Hey I just got a new computer and I listen to alot of music and watch movies on it. I just wanted to know what the best sound system under $200 is (I only want 2 speakers and maybe a sub). So far Im leanining towards audioengine A2's but also hear that klipsch promedia 2.1's are suppose to be really nice. I know bose, logitech, altec lansing all make similar products. Anyone have any experience with any of these, currently I have altec lansing 5.1 system, but only 2 speakers work on it and its too many wires. Any advice would be helpful thanks.■

Only problem is that I don't have enough space for a 5.1 system, and would like the keep wires to a minimum. Thanks for the advice though. Anyone know any good 2.1 systems?

I would never spend that much money on cheap speakers with full range ceap-o drivers.

Ebay a used Yamaha, Pioneer, onkyo, H&K (list goes on and on) for $100 and spend the other $100 on a set of BestBuy Insignia 6 1/2" speakers.

Way better quality and diversity.

For 2.1 I recommend creative i-trigue speakers (L3800). For desktop use
gigaworks 2.0 seems very cool, too, as long as you want to remain within the budget anyway. This article ere might help:
