I'm looking for a set of 2.0/2.1 speakers to hook up to my computer for gaming, music, video... the whole shebang, but mostly music. They'll be in a small room, not a livingroom or anything.
Right now I have a 7 or 8 year old Sharp mini component system plugged into my PC that probably cost around $200 tops way back when I got it from a Walmart shelf, so I assume a newer system, whatever it may be, would be an upgrade from these?
I don't consider myself much of an audiophile, but I'd still like to get the best sound possible. I'm looking to spend around $200 max for the speakers.
The more I read, the more I lean toward mini monitors. In particular, the M-Audio AV40's have caught my eye. Another thing that is appealing to me is the 2.1 Logitech Z-2300 system.
So, my question is: For general purpose speakers (gaming, music, video... mostly music), would I be better off with the M-Audio AV40's or the Logitech Z-2300's?
Also worthy of mention is that regardless of which I get, the speakers will be plugged into a fairly good gaming sound card (at least when I bought it...
