for 4 grands you can get a 5.1 sound system. Go in for a Creative 5.1 T6060 or something, also Logitech X-540 5.1's. Both are good, but I'd recommend Creative.

You can also add Altec Lansing Speakers.

fyi, x-540 is lot better when compared to T6060,with very clear and crisp audio. Creative used to make good speakers earlier but donno what happened, their speakers suck now. No real competitor to Al's and Logitechs.

i have Creative T6060 speakers. The bass is overdone nd not tight enuf. But X540's bass too isnt tight enuf.
X540 has exceptional treble with its dual neodimium drivers on each satellites.
X530's nd 540's woofer is too delicate on sides, so adds much to reverbration. So bass gets muddy. T6060's woofer is lil better, but cant justify enuf.

if u wanr the speakers just for music, i wud suggest getting a music system speakers or a good assembled one with quality amplifiers. Also look for wooden boxes for fitting the speakers.

If u still want a 2.1, then Altec lansing ATP3 wud be the best choice @ 2.7k

^^ ATP3, I think is out of production. for pure 2.1, also check Philips MMS430. Very loud and clear audio quality. This one's direct competitor to ATP3, thanks to it's extremely balanced bass,treble and mids.

distorts at 60%??

I don't think so. I have this set and lot of times I turn up the full volume. Lot of times I can't even go to full volume coz at the half way mark, it's extremely loud.

It does not have weak bass. What Philips did is it configured sub to be on same level with the satellites. That way, though you get lot of bass, you will not lose those very important mids and highs.

Creative gigaworks T40

How much is this one?? if you can get it inside your budget, then it will be one hell of a buy. :)

AL 2100 also looks good but don't know how good it's sound is.
