The 2.1 (Sub + 2 speakers) setup is called the Logitech X-230.

Klipsch does have a 2.0 system, the ProMedia Ultra 2.0's. I have never had a chance to hear them.
All the reviews I've read have very mixed feelings about the 2.0 speakers. One of the common complaints is the inability to reach the higher volume levels.
