Mine are old as hell, left one died.
Going to get a set of 2.1 speakers (2 Speakers + Sub-woofer).
Looking to spend $60 OR LESS.

Here are some choices I've made, help me decide/suggest others.
Included name, price, basic specs. (And link to specs)


Logitech Z523 40 Watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System REFURBISHED for $50 (Worth ~$75, so good deal here)
Satellites:
2 x 9.5 watts (RMS) (into 4 ohms, @1kHz, @10% THD)

Subwoofer:
21 watts (RMS) (into 6 ohms, @100Hz, @10% THD)

Frequency:
48 Hz – 20 kHz

Specs: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/5861

Also, lower speced logitech speakres (they all have great reviews and come at good prices too, I've linked to their specs on the actual logeitech website, but the prices are from 3rd party sellers [cheaper than actual logitech website]). Basically the question between all the logitechs which should I get? Is paying the extra ~$10 between versions worth it?

Hmm… Let me look at my 2.1 system. I've had it for 12 years, used every day just about still using it. O.o

*looks* oh its Kenwood. Makes sense.

Edit:
You check Newegg for reviews and rating? Usually very good reviews there.

Every model of logitech has 5 eggs (some have 4 I think) but pretty much all reviews about them are great. The refurbished pair selling on amazon is from a guy who has 100% positive rating so in thinking about getting those. I'll look up Kenwood too though.

Yeah I looked up Kenwood, but so far all I've found is speakers for cars now. Guess they got out of the computer speakers… Glad I still have em, 12 years still work awesome. I've been debating many times on getting new ones but these just work so damn well lol.
