[fuzzy2308]

OK so on tuesday i finally killed my home theatre system which i have had hooked up to PC since 2006 (lots of abuse) so im looking for something new
so post up what ya got pls .

[fuzzy2308]

LOL no one can afford computer speakers aye

[Haydz]

logitech 5.1.

for the 100 bucks they cost. sound ****ing awesome .

really depends how much dosh you have and what you want it to sound like. loudness or quality?

[Ozzie]

I have a logitech 5.1 surround setup but only use the 2 front ones and sub, have the sub turned rite down though.

I only have the setup so I can hear it, noone else. (thats what the system in the cars for lol)

Most of the time I use headphones though.

Speakers are pretty cheap these days for a decent 5.1ch surround.

priced at $80 - $100

[Ozzie]

If you have a spare $500 hahaha

[Philthy]

priced at $80 - $100

The 2.1ch one of those sounds good as well if you don't need the whole 5.1 setup.

This is what I use when my computer is plugged into something. The pic is 3-4 years old, so a few things have changed but its essentially the same setup

Mine arent, they are basically cinema speakers

Mine arent, they are basically cinema speakers

Each to their own i guess... they serve their purpose for the price.

As for them being basically cinema speakers, I'm not touching that one

Woops i meant to say CINEMA QUALITY. They are THX certified and they're not your usual $50 set. They have a lot more power. Mine costed around $250 when i bought it last year. And YES you can tell the difference.

themz the ones i got

[roon_VR]

themz the ones i got

yeah i've got them as well, ive had a few noise complaints when i've turned it up all the way. A bit overkill though but pretty powerful lol

[yeeeezy]

got those 5.1 logitecs, some other ones and if any of you are gamers you will know what these are if also go a set of Astro A-40 headphones easily best heap phones out (better be for $500)

If you have a spare $500 hahaha

I did have these for my gaming comp and they go pretty well, one thing though for music they are rubbish. This set is now on my media PC in the loungeroom and has been replaced by the Logitech 5.1 system. For $100 they are simply awesome.

[TR33VV]

If your sound card has digital out (usually yellow plug) I would get some Boston Acoustics. They sh!t all over any speakers I have previously seen in 14yrs of IT.



Oh and I've had my set almost 10yrs without fault.

[beeb]

If you have a spare $500 hahaha

I have them, they're really quite good, very satisfying bass. They can be made to work well with music but you need a player with an equaliser built-in like winamp or something similar.

I also have a set of Logitech Z-3s, which have now been replaced by the slightly inferior Z-4s (no seperate tweeter anymore, but they're still bloody good speakers.). I had my Z-3s at work for a while (inside a giant hanger-like building, not ideal acoustic environment...) and got soooo many comments on how good the sound out of them was.

I've got a 2.2 setup.

Consists of:
Sony MHC-RG495


Plus an extra Viewmaster Subwoofer from a 2.1 system. The two speakers are sitting behind my monitor, not going to connect them as without them i can control the bass from that one sub better. Not much details on this system online though. It's a Viewmaster TSM333, about 5 or 6 years old now.

Oh and yes, i do like my music loud, so the whole system worked out nicely.

[Verynice]

^ ^ ^ i have that stereo and i use it as my alarm clock

[alien]

Great system. Clear and loud too, never regretted buying them with the whole thought of using them as my computer speakers. Only dislike is no DMPORT option. But i can live without that i guess, i've got a computer to plug my iPod into :P I dont even use the DMPORT that's connected to the Bravia.

If i was going to get new speakers i would probably look at upgrading my computer system so there's HDMI or optical output at least and look at the Sony 7.2 Surround Sound Muteki. They're awesome!

[HCVP]

Thread dig i know, but i never saw it until now.

NAD C326BEE amp
NAD C515BEE CD player
Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers
AKG 272 High Definition Head phones
Connected to PC via 3.5 mm to 2 RCA cable

I know it's not your typical computer speaker setup, but it does connect to the computer.

[TVR-190]

dell 2.1 stereo thats about 8 years old


ohh yeah

[acarmody]

I have a set of Zalman Headphones that I stole of my brother. Ah the ability to tune other peoples annoying voices out.


Though I did have fun playing Quake 4 (using rocket launcher), with the laptop hooked up to my car using 3.5mm input. Holy poo batman that was bassy.
