The creative series of 2.1 speakers will be around 2000 bucks. The SB370 (I think!!!) is around 1600 Rs.

Ummm nothing to offend but i really suggest y dont you start by making your own speaker system. 1K is too low an amount to really get something discussable let alone noticable . But this will make you famous in you galli.
Take some local Speaker Cone for 400 Rupees. Add to it a Local Amplifier and you will be set for good at around 1200 Maximum.

when i said nalla i meant that only for intex :p
tho those low end artis speakers arent gr8 .. they are make do !!!
atleas i dun like them
build quality sucks
bass is .... well .. muffled ... and tearing and sometimes not present
and the satellites tear at a lil high volume
they basically cant adjust to all the frequencies well

now if ur comparing this to any creative/altec lansing
they are nalla only :p
:D
i mean only this one set of artis speakers id seen
dunno abt the other models
anwyays i agree artis is better then the ones mentioned in the above few posts
viz
INTEX, FRONTECH, etc
so go for artis if nuthing else

[EDIT again] shees tired of finding new things
in a 4.1 test the frontech's DID beat the artis !

the fact still remains i consider all these brands nalla ... just personally !
when u hear good sound .... as the way its supposed to be .. ud say the same :) :D

Think Raven is right here about Artis . Coz Artis build quality is really lacking. I had long time back Mercury 5.1 and boy did they resemble Artis Speakers 5.1 .exactly only for the name.
Only latter i came to know Mercury and Artis source their speakers from the same manufactureres ( Chinese ) and sell them under diferent Brand Name ..
