I need some new speakers.

[Marsh]

My current ones are a bit crap and I want to replace them with something that's capable of pumping out some decent quality. At the moment I'm using headphones because I get better sound quality out of them.

Any suggestions? I know nothing about what's cool, what I should be looking for, good value for money or anything.

These speakers will be for my computer, and surround sound would be preferable because I want something decent but affordable. I'm not a freak for perfect quality music, but my current setup is absolute rubbish. I want to upgrade it.

Thanks, my lovelies.

My mate has them, and they own (I'm too poor to get them yet, and am saving up for 7.1 surround sound because my sound card supports it and his doesn't, so I want to show off ¬_¬)

If you're looking for a 2.1 setup...

...but if you're looking for a 5.1 setup:

I have the 2.1s, and I love them to pieces. I'd been toying with the idea of moving up to 5.1 for awhile, but regardless, Klipsch is hard to beat.

I don't know what products are available in that part of the world, but for music and movies...

wood speaker enclosures >>> plastic, and

biaxial/triaxial >>> single speaker satellites.

Of course, a subwoofer is mandatory for computer sound, since you likely won't be using old-school stereo speakers with 12-15 inch woofers, but a sub and small satellites.

Go for a brand that makes stereo equipment as well, to be sure that you are getting real speakers and not some crap ones by a computer company like Logitech or Creative. Yeah, they're good, but not as good as you'll find. And the other reason for going with a known home stereo manufacturer for your set up is the amplifier, which is usually integrated into a computer speaker package. That's where you'll really notice the cheese of non-home entertainment brands that are just for computers.

Go to the biggest computer store in your area. They may have a side by side comparison contraption, that lets you press buttons to switch between different speaker brands and hear the difference.
