Well I've been looking for some myself and found these in the latest issue of PC Gamer UK.

Videologic ZHR-550 (www.pure-digital.com) - 5.1 Speakers, silver
I'll try to get a copy of the review, but it is a glowing one compared to what some of their hardware reviews have been in the past, but here's a quote from near the end

"Performance-wise, the ZHR-550 is on a level with Creative's 5.1 speaker series, so if you're eager to buy a new multimedia system, this comes heartily recommended"

Price tag recorded is £80, so if you don't really care about the difference of 5.1 and 6.1 these are some pretty good speakers and you can still have £20 in your pocket, probably to get some more RAM for your PC at the same time

i'm looking at getting some new speakers. i've got a budget of about £50/£60. i was thinking about getting a set of video logic ZXR-500s, on the puredigital[video logic] site there's loads of good reveiws on them by magazines, but the reveiw of them on tomshardware.com says they aren't very good. so i son't realy know which ones to get.

one of my mates uses and recommends Creative Inspire 5100 5.1 speakers, but i'm not to sure about them

anyone on here use either sets of speakers?

("couldn't find sever", hopes this isn't a double post)

i just spoke to my mate that has the 5.1 speakers , and he sais they are great for the price and worth it ... but he said if ya got the money its worth going for the 6.1 at 87 off amazon ... so i think im gonna do that
