buying new speakers - advice

[pike8]

i've decided to buy logitech x-230 2.1 speakers. i want to know if i will feel difference between them and my old (some no name, ordinary, 2.0) speakers, no matter which sound card i have. and my sound card is (i think, because i don't know much about this stuff, but this how it's named in device manager) ESS 1969 PCI AudioDrive.
