K guys since i have a good music system at home (Sony MHC-GN100D), i thought i wont spend too much for my room. At first i was lookin for surround, but there is a severe lack of decent 5.1 products in the 7-10 k range . This is what i hate bout our country, we have such a hard time finding quality electronic goods everywhere :(, for everythin else India rocks :p . The bass from the subs sound just too hollow and the speakers too dont quite make the cut. So i decided to head into the 2.1 zone.
So initially i was lookin at Klipsch PM 2.1, but they are old and hard to find arnd here . Another speaker that caught my eye was the M-Audio AV40, again a lil steep pricing and not totally recommended unless u are a producer.
Creative is crap in this range so i wont be buyin any from their stable.
So i have zero'ed down on MX5021's and the Z2300's. They are of decent quality and price.
I would also however like to avoid Logitechs cause they have only one good product - the z5500's.
So help me make my decision, all the reviews for the MX5021's point me to old ones from the year 2004. Is this the same model that currently retails in the market ? if not then which one is it ? point me to some reviews please.
Also i listen to a lot of music/watch movies, tv shows + play games so i need a bit more than average performance for the price of around 10k.
The Z2300 reviews are decent but i would really like to avoid these even though i love some hardcore kicks from the sub :p
So please clear this dilemma of mine once and for all and suggest what you would buy if you wanted quality in 10k. Please do not exceed this budget cause i wanna buy a new GPU too.
Thanks to everyone who replies in advance.

Almost forgot a part of my money has been set aside for the Xonar DX so suggest a non card-speaker combo.

IN SHORT WHAT IS BETTER OVERALL THE MX5021 or the Z2300 ???
ALSO WHAT WOULD YOU GET IF U HAD 10K ??
 
made up my mind after reading countless reviews, the winner is the MX5021. Shud be gettin it in a week or so :p
 
^More importantly, Promedia 2.1 is EOL. Used to be the best 2.1 speakers when it was around. The GMX almost retails for the same price as the Promedia 2.1 did but nowhere in competition to the former.
