The 2.1 system has one sub woofer and two satellite speakers. The woofer has a frequency range of 20Hz to 250 Hz and the satellite speakers have range of about 100Hz to 2o KHz. This type was quite expensive when it first launched, but now it has become pretty common. Most of these support wireless speakers.
