I'm by no means an audio expert so I'd like some input regarding my situation. I've been using a set of Logitech Z-560 4.1s hooked up to my computer via an X-Fi Elite Pro for awhile now and it recently bit the bullet.
I do gaming as well as watch Blurays on my computer. Looking through various threads it appeared to me that AVRs + Speakers/Sub is the way to go, but I'm on an tight budget. $600 is the hard cap, and to be honest I don't want to spend even over $300.
If I go AVR + Speakers/Sub, I've been looking at the Energy Take Classic 5.1 for speakers/sub but I'm having difficulty locating a cheapish AVR that still has 6 analog inputs. The cheaper option for me would be just getting a set of Logitech Z906s. I know I'll be sacrificing a lot of quality by going for the Logitechs but while I can most certainly appreciate the boost in quality, I don't exactly need it and my budget is the most important factor. Plus I live in an apartment so I may not be able to even make the use out of the superior speakers.
Your thoughts/opinions?
