What Kind of Computer speakers you guys running? Vol. I'm in the market fo' some!

[keepzdasneakz]

Moving to my apartment soon, when I was in the dorms last year I missed my speakers at home. Right now I'm not searching for anything fancy, nothing like5.1 digital surround.

My requirements thus far would be that the speakers are:

• at least 2.1 (meaning 2 speakers, 1 sub)
• Have to have moderate to ground-pounding bass
• Fit within a $150 budget (before taxes) - If it costs a little bit more than that, I might or might not consider based on reviews.

Also, the whereabouts to places I can get the speakers will be appreciated. I don't mind going to stores and looking (i.e. best buy, costco...etc.) Orif online is cheaper/better.

Thanks in advance.

[mr monday niight]

[elnino4530]

Black JBL Creatures...hold on a sec for a pic

 

[elnino4530]

Here you go

 

[justscoreda100]

Altec lansing FTW... I had em for 3 years and they still haven't blown out yet.

 

[keepzdasneakz]

Well, I'm really only gonna use these speakers for music, so the $200 Audio engines don't sound too bad either, but they don't have a sub. Hasanybody ever heard the Logitech X-240?

 

[mr monday niight]

save up more. you won't get anything decent with a sub for 150

 

[keepzdasneakz]

To all the dudes telling me I can't get a good 2.1 for around 150...how much are the systems you have in mind exactly? Are you thinking around 2-300 likethe Bose 2.1?

 

[torontoraptor15]

I have the Logitech Z-2300. They're decent for a computer system. They're loud (THX Certified) and have a lot of bass. You should be able to find onearound $120.

Logitech Z-5500...best bang for the buck

 

[mr monday niight]

i dunno some logitech speakers that cost like 80$ at sam's club

 

[l silky johnston l]

I got some Logitech 5.1 from my dad for Christmas one year because he said they were on sale. I would keep your eyes open around holiday season and see whatyou can find.

 

[keepzdasneakz]

^That sounds like exactly what I need...which I guess is what I dont pass offered. Haha...It's between the Klipsch promedia and the Z-2300 now. Qualitywise, isn't klipsch known for making better speakers?

 

[mr monday niight]

klipsch promedia's are prone to amp failure..and logitech speakers are trash

 

[air23jordan707]

Thespeakercompany.com does have some good stuff for really cheap. Im going to get the 2.1 set on there

 

[keepzdasneakz]

Thank you all for the feedback. And Monday, those speakers and sub would make for a really impressive set-up...but I only have a laptop and it's a piece of%*$$ soundcard. I wouldn't really be able to utilize that set-up to its max...but definitely something I can see myself having in the future. Actually onceI get a House, I ain't running nothing but a Velodyne sub

 

[mr monday niight]

so get the audioengine a2's since they have a sub line out & the speaker company 8 inch
