Looking for new speakers

zune · 11-07-2009, 01:27 AM

So I have $45 in gift cards for amazon.ca and around $50 to spare.

here is all the speakers they have....http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_ss?url...eakers&x=0&y=0

I don't know much about computers so I narrowed it down to these two speakers...

http://www.amazon.ca/50-Watt-2-1-Spe...553533&sr=1-11

http://www.amazon.ca/Altec-Lansing-V...7553533&sr=1-3

I'm just curious which one is better than the other, and if there is anything better on amazon.ca what it is.

Thanks, Paul.

EDIT: I have a small room with my computer in it and I sometimes have people over for a couple drinks...It'd be cool if the sound could fill this room for music.

The first link just brings us to a link of all the speakers...

Honestly, from the little I see about the two speakers, I'd probably go for the Altec Lansing. They're a bit more well known in the audio field than HP, though the HP's are probably some kind of rebadged speakers. But aside from that, I do really like how the Altec Lansing look. They appear to have some decent sized satellites which should give a better range of sound.

Thanks for your input...But how are these bad boys? http://www.amazon.ca/Logitech-980-00...553760&sr=1-53

How does the sub on this compare to the sub on the Altecs?

(as you can tell I'm a bass guy
