any reccomendations for a 2.1 speaker system for around 130 euros? incl tax ofcoarse

As selam wa ailekum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatu dear readers

(Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of God be upon you dear readers)

 

I need help deciding on a 2.1 system my budget is around 130 euros and i live in Belgium so preferebly something actually available in benelux i wouldve gotten the klipsch promedia 2.1 if it was actually here.

 

Nonetheless I appear to be at an impasse a in this predicament i have found myself at.

So I call upon the LTT Forum for help seeing as reddit hasn't proven to be usefull with thier budget reccomendations of 300 euro's

 

so far I have only considered the Trust GXT 38 Tytan and the pebbles plus but neither of these seem worth it according to reddit.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

With kindest regards,

Yours truly, a random guy on the internet =)

Get a proper set of 2.0 speakers/near-field studio monitors, not that plastic garbage. A couple of options within your budget.

Overall sound is going to be far better than those dinky little Pebbles.

Gosh I hope not. I moved to 2.0 active monitors for my desk back in 2009 or so and the ProMedia 2.1 is what I upgraded from lol.

IMO, it'll be good enough and balanced. If you only care about bass and not overall balanced sound quality though, maybe not for you. Over the past 15 years or so I've had a set of Swan M200MKII's and JBL 104's and only with the JBL's did I find myself thinking about adding a sub, but still haven't. 

 

Comes down to the person. 

 

Regardless, I wouldn't buy those standard "computer speaker 2.1" types anymore after discovering proper 2.0 desktop powered monitors.

Agreed, I use studio monitors now. But if I were to go with a 2.1 setup, the Klipsh is what I would go for.  They're a good 2.1 for the money, much better than Logitech or simiar.
