Don't have speakers, would like some!

I don't have much of a clue regarding speakers. My budget is around 30£. 2.1 speakers look the most appealing to me as I really wouldn't know where to put 5.1 speakers but would I really need a subwoofer or a bass i.e. the .1 bit? Excuse my ignorance! These sort of caught my eye as did these.

One thing I've noticed is that THX certified speakers have amazing sound. If you can find this cert, regardless of branding, you'll have a very nice sounding speaker. ydnarrewop

While I wouldn't normally recommend PCWorld due to their prices, they do have a few options around the £30 mark, and if there is one near you, will avoid the delivery costs - something you would need to add to the speakers from Scan.

LOGITECH Z323 2.1 PC Speakers - £34.99

30W RMS 2.1 speaker system, and while I don't know how reliable the reevoo rating is, it has 8.9/10 from over 100 user reviews. Price and expectations will obviously vary, but it is a well known brand and decent Wattage for the price.

Even managed to find a Creative 5.1 speaker system for just under £30 - CREATIVE A520 5.1 PC Speakers

You won't get good sounding speakers for £30.

You'd be better off looking on ebay for a hi-fi amp and some speakers.

Alternatively, headphones will give you far better sound for your money.

Fot the past 10 years,there is no speaker connected to my pc on my desk. There is only a good headset. It does the job far better then speakers.

Whoops, forgot to update this topic. I ended up buying the Microlab M700 2.1 speaker system from Scan for 27.74£ and I absolutely love them. Thanks again for all the responses!

Buy a stereo amp and some hi-fi speakers on ebay/car boot sale.

It will sound far better than any logitech set.
