Which one of these speakers are better?

xristosk10 · 09-05-2004, 07:26 AM

i am thinking of buying new speakers either from Klipsch or Creative, but i can't decide between these 2 speakers. I am deciding between the Klipsch ProMedia GMX A-2.1 and the Creative Megaworks 2.1 THX 250D. Please tell me which one of these speakers are the better buy and why, and if you know of any other better speakers please tell me and why? the more info you have, the better i get to decide which ones i want.

please reply

thank you

I never thought id see the day that a Creative set would be better than, at most, a chicken let alone a Klipsch set but it does seem that the Creatives are better here. Peculiar. (better range and THX cert is always nice)

The Creative's specs are better, but the manufacturer's numbers aren't always true...
Anyway, I don't trust any speaker that's not in a wood casing and smaller than 30 cm x 60 cm x 20 cm.

the creative sub is in a wood casing..(most creative subs are).
What is the best brand in your opinion(s) of computer speakers?? (e.x. Klipsch, Creative, Altec Lansing, JBL, Logitech), if so which particular ones and why?

The JBL computer speakers are quite good. But if you want really good sound, don't mess around with those tiny buzzers. Buy instead a stereo amplifier and some good hifi speakers.
Used stereo amplifiers are cheap - just look at this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=3280, if you can't afford to buy a new one: http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/CatalogueItem_5500.html
You can get speakers too at bargain prices: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...PcY_BIN_Stores

Agreed but they wouldnt go so far as to "fib" THX cert would they?

Its a tie between Klipsch and Logitech really although i think Logitech's 680s might just have won out as theres not a direct comparison with any Klipsche product (to my knowledge)

I cant say i agree with the JBL but :shrug: meh

Thank you for all your help...but i have one more question.....if i were to get THX certified Speakers like the Creative 250D THX, would i have to get a soundcard that is THX Certified?

You dont HAVE to get anything ... you might as well considering the Audigy2ZS (which i believe is THX'd) is not that expensive
