i just bought myself logitech x 230 after reading a staggeringly positive reviews from Amazon UK. Why UK cos these people are a hi fi connoiseur and they have more separates system than the rest of the world. So when it comes to sound system trust the brits.
Cheap, presentable, non invasive (small sized) yet superb sound and neat build quality. Im an audiophile so i have quite a few system at home as benchmark but i find that these small speakers emit a faboulus sound for my desktop considering the price. Forget sonic gear or ediifier, they look so ahbengs.U can also forget altec lansing or creative cos IMO, they look a bit dodgy but hey, we are all unique.
However, as alternatives, after days of extensive research online and visual inspections at Lowyat plaza, i found that logitech speakers are always neatly designed. In order to get best value for your $$$, these are the Price range and recommended system for a 2.1.
< RM150 - Logitech x 210 (rm129)
<RM300 - Logitech x 230 ( not 240 cos they sound worse and i mean a distant second than 230 - Rm160)
<Rm400 - Klipsch Promedia GMX (rm399)
<Rm600 - Logitech z 2300 THX (rm500++)
But Why spend more when you can have excellent sound from x 230?

they got the bass, nice treble and respectale midrange execution. Stocks in most shop in LYP are running out (they are oold speakers but logitech still produces em cos u know y) so you better hurry if you wanna grab one.
You may want to audition them first before buying cos we are all unique in taste. Good luck.
i believe that the sound quality is very subjective, i have auditioned both X-230 and Edifier E3100 before, but i found that E3100 certainly sound much better

although i do not agree that Edifier look ah beng, i agree about the Sonic Gear part

lower end creative and altec lansing are never good to begin with (with ATP3 as an exception). again, those are just my personal opinion
