs: <A HREF="http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=103&s=specs" target="_new">http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=103&s=specs</A>
Then again, if your price limit is about $40-$70 that eliminatest them, they are about $150 :)

Out of the ones up there I'd go for the Logitech X-230.
