Cheap 5.1 speakers

[Icemanbrfc]

Looking for a cheap 5.1 speaker system, that i can plug into my tv via 3.5mm audio jack.

Ballpark: R300 to R500

Just want a bit better sound quality when watching movies

1. You won't get 5.1 speakers for that price.
2. You won't get 5.1 output from a 3.5mm jack.
Best bet would be a virtual 5.1 headset

Google the cheap Logitech 5.1, it's about 1k-1.5k. Under that price it doesn't exist unless for 2nd hand or 4th hand.

@Lupus basically said. You won't get 5.1 out of a single 3.5mm jack and I also don't know any 5.1 system for that cheap.

You could get a 2nd hand 2.1 set for that price. I have seen ones listed on Carbonite.

Can always go to the local Cash Crusaders or pawn shop and pick up a second hand 5.1 Dvd player, I still use all the speakers from such a set and the sub but I've changed to a dedicated amp, cheapy but it works and it means I can control each channel from the pc which is much better

Thanks.. good idea

These little Chinese amps one gets for a few hundred are decent if you use them properly, make sure to get one that is actually stereo or multichannel and never use any of the audio adjustment features, eq's or the like, just use them for power and then do all your EQ needs from the pc with something like this, and it'll sound damn good for what it is.

Ah okay, that is a good deal I would say. My 10 year old Genius 5.1 set which probably cost me around R800 back then, I would probably now sell for double that now, if not more.

You dont maybe have a Dell Thunderbolt Dock WD19TB(S) 180W lying around? I will pay good money and then you can buy a proper set.
