2.1 Speakers within 2K range

[Ethan_Hunt]

After 3 years, my Altec Lansing VS4121 just decided it doesn't want to switch on. Although, it had some minor issues in the past, I still liked it bass quality.

I already own a F&D A55U, which is connected to my LED. But I need a new set of 2.1 speakers for my daily PC usage. Bass is primary requirement, as always. This will mainly be used for gaming and movies.

I can flex my budget till 2.5k, as I have already exhausted a great deal of dough in my processor over-haul. My usual rounds on the Interwebs kept turning my attention constantly towards one brand; Fenda. It seems like this company has suddenly turned into what Creative was a few years back. Anyway, I have 2 options in F&D; F&D A111F & F&D A520. The latter comes highly recommended in my budget category but lacks treble control. The former has a remote and a USB slot.

So would like to know your opinions on these 2 and if there are any better options for me. Thank you folks in advance.

You should buy F&D A510 . It is amazing. I have one since last 2 years . It has a good bass and almost no distortion in sound. I strongly recommend it.

F&d a520.

Thank you both! I just want to know how do you manage to engage Treble without an active control being in place on the speaker? For movies and music, I believe the equalizer settings should do the trick, but what about games? How does it sound?

In games it sounds quite good and in games I guess Bass is more important than treble anyway due to explosions and all. At this price point you won't be dissapointed by this speakers in any area.

Woops! Forgot to update. I got the A520 and absolutely love it. Totally worth the 2k I invested in it. The bass is really tight and sound doesn't seem to distort on high volumes either. However, it's a bit low on the vocals side, but no biggie.
