Hello Guys, I am thinking to buy a 2.1 speaker as cheapest as possible with balanced quality. I have decided Logitech Z103 @ 825/- shipped.

Actually I am on a planned upgrade to Z623 this year, but thats gonna take time. So for time being want some cheap alternative. Any better options/suggestions are welcome. :)
Budget- Max 1000/- (not a penny more)
Usage- Laptop

I think you are on track. This is a pretty good set for its price. Might want to consider IEMs too which you can use even after purchasing Z623.

Me also don't like IEMs. They hurt ears. :(

Get the Z103. Just confirm the price from SMC.

Cheap 2.1s like z103 has distortion above 60/70% volume, bass would be terrible also the highs wont be satisfactory... The worst part, some may find it irritating.

Since u are looking for a temporary speakers, i suggest u to go for a 2.0 in your budget...
2.0 speakers lacks a sub & power(watt), but provides better mids & clear highs...

^I know it'd distort, and the biggest ironical thing is that the USP I consider in any speaker is "it shouldn't distort at any cost with high vol levels". But since this is planned upgrade, so budget extremely low. :(

What 2.0 models you suggest, ex? Though I really doubt myself that I'd live without sub.

Logitech Z130, Altec Lansing BXR1320
2.0 for around 1K has better SNR..
If u need a sub for sure, audition Z103 before getting it...

I've used my friend's Altec Lansing BXR1221 2.1s... I found the sound quality to be good if i muted the sub. but thats my personal opinion..

If u need answer to your thread topic, its AL VS2621 ~1.6K... But i doubt its availability..

^I have already owned a AL BXR series 2.1 speaker. I don't remember its model but it retailed for some 1100 bucks 5 years ago and I was totally satisfied by its performance. The one you've mentioned is for 1.2k. I wish I convince myself for it. :| Also my roommate had an intex 2.1 @900. It was also satisfactory.

when I began my speaker search, it started from VS2621, but...... rest you know better. :)

Though this wasn't better than AL one I owned, but still 8.5 against it.

I had seen it the moment you posted. And shipping it would cost a min 200 I guess.
