As the title suggests I need new speakers.
So far I have looked at 5.1 systems up to £80 (which is my limit) and have some choices.
btw some of the reviews I have seen have not been very generous to 5.1 at this price level and that getting a quality 2 speaker setup would be better, your opinions on this would be helpful.
The choices are:

Creative 5.1 5300 - £60
Logitech Z-640 - £60
Videologic ZXR 500- £70
ZXR 550- £80
Hercules XPS 510 - £?

Now the ZXR 550 is said to support dolby digital, DTS and pro logic, Im not sure if this is true for the others though :)
I will be using these speakers predominently for gaming (Unreal 2003 etc) and also music and dvd's (but less important)

At the moment I have a sound blaster live 5.1 digital but I will be prolly upgrading that soon to the audigy or something similar.

As always any opinion welcomed :)

I really don't know how all of them work but we got 2 different sets of Creative speakers here and they really sound good.
They have really awesome bass effects, with those speakers you wont be avoiding missiles because you want to hear them blow up as loud as you can. :D
