Hey guys

After getting flamed by all of you for trying to purchase super cheapo speakers at 1000 I decided to up my budget a little and go for some sensible 2.1 systems. I mainly need a speaker since the speakers on my laptop are a disgrace to speakers everywhere. I'll be usually listening to songs on these or playing the ocassional game - rocksmith mainly.

It finally has come down to choosing one of the below

1. Creative SBS A335 Multimedia Speakers: highest RMS at 5W satellite and 11W sub, creative brand name, what I don't like is an exposed subwoofer diaphragm and the fact that they are overcharging me for the creative brand at 1.6k

2. Edifier X100: Slightly less power than the creatives, has a wooden body and a pretty good SNR. The downside is the lack of a wired volume control and there is no bass control at all. Everyone on the digit forums loves Edifier so am considering this :) again at 1.6k

What would you all suggest? plus is there a good speaker that I am missing? perhaps a umax or an Altec Lansing?

Its better to go with a wired volume control so Creative SBS A335 @ 1.45k is best I think so.

The wired controller is a very useful thing. That was my main concern, is the edifier so good that i disregard the wired controller, higher power and brand name of the creative set

Can't seem to find these on flipkart. Plus the other ones at 1.4k seem to have really bad reviews
