5.1 speakers recommendation

[johnsm]

I am going round in circles reading reviews. Can somebody please recommend me a good 5.1 speaker set for my PC. I am willing to pay up to about £350 ($530).

Welcome johnsm

 

Have a look at the Genelec 6010, they are less than $400

 

Combine them with the Genelec 5040 Sub for great little first surround setup.

 

A total package is available at $2500

Wow $2500 is way over my budget. Thanks for the reply though.

I think he mistook the $500 you spoke of as pertaining to each speaker. Do you have a plan of how you might run this 5.1 off your pc? with a receiver? Details might help as not having a receiver of any type means you will need powered speakers.

[DigiPete]

I did. The 6010 is where my world starts, sorry.

Have you considered something 2nd hand (pre-owned in new speak)?

And do you have a 5.1 sound card?

Look at Newegg. I ordered a Martin Logan MLT-2 system today. It is 5.1, four satellites, center channel, and sub. These were 1,000.00. Must be discontinued. It was 199.00 with shipping today.

I will hook it up in the video room. But will need a 5.1 amp of some sort. Also Blue Sky makes some nice active 5.1 systems, but that is over your budget.
