Need 2.1 Speakers for less than 4k

Right off the assembly line
Hi,
I want to buy 2.1 speakers for less than 4000 rupees.

My need:
1. For movies, songs and Gaming.
2. For me sound Quality is really important.

What i have?
1. An old audigy 2 External sound card
2. Audio Technica M 35 Headphone

What do i prefer?
I have been going through forums for the past few weeks and i was very much inclined to buy Edifier C2 from Naaptol. But recently a person has posted that Naaptol is going to return the money since its out of stock.
I cant find the Edifier HCS 2330 which is nicknamed as C2 Plus anywhere in India. And C3 is way too costly for me now compared to its price a year before. I even had a look at the Swans M10 speakers recently imported to India by Welcome to the Frontpage but i have two problems in buying it. One is the price, though if you guys say that is the best 2.1 set i am ready to pay till 6.6K for it. The other problem is, i have a moving Computer table and my 24 inch Desktop Monitor will occupy most of the space in it. So i can accommodate only the Left and Right Speakers. i cant place the Sub Woofer behind or in in front of monitor due to space constraints. i have seen posts saying Swans M10 Sound Quality when not kept directly in straight of the listener.

So any model i buy i should only keep in below the sitting level.
Since this is the first speaker system am buying i want to make sure i land up with the best within that price range.

I live in CHENNAI. I am ready to buy online and am also ready to go to RITCHIE street and buy.
Please let me know your thoughts.

What are you going to buy then ?
Do you have any other options with you ?
The price difference between the naaptol and snapdeal is 1K.

Called up Distributors: Edifiers in chennai and they dont have any clue on when they will get Edifier C2 since its out of stock. So went ahead and ordered Edifier C2 in Snapdeal for 4.4 K. Ordered on 4th.
They have put estimated shipping time as 11th since last week they had two holidays on thursday and Friday.

I dont know when i will get it. They dont have COD option and god they dont even have Toll Free Number.

^^Avoid sony pc speakers.. Not worth it..

Swan M10 is a good choice if you can find one...
Since C2 isn't avail anywhere, get Creative inspire T3100

I've Auditioned D4, D5, D8 & DB500(not avail. in India AFAIK)

D4 - gets harsh & sub distorts at high volume, poor highs
D5 - Almost the same SQ as D4 with slightly better highs but still distorts..
D8 - Muddy mids, bass not punchy, highs not crisp..

A friend of mine has DB500 which he uses for house party... SQ not upto the mark, but well suited for parties where all u need is duch, duch, duch....

Obviously you have not tested them better [d8]
I have these and they sound way better than anything I've come across.

When auditioning the speakers, along with the SQ i'll consider the price too thats why D8 is not worth.. For 4.4K D8 is a no go..

Take the user reviews as 'a pinch of salt' & let your ears to decide;-).. Trust me, this ends well..
