Recommended speakers

Go to solution Solved by spellmanuk,

okay I know you said you want 2.1 but I use these as my daily driver speakers on my system ( i can't stand wearing headphones when I don't need to) and they serve me really well especially for the price I've had them for about 18 months + and they are still going strong they sell them as monitors and they could be used for that in an amiture situation but they are more on the side of multimedia speakers good for games music films youtube and they go neighbours banging on your door loud (dont ask how i know that :P)

Hey, I want some of your's opinions on these 2 different speaker systems: Logitech Z623 and the Arion Legacy Deep Sonar 750.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arion-Legacy-Subwoofers-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00U7HQWU8/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477132968&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=ARION+LEGACY+DEEP+SONAR+550

 

Both are of good price, both have good reviews. The only notable cons for the Logitech are that the cables might be a bit short with 5 feet and non extendable due to the "VGA like"  cable that it uses. The pros for the Logitech are that they 34 W more overall. But this seems bit redundant as I had 25W speakers and they suited me just fine. This is more asking people for their own views and maybe some of you have/had these. Cheers.

The Arion don't have good reviews on Amazon.com here .

 

I'd highly recommend the Z623's (I own).

 

The only down side is that you should use your keyboard or Windows to raise and lower the volume as the POTS on the right speaker eventually get weak causing volume adjustment issues.
