Ok, I coming from owning a Altec Lansing 4100 system which consists of four sats and one subwoofer. I was never really impressed with the system in the first place as I thought the subwoofer was very boomy, not that accurate, near the size of a computer itself, and drowned out the satellites. But now I've moved into community living (condo) where my computer desk is adjacent to a neighbors bedroom, I do not want a boomy subwoofer and would prefer a "clean" sound.
Anyhow I have been looking at a smaller footprint 2.1 or just plain 2 speaker system for hopefully not more then a hundred dollars. I look at see what's available at local Compusa and then read Amazon reviews. One speaker system is the Logitech X-230 for $50 at Compusa. At first I thought the price was too low to really be any good but Amazon reviews are very favorable. Another I found intriguing was the Bose Companian 2 for a hundred dollars. Certainly has a small enough footprint but I read very mixed reviews at Amazon, some very positive, some very negative. Plus I've heard, perhaps not warranted that "friends don't let friends buy Bose".
P.S. Did some more looking. Should I also consider Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 2.0?
Anyhow any opinions on above two mentioned speaker systems or other recommendations? To reiterate I'm looking for accurate clean sound with a small footprint as opposed to boomy bass and hopefully less then a hundred although I would spend a bit more if blown away but a certain speaker set. Thanks for any input.
