Hi Folks,

Sadly i sold my Logitech Z2300 2.1 Speakers & now thinking to upgrade to something bigger. I already have a Asus Xonar DX 7.1 Sound Card with me.

Now i just want to move out from the era of Logitech's & Altec lansing's. Suggest me something different. Suggest either a powerful 2.1 or 5.1 Speaker System.

Purpose :

Music - Hard Metal, Techno & Trance.

Movies - Mostly HD Movies.

Games - FPS & Racing Genre's

Budget : 15k-25k

Currently eyeing towards Bose Companion™ 5 Multimedia Speaker System priced at 25k.

If nothings comes out then probably go with some 5.1 Headphones atleast.

Anyway, just feed in your comments.

Being had your Z2300, i think its time to move onto 5.1/7.1..

Bose Companion 5 is not gonna satisfy you for 25K..

2.1 & 5.1 both are in different league and taste . I would suggest Edifier S 550 it's more musical than Logitech Z 5500 and the bass is also tight .

Thanks for the inputs & suggestion fellas.

I'm looking forward for buying a 5.1. As of now Edifier s550 is currently in the hitlist.

But finding them locally is big issue here. I've checked with Golcha IT & they don't have this model in stock.

They have C6 & DA Pro 5000, but i don't want them.

If any other model can be taken into account, then feel free to post here.

@kai840 : As mentioned earlier, i was having Z2300 2.1 & it was monster when paired with Xonar DX [Personal experience]. Creative Gigaworks T3 & Corsair SP2500 are in the same league. So won't opt for them.

@d3p , If you upgrade your Sound Card also to Asus Xonar D2x than it's a awesome combination for Edifier s550.
