My friend is offering 1 year old F&D F6000 5.1 speaker system for Rs 4500 (good condition) whereas a new creative SBS 335 2.1 system is readily available for Rs 1400 in nearby market . I am using lenovo Z580-59333346 laptop (stereo sound) so i won't be able to hook it up in 5.1 mode with F&D 6000
But the temptation of initially using F&D as 2.1 system is holding me from buying creative system as the unused central speaker and rear speakers will prove useful in upcoming years (with led tv) .
I am not an audiophile , i will use speakers mainly for gaming/music on weekends only . Room size is 144 sq feet (approx.). I have used creative sbs 330 before and they performed excellently for about 7 years ( the infamous volume knob disease eventually contracted them :-( )

What's the opinion of thinkdigitians ?

(NOTE - I won't buy that creative sound blaster x-fi pro card for laptop as its simply stupidly priced product.)

There is nothing to be thought of. Get the F&D F6000 5.1 if you can.

Bought FandD A510 for 1900/- (didn't wanted to take risk of buying a used F 6000 )
