I currently suffer from loud music issues, seems my Wharfedale speakers just don't cut it anymore.

Can someone recommend me a speaker to link to my PC so I can play songs loud, budget is £200

Anybody with surround sound experience, I would be willing to place speakers in the corners of my ceiling if it was wireless, if that is even possible?

I have Logitech z-5500s

Dunno how much they are now but i didnt pay much over £200 for them.

I have to say for me they are perfect. Im not an audiophile but after hearing my system and then hearing my mates system (which includes items costing over £400) i cant really tell a difference.

the system is rated at 505w RMS and 1000w Peak which is more than loud enough. If maximum volume isnt enough for you you can keep turning the volume dial and there are 3 'boost' modes. I personally haven't have it over half volume because thats as loud as it needs to be, anything more is unnecessary! Playing BFBC2 through it on war tapes is awesome.

I have them running to my Pc which has a 5.1 surround sound card and i also have it running from my blu ray player via a coaxial cable. The connectivity on its great and its all done via the head unit. Both games and films sound great to me and they seem to out perform much more expensive systems.

They are wired but the wires are plenty long enough. they are also wall mountable if you wanted to do it. All of the sattelites swivel if you wanted to do that.

One thing is the sub.... ITS HUGE. Seriously you see it in the pics and think yeah its pretty big but then the box arrives lol. The sub itself is 10'' and comes in a ported box gives off an absolutely beastly rumble.
