Default 5.1, 4.1 or 2.1

Im looking for a new pair of speakrs, my budget is about 200 bucks, i was looking at the logitech z 5300 or the klipsch pro media 2.1, is it better to get a decent pair of 5.1 speakers or get nice 2.1 speakers, and do 4.1 speakers work that well and if they do could you show me a set. Ive been trying to find the klipsch 4.1 speakers but cant find them

I remember hearing the Klipsch 2.1s for the first time. They BLOW AWAY the logitechs for quality. I'd say get the 2.1s only if you listen to music LOUD, but get the 5.1 logitechs if you want surround sound gaming.

My question for you, Kuli24, is if you have heard the Logitechs .

I would say to go with the Logitech's, because it is worth getting a 5.1 system, even if you can't get complaints from your neighbors because they are too loud
