Advice on which 2.1 Speakers to get?

[maniac886]

Basically I have the Samsung LE26R74BD LCD TV. I have this hooked up to my PC(VGA),DVD(HDMI) and Xbox 360(Component). I don't believe my room is large enough to have a 5.1 system setup so I am basically looking for the best 2.1 setup. I currently have Logitech® X-230's so I am looking for an improvement. Also whats the best method of connecting them to the samsung telly?

Any advice appreciated!

My budget is £150 max.

AE Aego M would probably be your best bet at £89:

After that there's not a lot around worth considering until you get to the £200 price range, like the Audioengine A5. Although this is a pair of powered stereo speakers (no sub), they are full range:

To connect you should have a stereo out from the telly which you take and connect to the phono or mini jack input on the speakers (using the appropriate lead).

Hi thanks for that. I have been looking at these and so have purchased them now.

I have a question regarding the setup. I basically want to use these with my samsung television, the setup I will have is;


I am unsure about which leads i need to purchase to connect the PC(sound card) to tele and to connect tele to speakers.

Thanks

You've probably only got one set of stereo inputs on the telly, taken up, I presume, by your 360.

The way to go for the PC is to connect to the telly by VGA, and direct connect the audio out from the cound card (probably mini-jack) to the audio in on the speakers. I presume you bought the AE speakers, and I think there is a mini-jack in and phono in, so get a mini-jack to mini jack for the PC and phono to phono for the TV.

Does this make sense?

PS I would wait until you get the speakers to get the leads, just in case. I always find it much easier once I can see what's there.
