You need to let us know your budget first, then only we can point you in the right direction.
I'm using the KEF KHT2005.2 speakers and the sound simply stunning  http://www.kef.com/KHT/KHT2005.2/sat.htm |

Mine is hooked up to Sony's HT-DDW670 Home theater in a box speakers. It's not the best but it's cheap (RM999, I got it for free) and good enough to save myself in GRAW.

QUOTE Setting a new standard for this premium sector in both performance and design, the 700 Series comprises seven speaker models for both audio and home theatre applications. The choice starts with two floor-standing models (703 and 704) and one stand-mount model (705) for main speaker duty. Specialist centre (HTM7) and surround (DS7) speakers and two formidable subwoofers (ASW700 and ASW750) complete the line-up. All models, with the exception of the DS7, are available in a choice of five real wood veneers - Maple, Cherry, Rosenut, Walnut and Black Ash - with main and centre models featuring curved one-piece top and front panels. The DS7 comes in a choice of black or white painted finishes. The FS-700 speaker stand supports the 705 and the HTM7 centre speaker at the optimum listening height and is available in all black or in a combination of silver pillars with grey base and top. It's attention to detail that makes these speakers stand out from the crowd. To our already impressive portfolio of technologies, we have added improvements to both driver and cabinet design that genuinely improve the listening experience in terms of accuracy of tonal character, resolution of fine detail and presenting a realistic sound stage between the speakers. source: B&W link |

Xeno : that set doesn't have a decoder, you can't use it with the 360 on it's own. You need an amp/decoder

Can't Xeno just plug those speakers to the TV connectors (either audio out or headphones jack) without going thru an amp (since those speakers already have built-in amp)?

5.1 not appropriate? You need to experience it man. You will make it appropriate once you knew what you're missing. |

Wow, good job resurrecting an almost one-year-old thread
 @defaultname ... more accurate would be, does your computer speakers have a built-in dolby decoder (i'd say vast majority of 5.1 pc speakers doesn't)? |

Still using Logitech Z-680, does wonders for my Astro viewing, and of course playing game.
The 5.1 of Z-680 is enough to help me "bully" people in COD4. You always know the direction of people coming to you. |

I don't see why you need external speakers.There's nothing wrong with the built-in ones.They're nice,crisp,and bassy. |

sorry to revive this thread, but i need you guys help..currently looking for suitable speaker yet affordable for my xbox 360... affordable means a student can afford one la...i'm thinking about getting 5.1 but i guess it's damn hard to get 5.1 speaker with optical...and i can't afford those logitech z5500 (£180)...if i get those normal 5.1 pc speaker like logitech x-540 and hookup with a 5.1 decoder, will i get true surround? (you can call me noob in this audio thingy)..currently playing my xbox 360 "bisu"...any ideas are welcomed. thanks.

QUOTE(hazardcradle) i guess it's damn hard to get 5.1 speaker with optical Actually it's damn easy to get 5.1 speakers with optical ;x ... just depends on budget only ;x If you are really budget I guess you could buy a cheap 5.1 computer speaker set, and then buy a sound card with optical input & dolby digital decoding. Or you could do what I did -- I got myself a Pioneer HTP-330 for RM900. Problem with budget hi-fi's is that they typically don't have the complete 5channel analog input, so you have to buy a soundcard with Dolby digital Live encoding to get 5.1 audio from your computer as well.
