Hi!
I know, this is another "what speakers" but i can't make a decision for myself.
I have been using the creative SBS 580,which are 5.1 but i have used as a 2.1 system, through my emu 0202, but I'm tired and want more.

I hear a little bit of everything, since electronic,hip-hop,indie, post-rock,etc. If I want them to sound like something it would be my px100, they are a pleasure to listen.
I made a short list of the ones i'm interested and are easy to find in Portugal.
Probably the vs2421 don't sound good, but they are good looking, cheap and i can find them anywhere, but I'm afraid of their sound, they seem the type of speakers that will sound muddy or boomy, and i hate that.(I think i can start to take the Fx3022 out of the list).

Altec Lansing FX3022 Expressionist Bass - 129,95€
Altec Lansing Expressionist Classic - 79,95€
Altec Lansing vs2421 - 49,95€

Harman Kardon Soundsticks II 2.1 - 159,9€

M-Audio - Studiophile AV40 - 138€
M-Audio - Studiophile AV30 - 80,75€
M-Audio - Studiophile DX4 - 162,65€

Behringer MS-40 - 114€

Swans S3W - 89,00€
Swans m10 - 158.00€

Edifier 2.1 S330D - 99~130€

JBL Creature II - 70~79€

JBL creatures are garbage. Take them off your list, I say.


Really? I heard some people saying nice things about them, I started to get really interested, but I think they are kinda ugly.

I have a set, they're terrible. I got them in a trade and they're secondary speakers for my old box.

I got:

JBL creatures
19" LCD monitor
600 watt psu

for an antec nine hundred I didn't want anymore. The monitor was the highlight naturally.

I see, thanks for the help, seems they will really go out of the window then. Any advice about what to get or other options to choose from?

I agree. If I was to purchase a pair of pc speakers it would be the Logitech Z2300s, but they are a bit heavy on the bass.

I would consider a set of studio monitors.
