$50

The Z313 is the entry-level pick. At ~$50 it's roughly a quarter the price of the next-cheapest pick. Plug-and-play 2.1 with a small sub — adequate for casual use, dorms, kids' setups. Outgrown faster than every other pick here.

Higher ratedRanked #3 in Best Computer Speakers with Subwoofer

Logitech Z906

4.6

$400

The Z906 is the surround pick. The only true 5.1 system in this round-up — THX, Dolby Digital, and DTS certified, with optical and coaxial digital inputs for game consoles and media players. Setup commitment is real (6 boxes + cables), but for desktop surround gaming nothing else here competes.

Strengths

— 5.1 surround — only true surround pick here
— THX, Dolby Digital, and DTS certified
— 500W RMS / 1000W peak total — most power in this lineup

Watch-outs

— $400 is the most expensive pick — and you give up two-channel music quality vs the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
— Cables run for 5 satellites + sub — major setup commitment
— Older platform — no HDMI input, no wireless rears
