I am already have a philips (HTS 5100) setup with my PC for watching movies.

I really need a best 2.1 speaker setup to listening music with excellent EXCELLENT Excellent QUALITY……………

Price range should be 12 to 15k..

I am in the mind that to brought the Altec MX-5021 THX, but my collegue said that nowadays the Quality of these are crapped a lot!!!!!

Please help me to choose the simple MX-5021 or any other setups: NOTE: I am chennai, please tell me the shops that available?

Why do you want to waste money on that. Paying anything more than 5k for a 2.1 setup is just waste of money.

THX etc are useful only for 5.1 or bigger setup.

Philips MMS430 and Logitech Z-2300 are the models you can look for.

Seriously, put that money somewhere else. Take music classes and buy instrument like a guitar. That will be much much more fun than buying another pair of 2.1 speakers.

+1 what desi said!
However, as u are really interested to go for 2.1 setup, then u can either go for Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 series, Bose or few custom setups like,
1. JBL Balboa 10
2. Jamo S202 or S204 !
Couple them with any typical 200W amp and u are in for a sound tr8! :D
