Kinda sorta girlfriend had a pair of Logitech Z623s and she had them for...less then half a week before they broke on her, she returned them and is looking for other ideas on what to get.

Shes looking for about $170 Canadian dollars.

 

I'd happily help her out but I  frankly dunno much about sound setups, so figured id ask here, maybe give her some ideas.

I have the Z623's and love them but I may try the $130 choice below. The Z623's are pretty good - i think she just got unlucky.


 


$130 = Build your own 150wRMS 8 inch down firing long throw sub + 2x 4.5" two-way satellites


 


Full list of commonly talked about options if you like

The sub on hers went and it seems to be a common fault according to her research, and shes not interested in rolling the dice again.

The sub in this setup is absolutely fantastic, I don't have the speakers themselves but I do use Klipsh speakers and their speakers are great.

Well I would suggest looking into Klipsh, their speakers are some of the best I have seen, beats JBL... My rear speakers are JBL, they might be worth looking into as well.

Edit: NVM on JBL, most of their stuff is way to expensive.

I think 2.1 is fine, her only complaint with the logitechs were they broke.
