    I found Logitech Z-Cinema for $105 after MIR, 18$ shipping and G51 for 90$ after MIR also, free shipping.
    I dont like to deal with wires, however, quality go first!
    So what do you suggest me?

    IMO the Z-5300 > both and is around the same price. Or go the extra mile and get a Z-5500

    the z5500 is $217 right now on amazon. i got mine this past august for $189 from amazon.

    they're double the price of what you're looking to spend but definitely worth it, imo. this system was $399 for so long when they came out. at $189 or $217, it's a bargain for the quality you get.

    I can tell you from very positive personal experience that Z-5500 is your best bang for the buck. Some people buy this system as their HTS for their living room - its that good. This is the one purchase you will not regret. And it will last you forever. Its not like speakers go out of style with time - music is music. (as proven by my fathers 15 year-old multi-component 2000Watt Technics sound system).

    If you want to go for 2.1, I would just go with the Z-2300. They are a bit more powerful and well, lack what I consider to be useless features of the Z-Cinema.

    If you want 5.1, I would just go for the Z-5500.

    Decide about the number of speakers you need/want, and then pick one of the above.

    Personally, I have a 2.1 setup for my PC and will be purchasing a 5.1 system for my home theater that I hope to have.

    The 2.1 setup is a set of Logitech Z-4s, which get pretty loud and do marginally rock the house. I used to own the Z-2200 and these just can't keep up with those; I am very high on the 2200 and thus the 2300.

    The 5.1 setup will be your typical HTIB system... first gotta get an HDTV though. :p
