I'm planning on getting some new speakers in the next few days and I'm stuck between two completely different setups and brands. So my brother has some Logitech x-540's he doesn't need which I can purchase off him for $80. I've been trying them out a bit, playing some music, some 5.1 games and they're not bad, the music doesn't sound that great from them though.

And the other speakers I'm looking at are Edifier C2 2.1's and will cost about a $140ish, the best part about them is the separate amp and the remote.http://www.fishpond.co.nz/Electronics/Computing/Computer_Accessories/PC_Speakers/6923520260645/?cf=3&rid=1350819304&i=1&keywords=edifier+c2

5.1 isn't really necessary due to the room size they will be in and the cables and extra speakers would be a bit cluttering.I've personally come to believe that the edifier's will have better quality but for the price is it worth it? So tell me what you think, suggestions are welcome, don't really want to spend more than $150.
Thanks in advance
