Since I've been looking at B&W, Kef and the like I've not even
considered Bose or Logitech, Yes I've owned Bose speakers, no point
denying it and I've owned Logitech. If you like Bose and logitech then
that's fine but they do indeed sound second rate when we're talking
premium stuff from Kef and the like.
Kef and B&W aren't all that more expensive so when all is said and done,
its worth the wait even if you have to save your penny's, I very much
enjoy my B&W A7 and as I've already said, for the Desktop speakers it
will be a toss-up between Kef and B&W.

Sure they're not true 5.1, but they are USB and what's more they are Bose. So
they are crisp and cinema like. Those other 1s were Logitech. I've heard 2
systems. I will admit also that those that the Logitech had good channel
separation for 5.1. But I guess were I to do surround I'd go the AV road. Going
the AV road you could now even do Dolby Atmos surround sound.

I can’t comment on the 5.1 desktop speakers, I never used any of those and - by
the time I even thought about using some - they’d gone of the market but
thankfully good stereo desktop computer speakers seem to be entering the market
again if you know where to look.
Yamaha make some stuff which might be worth a look too.

The information on these speakers is really interesting. I've never heard of
the egg series. It got me wondering about the 5.1 Egg set range for my PC but
then I realised that particular range need an amplifier. At some point I'll
have to replace my elderly Logitec Z5500 5.1 speakers and there is nothing
comparable on the market at the moment. A good stereo PC set may be the way to
go.

Hi!
It seems the mainstream speaker manufacturers are entering the computer desktop
speaker market in droves and its probably about time too given the low quality
of computer speakers these days.
We've discussed the B&W M1 speakers in the past and now there's another model from
Kef that shows us a thing or two when it comes to listening to music and good audio
quality from your speakers, the Kef Eggs It shouldn't be too difficult for anyone to
guess the shape of these speakers <smile>.
Like the B&W M1's the Eggs can plug directly into a computer via its USB port
but the system also boasts an Optical In digital connection for other devices such
as a TV, Digital radio etc and a sub-wooffer out should you need one.
I've not had a chance to listen to these speakers here but the review linked to
below seems to suggest that a sub-woofer may not be required in most situations
and - having heard a lot of Kef speakers myself - that's how I also imagine
things http://www.whathifi.com/kef/egg/review

Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the
