I did a search and didn't see anything very recent on speakers so I'm starting my own thread on the topic...
I'm finally putting together a new computer system for me (kids took control of the other two systems) and am in the "research mode" now. As this system will be locating to our family room / dining room / kitchen part of the house which doesn't currently have a hi-fi sound system, I would like to use the computer for music listening as well as my gaming pleasure.
I've read good things about the sound quality of the Logitech Z680's and even better about the Klipcsh Promedia 5.1 -- although the Klipcsh are a little more than I would like to spend. My concern however, are the "reliability issues" I've also read. There are many "negative" reviews from people having to send these guys back after a few months of use.
Does anyone have any comments about these or recommendations about other 5.1 (or even 4.1) speakers? I'd like to keep the cost below $300 (US), and plan to utilize an Audigy 2 Zs sound card, and maybe watch an occasional DVD as well.
