All PC Speakers

The Bottom Line: RWTI's Sicuro 670-XL 5.1-channel multimedia speaker system lights up like a discotheque, but it has some issues.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking to add straightforward surround sound to your PC, Logitech's Z-5300e 5.1 speaker set delivers respectable but unexceptional performance for a reasonable price.

The Bottom Line: Altec Lansing's GT5051 delivers discrete 5.1-channel surround sound with just two satellites speakers, a center speaker, and a subwoofer, but you sacrifice performance for the sake of compact design.

Specs: PC multimedia speaker system, Active, 5 KOhm, 8 Watt, 24 Watt
