Default How does G51's Compare to High Quality Small Bookshelf Speakers?

I'm ordering next Friday and I'm stuck on what to get...again . I've mainly been focused on Audioengine A2 Bookshelf speakers, I've heard they are of great quality and pack a punch for such small speakers, their built in sub woofer is supposed to be excellent and accurate. But when browsing I came around the Logitech G51's which are slightly cheaper than normal £83, where the Audio engine A2's are £110.

I cant help but get tempted by the G51's. How do these two types of speakers compare in quality of sound, I not bothered by surround sound.

I haven't heard the G51, but I can say with fair certainty that any speakers deigned to be computer speakers will not be as good as a good bookshelf monitor

I'd say they wouldn't compare.
