I want new speakers for my 46" Samsung tv. Will the Logitech LS21 2.1 system work without extensive installation?

The Logitech LS21 2.1 only connects to a sound source via the jack commonly found on most MP3 players and cell phones. In my opinion and after owning the Logitech speakers for over two years now, I'd say these speakers are better suited for a PC, cell phone or laptop. Some TVs feature a headphone jack so you could connect the Logitechs that way, but you'll most likely have the wire showing if the jack is in the front of your Samsung TV. Don't bother with these for your Samsung. Just get a surround sound strip, as you'll get better sound from that vs. the Logitechs . I like the Logitechs for the computer and/or cell phone, but for the sound quality you get that's about it for applications. The sound is good and I have no complaints. Not Pristine highs and midrange, but if you adjust the subwoofer's volume down a little, you'll get a pretty decent full sound. I hope this helped.

They will work but you will find volume to be quite disappointing, very low even at max, much better model is Logitech Z313

Even though the SP-BS21 are very capable speakers, the C22 seems to go better with its own Andrew Jones designed set, as pictured in http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sc_b008ncd2ei-04family_lg.jpg.If you are planning to have a 5.1 or 7.1 setup, I believe the BS21 are bookshelf (BS) type and don't have a mounting screw hole you may need for this type of arrangement (Mounting satellite speakers up at front and/or behind).

I didn't reply at first because I've been sick and busy with my biz. 'Sound Bar' threw me off too, I see some other replies that fit along with what I assumed you meant. Yes I have a center speaker under the tv. Of course the sizes of your TV and center speaker would be a factor in whether or not it would work. Generally it's a safe bet that most configurations would probably work.

Yes I did successfully using the cables the speakers come with. You may have to do some adjusting in settings on your TV though.

SimonYour setup should work the only problem I see is that the speakers you have may not get enough power but they should sound good, when I setup this speaker it was a pain trying to understand what type of series should they be installed in, but the polk audio has 4 leads red, black green, and white please follow the instructions very carefully and try only one speaker at a time. When this unit is connect correctly it sounds great.

Ralph, These speakers are for a home theater system only. I am using my speakers' with a Yamaha receiver and my Sony 46" flat screen to replace the weak speakers' that comes with most flat screens tvs'. What a difference it makes when we are watching a movie or just watching tv. Great sounding speakers for the money! Hope this helps! Abby

I actually just did this to my set. I have had this logitech speaker setup for well over 5 years now, and I just early yesterday morning thought to myself...wonder if adding 2.0/2.1 speakers would work. For my setup, it did. I simply plugged the 5.1 into three of the jacks (I selected Center/sub (orange), Rear (black), and Side (green cable plugged into grey due to the 2.0 speakers having shorter wire). Then I simply added the 2.0/2.1 speakers into the green jack. You will need to play with speaker audio levels on your computer, but for me, they worked well. I tested in Fallout New Vegas and Batman A.A. and it was great. Can't believe I didn't try this earlier.

Nope for me too! See John's answer--the sound bars are good if a bit on the pricey side....for possibly more kicks at a bunch less dough grab one of Logitech's powered 2.1 systems...you'll get an e-z way to connect them to your TV [mini earphone jack], 2 satelite speakers and a nice little subwoofer. These are usually on the bright boomy side but I find them nice for contemtorary music. I did mention prices, right? I paid under 40 bux for my last set of logitech's...I'm not sure about these soundbars other than they were very costly at one time. So, do the math and spend well--Happy & Merry

Yeah, you can use normal 1/4" cables and you'll want to. The speakers sound much better with good speaker cables vs. the ones that come with the system. Good system, by the way. You'll like it.

Yes you can. You will need to splice the connectors on your wires. the speakers do not have plain ends they have LG connectors. Do not buy this HT system it is very quirky and LG will not help me. When it does work it sounds great. the dvd portion stops playing and takes forever to restart. good luck

Yes. You can change the speakers. As for what to look for in new speakers, I suggest speaking to a systems professional. I first went to a store in NYC. They showed me several speakers that I could purchase to replace the speakers that come with the unit. However, I kept the original speakers. For my needs, they are just fine.

i use this speaker system with my computer. i think it is not too suitable for use with a tv.

I would buy longer higher quality cable and check with Best Buy or Fry's about what speakers might be compatible. You also may need a more expensive system.

Cannot say for sure, as there are several variables at play. One, being the only output to a home receiver system, it requires a fiber optics cable. The digital driver included with the card must be on-check msconfig/startup to verify it is there. I do not know what make souind system you have but if it is like mine (Logitech 5 something), there are multiple choices to make for output, and the proper one must be 5.1/7.1 digital out, not 6 channel analog. Try to run the Creative updater that came with the card, to look for missing programs-possibly let it reinstall drivers, or try another optical cable. Sorry, that is all I can think of except to check your speaker wires and confirm all speakers work.

Yes that shouldn't be a problem, because the speakers plug into an audio input outlet. I would check my tv first to ensure it had one before purchasing the speakers, but most newer models have it.

You'll be fine with the cables that come with the speakers. Assuming you have a jack for a sound card, all should be fine with your hook up.
