The best value for money is the Creative 5.1 Inspire series @ 4-4.5K
A couple of links and my reviews available here

plasmafire · 27-03-2005, 04:44 PM

i want to also connect to my dvd player.. so

<quote>
Of course, there's no easy way to connect these to a DVD player or home stereo system without a computer. Even with a receiver, you won't get the RCA or stereo jack outputs that these accept, so you'll basically need to feed any of that through your computer (you can use an external DVD player with digital output with a SB Audigy or similar card that has SPDIF input).

this disturbs me

You can, provided your DVD player has 5.1 output. Otherwise you get splitters to divide output amongst the speakers. No 5.1, just sourround sound.

Whats generally available here is the 5200. Since your player has 6 channels, you have to buy a joiner joining two channels to one. It costs Rs50/cable.

Creative indpire (i heard 2.1) has useless quality sound and bass.

Take a look at Altec Lansing 251 or Logitech x530,buy only with others advice as well as I haven't heard them

suave_guy · 27-03-2005, 06:14 PM

buy Altec Lansing 251 and buy Altec Lansing 'AAC1 Y-adapter ' and use it to connect ur speakers to ur dvd player and it can also be used to connect ur speakers to gaming consoles....
