Hi all,
I am currently searching for a new set of speakers for my PC to replace my old Logitech 5.1 system that has lasted me well for about 12 years. I've been doing a bit of research and am still having a hard time deciding what to purchase. I've been reading a lot about 2.0 and 2.1 systems and have read a lot about 2.0 systems lacking bass as a result of there being no dedicated sub. Currently my speakers are setup on my desk with the sub sitting under my desk.
Have these in mind thus far:
Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II - 2.0

Logitech Z623 - 2.1

I was almost settled on the Creative t40's as they look fantastic and will take up less space than my current speakers. I've read several reviews saying wonders about them, some saying the bass is as much as you'll need as well as others saying the bass is lacking in comparison to 2.1 systems with dedicated subs. However, with my setup currently, with the sub sitting under the desk, I only ever have the bass at about 10-20% which is plenty for me hence why I opted for a 2.0 setup. So basically my question is this - are 2.0 systems worth going for or are they not good enough of a compromise to forgo a dedicated subwoofer even if the sub is only being used at a fraction of its potential.
Obviously it would be nice to test a number of setups to see what sounds the best personally but that just isn't possible.
If anyone has any suggestions on any speaker systems that would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking to spend between 100$ - 200$ Australian
Cheers
