Best sound system for around £50?Looking for a decent 2.1 sound system for cheapish. My sister wants something that's simular quality to mine (but mine was £250) for cheapish. I told she'd be better off not getting an iPod dock and getting a sound system the running the headphone jack to it.

You wont find a good set of 2.1's for 50 quid. Get the creative Gigaworks T20

Re: Best sound system for around £50?Doesn't have to be "good". Just good enough for Pop tunes and lots of base.(Original post by ELs123)

Re: Best sound system for around £50?Have you had a look at Logitech? I've had mine from there for about a year and had no problems with them.

Re: Best sound system for around £50?For that price I'd say you could grab yourself a set of Logitech X-540s (they're 5.1 rather than 2.1, but you can always just not plug in the surround speakers). You can get a set used around 50 or 60 quid, and they blow just about everything else in the price range out of the water. Obviously no comparison to a £300+ set of speakers, but for the price, the do what they do pretty damned well! They're marketed as computer speakers but I use mine for just about everything from listening to music to watching films and playing games. And for such small speakers, they go LOUD.

Re: Best sound system for around £50?Based on the idea that they require a fairly rounded sound (if pop means synth/house/electronic etc), then I would recommend some Behringers but I'm not sure if you're looking for computer speakers or something stand alone to just put the MP3 player into. If not, then take a look at these Wharfedales (which I was actually pretty surprised to see as cheap as listed).(Original post by Camoxide)

Hope that helps.
Wouldn't discount those Corsairs though.Last edited by ANARCHY__; 23-04-2012 at 18:35. -

Re: Best sound system for around £50?Needs an amp with those though. The Amptastic Mini T amp would be pretty good, but that amp prefers 8 ohms, but 6 shouldn't be too bad. But the amp is £65 which now doubles the budget. But that would probably sound very good for £100.(Original post by ANARCHY__)

Re: Best sound system for around £50?Ah, good point. I'd completely forgot about adding in an amp. Mind if I ask you a question over PM (I don't want to take away from the OP's topic)?(Original post by SMed)

(unless this is about something else)
