Default logitech x-530 5.1 speaker

they have this huge sale at an electronic store near my house, and i want to make sure this is a good buy.

i already have the altec lansing 251 for 3 years now, and ever since i bought them i was disapointed.

so what do you think

How much are you going to pay for these speakers? I have the same set and I cant say enough good things about them. Good for it!

Thumbs up

I have them setting on my desk right now. They're great speakers, but I can't mount them yet. You want to be able to mount them quick, or esle people will trip over the cables and drop your precious speakers

Dang, I wish I would have bought from buy.com. I got mine from newegg about a month ago for 49.99+shipping. But I cant complain as I would have paid well over $50 for these.

remember that the price i said is in canadian device. so it is normal that it is higher. 34$ seems a really good price though

now they are 60$usd on buy.com

apparently, this is not a deal that good. after some research, i found them at a couple of places at the same price, without deal.

i'm buying them anyway. i can't wait to try them and annoy my upstairs neighbor who walks with her shoes on at 5am, waking me up every ****ing time.

I have the 2.1 version(X-230), and it's incredible. I assume that the 5.1 is amazing too, since it uses the same sub and satellites.
