    i was thinking of purchasing that 2.1 but i think that sub is way to big for my needs of a tiny *** dorm room. I have read a lot of reviews and most love those but be prepared for the bass.

    You can get 5.1 sound out of the dv5t by using the HDMI port, though I don't know any speaker systems that have an HDMI port . . .

    I highly recommend the Z-2300 speakers though. They have powerful, good sound quality and great bass. I have owned mine for over two years, and would absolutely buy them again if I was in the market.

    What are good 2.1 speakers for the dv5t if you're on a budget-budget, like perhaps $30 or less? Or are there no speakers worth getting in that price range?


    EDIT: By the way, are the Logitech X-230's no longer in production? I read a bit about them but I can't seem to find them in stock anymore.

    If the X-230's are discontinued, do you know any speakers that are similar to them in both sound quality and price range?


    EDIT: Hmmm, on Newegg, the Logitech S-220's seem like they get good reviews. Anyone know anything about them? Only $21 o_O


    EDIT: Hmmm, or what about the Logitech X-210's?

    I would probably go for the s-220's. It looks pretty simular to the x-240 but the x-240 has a little more power. The reviews seem to favor s-220's maybe its cause theyre cheaper.

    Great choice! I've had my Z-2300 speakers for over a year now and they have not once dissapointed me.

    I don't know if you've ordered yet or not, but check Amazon for pricing. When they're in stock by Amazon, they usually sell around $77 with free shipping and no tax.

    EDIT: Right now they're $78.17 on Amazon with free shipping and no tax

    So it seems like the X-230s are discontinued, the S-220s are pretty good, and no one has any opinions on the X-210s?

    And should I start my own thread for this? This is also in regards to a cheap 2.1 system for the HP dv5t, but I feel as if I'm hijacking his thread.
