prolly gonna be a long shot, but anything similar would work too.
aux input and RCA input would be perfect.
the cheaper the better

bump.
a decent set of computer speakers would suffice as well, something thats got a sub with it.

$30 is pretty cheap.

I don’t have one for sale but if you look around you can find one of these for around 300 bucks. it is a killer system for the money. I have one in my bedroom that is 3 years old and one in the livingroom that is about 2.5 years. both work flawlessly and have outstanding sound quality.

cheap is relative. I would rather not have speakers than have a shitty pair. So to me 300 is cheap. Audio is a topic where there is something for literally any amount of money you want to spend.

when you sort by rating these are the two that come in at the top 2

this was the first 5.1 setup I had. It has decent sound. I am pretty sure there is a 2.1 version of it that is less expensive but is still the same build quality I just don’t know the model off hand.

While I agree about the audio, I was basing it off of the $50 set he posted.

I don’t usually care too much about how my PC speakers look, but damn they went out of their way to make those XA3021’s the ugliest set of speakers ever made.

I am running the smaller XA2021’s which I paid around $30. Which are fine for the occasional listen. While gaming I prefer headphones though. Picked up a set of $90 Plantronics for that.
