[dba-Tech] Phonographs to CDs

I have the X220 speakers here at work, they're fantastic... and only cost me
£30 from Amazon.

I have Creative 5.1 surround on my home pc, and the sound is just amazing...
only problem I had was with the volume control... the MGM lion roared so
loudly in the centre of my head that I near shit a brick, and my housemates
came rushing upstairs to find out what the shouting was about... turned it
down after that ;-)

IIRC, a review of the 2.1 Logitech Z-2200 (~$150 USD, THX certified if that
interests you) indicated that the components are virtually identical to
their top of the line 5.1 system Logitech Z-680.  Since I mainly utilize
headphones when using my PC, I didn't have the need for a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1
system and can personally say that I haven't regretted purchasing the
Logitech Z-2200 set.  In fact, I like them so much I am considering
replacing my current home entertainment speakers with the Logitech Z-680.
Although it was a fluke when it happened, I was convinced after hearing the
difference that the Logitech subwoofer made.  I had been watching TV when my
daughters came in and wanted control to watch a DVD.  I moved my viewing to
the PC.  When my daughters left the room, they left the TV tuned to the same
channel I was watching previously.  Before switching back to the TV, I
accidentally unplugged my headphones, which let the 2.1 Logitech Z-2200 do
their thing.  I was startled at the difference.  I hadn't realized just how
"out-of-date" my current setup was.

Anyway, enough rambling, there are plenty of brands and opinions out there,
just thought I'd share mine;)
