What's the current recommendation for a set of 5.1 surround computer speakers? I had a set of Logitech Z-5500 surround speakers that lasted over a decade but they died due to a lightning strike a few years ago. I replaced them with Logitech Z906 and it's died after only a couple years (specifically, the subwoofer that all the other speakers route through has developed a dead channel ). Is there a set of high quality surround speakers that'll last me for a long, long time? I want a set of speakers that I won't have to replace for a decade or until the next lightning strike. I don't want to drop $250 on another set of Logitechs that'll just die in a couple years -- I'd rather buy something in a higher price bracket that's more reliable and has better quality.

powderific posted:PC speakers have seemingly moved away from surround sound so I don’t think you have a ton of options unless you roll your own with a home theater setup or a bunch of self powered monitors. Otherwise it’s another set of logitechs or something similar. If you’d be OK going stereo, there’s plenty of options, though I don’t have a great sense of which ones might last you a decade. Yeah, maybe I just want to roll my own. Is there a good consensus "home theater" pc "receiver" ? I like surround sound for games, but I'm really disappointed in the quality of the Logitechs -- if I'm gonna spend $250 for poo poo that doesn't last I might as well spend twice that and buy something that's real quality. It's not like speakers are technology that changes, I still have a pair of antique Advent loudspeakers from the 1970s that function perfectly fine . It's tempting to eyeball something like these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0779GRFWF?tag=highlightreviews-28750-20&th=1 but realistically I think I could probably keep using the actual speakers I have, they're fine, it's just the subwoofer they all thread into that's busted. EDIT: I think I might go by this article here: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/soundbar-vs-surround-sound-system/ unless someone has some better suggestions.

Yeah, that's just weak shielding on the wires causing interference most likely. When I was a kid the logitech speakers on my Pentium would sometimes pick up the police band.
