So my ancient Logitech Z-540 4.1 speakers just died, so I need to go and get a new set of speakers. Since no one seems to sell 4.1 anymore, I've decided to drop to 2.1's instead (PC & Xbox360 are both in my bedroom, and can't really expand into a 5.1 anyway).

So I'm looking for a really good pair of 2.1 speakers. Primary is gonna be watching video's & gaming (PC & Xbox 360 will be hooked to it, Xbox is thru my PC Monitor as well). It must also be dependable. My Z-540's lasted the better part of 4 years, so I'd like them to last.

I want to say that cost is no object (the constraint is more physical space in my room), but I don't wanna be too silly about it. Let's say I think it's ridiculous to go beyond RM700 for a 2.1 set. Though mind you, if it's really good I'll probably be able to convince myself.

Right now I'm looking at:

Altec Lansing FX 6021
I-Trigue L3800
Logitech Z-2300

One other thing that I'm looking for is easy availability. All three models above are easily available in LowYat.

So, what do you guys recommend? Is there any other 2.1's that I should listen to. I know nuts about Klipsch and the other brands, so recommendations welcome.

If u can wait, i will suggest u to wait for the new Edifier S530D(S 2.1D)/S730D(S .1MKII).
If u need it urgent, i will suggest u try out the S2.1M(S330). Please ask them to plug the input to the AUX-IN @ wired controller, it will give u more power cause the Input sensitivity higher than the Input at the back panel of the woofer.

gotta believe that for portable range, it's one of the best speaker in its price...
sized only 2" and weigh for about 1kg. when i compare it to JBL onTour, mp300 seems to be slightly better...

Oh, I was under impression from AL website that FX 6021 was replacing the MX5021. Guess I was mistaken...

Is this what you're referring to? How long would I have to wait if it's not already available in LYP?

List is now:

I-Trigue L3800
Logitech Z-2300
Altec Lansing MX5021
Klipsch GMX ProMedia 2.1
Edifier S530D

The last two I' not sure of availability in LYP.

i got both M3300 and MP300...
M3300 used in hometown while MP300 carry around everywhere if i need it....

of course, M3300 sounds better in all aspect instead of MP300...
but what i like from MP300 is that it has stylish carrying case which allow me to bring it everywhere easily... the design also looks much better than M3300. hmm.gif

that time i bought it at very close price, now i know that Mp300 is designed for portability and design while M3300 is sound quality. depends on your need, i think both products are one of the best in that price and class range.... biggrin.gif

that's a normal price.
this speakers is a big NO NO for gamers. it only supports a digital optical cable. hence, it's only good for DVD-video but bad for games.
