5.1 speakers are going to give you a better sound, Because they have surround. Not saying 2.1 high quality speakers are bad because they can run in quadraphonic mode, just 5.1 is better because the audio is project in different areas rather than just in front of you. This gives, in my opinion a more realistic effect on music, games, and overall, everything. Also, 5.1 has a central channel, rear, and front. 2.1 has just front. Also, you're going to invest some money to get a quality audio system.
