What is the best 2.1 speaker system Microlab or Creative?

shehan.wik

I'm gonna buy a speaker system which is below USD 400. So recommend me a speaker to buy Creative SBS A300 or Microlab M-500.

Answer
I have used and still using Creative Inspire 4.1 and 7.1. True value for money and works like a charm when coupled with Creative Sound blaster sound cards.

Can a 5.1 Computer Speaker system (like Logitech or Creative) deliver a good movie surround sound experience?

trer

I have a 32" LCD TV and I was thinking about getting a 5.1 system (logitech or creative) to get surround sound for movies. However, I don't want to go all out for a high powered home theatre system from Onkyo or Sony or something. $59.99-$99.99 for a simple 5.1 system sounds more palatable to me than $199+. And since I don't have a big place, I don't need the huge speakers. However, do the computer speakers deliver a credible surround sound experience?

Answer
Hi!
I will try to provide as unbiased and honest an answer as possible...

If you want an all in 1 solution on a lower budget, then Logictech or Creative are good options... They are designed for game playback though, and as a result, will be "boomy" or more thunderous than a component audio system would offer.
Seeing as you spent a good amount of money on your TV (LCD's aren't "cheap") why not do your TV (and your ears) a favor, and live with the TV speakers for a few extra weeks until you can save ~$500 for a good quality home theater in a box (htib) solution from someone like Panasonic or even Sony. Trust me, the sound will be much more commensurate to audio/video watching/listening than a computer sound system would be. I relate those computer sound systems to Bose in terms of audio performance (this is NOT a good thing!) for home theater environments... BOOM without much emotion... Find it in yourself to save some extra dough and buy a system dedicated to a living/bed room environment and you will be much more satisfied with the overall listening arrangement!
