I think it's time to buy new speakers. The ones I have now are pretty OLD and I wouldn't MIND a new speaker system now that the one I have was damaged by lightning, I think. I have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Extigy so I WOULD prefer Creative speakers. Also, I don't have much room in my room so 2.0 or 2.1 speakers with a subwoofer is best. Actually, I'm looking now and 5.1 might work, it would require some wiring, but I think I would be ABLE to pull it off. So, if you know a good speaker system with a decent wattage and decently priced ($100 is the max I would probably spend, but I have a job so I can stretch that a bit if need be, just no speaker over $200). TIA.Also, if there is a nice pair of 5.1 wireless speakers that would be best so I wouldn't have to go through the attic or make a wire mess in my room. But, something tells me a pair of wireless speakers would be costly.Well for about $150.00 you can get the incredible Logitech Z-5300e (280 watts, THX CERTIFIED!!!) speaker system. It truly is a marvel speaker system, and guaranteed to please.
