I want to get a 5.1 speaker setup for my Home pC....Uptill now i was thinking mainly about getting the Logi Z5300....

But doing some research i came up with the Creative Gigaworks 500 also as an option...

Now i am way to confused as to which one to go for.... I don't even know if the Creative ones are available here or not...

Any other suggestions for a 5.1 speaker setup are welcome... I can spend somewhere slightly around 12k... So cant go for the Z5500's...

Would be mainly using the speakers for listning to music.....

You will be able to get the wharfdale 8.1 bookshelfs for just around 12-12.5k. But the problem is you will require a stereo amp or an AV reciever to drive these. if you have one then g8 or else stick to logitech's

edit: if you are not into multichannel audio you can consider the altec lansing mx5021 also.
 
i have the the z5300's got them for 12k a year back, speakers r gr8, bass si suprb, woofer is big, and the box it comes in can house a cabby+ crt monitor...

speakers r gr8 for music/movies, u can feel the shockwaves while playn games..... in all speakers r great, but the wires r a bit too short.. if u r gonna set it up around your room, u can always get additional wiring.... (cheap wiring will giv amp alotta load)
 
well..ive read on some forums that the Z5300 arent really that impressive for music.. that is why i got doubleminded over them...
 
The Z5300 sound too boomy....lacks clarity . I will suggest u to try the Altec Lansing 5.1 range...no idea abt the price of models such as FX5021 though :p
 
The best thing would be listen to both of them .... z5300 and mx5021. u can com over to mumbai ... i hv z5300 .... ;)

Its true that z5300 has very powerful bass ... it overpowers the treble.

You can use a player like FB2k and adjust the equalizer to suite your taste!!!!:)
 
get a friggin amp ill get ya a nice wharfdale deal
and btw @ everyone
any audiophile will tell ya to buy the best of the brands ( be it second hand) den buy new branded crap.period:cool2:
 
a) you have a budget of 12 k

b) you are going to listen to music mostly

I would strongly recommend that you ask yourself why you need 5.1

because , at this budget , you are not far away from audio nirvana in stereo
 
I am gettin a 5.1 cause i have a good room to myself in which i can place speakers as per my choice and i like to listen to music in good quality..

eeeks stop! More channels do not mean more quality. :p
 
If its purely for music, then go for stereo, invest in a decent amp and speakers.

If you are looking for movies>games>music, then go for 5.1
