Question 2.1 Speakers for PC

[qugogato]

Hi Guys

Looking for some new 2.1 speakers for use with my PC and would welcome some suggestions.

Looking at £100 max for budget.

Currently using a set of Logitech Z4's which are well over 10 years old now.

Many thanks

For overall sound quality but lack heavy bass.

JBL 1 Series 104's ~ £100
+Highly detailed sound and with unmatched clarity and separation, nothing under $250 can touch them in this aspect.
+Punchy tight bass that far exceeds the physical size.
-Lack Projection best if placed 3-4 feet apart and in a Triangle shape to create a sweet spot.
- Lacks the immersive sound you would want for Theater and Gaming, what they have is good but not fantastic
.
These are monitors they are not tuned to benefit any sound range.

Creative T100 ~£87
+Rich sound quality with great separation.
+Punchy adequate Bass for the small size
+Good Projection at around 8 feet with a much larger sweet spot for listening.
+Tuned for immersion
+ Includes USB 5.0 connection options
+Can play Flac, MP3 and Wav from a USB stick
+Includes a Remote
-Status light stays on all the time which can be annoying

These are multimedia speakers with an onboard audio processor, they are best for multimedia applications but fall behind if critical listening is your main aspect.

Monoprice MM-3 ~£96
+Great separation and overall sound quality
+Punchy Bass that gets far lower than both the above.
+Very good Projection at around 12 Feet
+Great soundstage and immersion for a monitor.
+ Includes USB 4.2 with aptX
+It's possible to add a Sub.

Better than the T100's at Critical listening
Better than the JBL's for theater and gaming immersion.
