Default Logitech Z-2300 2.1 OR G51 5.1

im deciding on these two.

Currently i have a 2.1 setup - old sony speakers with a crappy subwoofer all connected to a 60cd changer

I never really listened to 5.1 in my room and i don't know if its worth getting.
I know the Z speakers are alot better but its only 2.1, who thinks i should step up to 5.1 or stick with the really good 2.1

I have the Logitech X-530 system and I really like it. My room is rather small so it fits perfectly. When you choose a system take into factor how big of a room you want to put it in. That being said, 5.1 is really nice for movies and games.

I love my z-5300 5.1 setup. Great for games and if you up mix for music, it provides a much better listening experience.

Either way, you will be happy

Its worth it but only if you have the space to set them up properly.If not stick with 2.1's.Thats how im using my logitech Z5300e 5.1,s(what a waste)I really want a set of Z5500 but i dont have the space to set them up the right way .So im sticking to my Z5300e's even though they are 5.1's i only have the sub and two speakers hooked up
