Logitech X-230 32 Watts RMS 2.1 Speaker very good speakers. i have em and love em.

so wats wrong with living w/ parents at 20? wat if he is still a student at a near by college. it would cost more to have him get his own dorm when he just lives a few miles away. plus you get free food!

nothing wrong with that. my sister lived w/ my mom until she was 22. she actually just moved out like 3 months ago

about the speakers, what is you budget? if you are gonna spend anywhere close to 200 then i would DEFINITELY suggest getting the logitech Z-5500's from newegg. i know you said you dont want surround sound, but you can set them up to play in stereo mode, which just uses the two front sattelites(not center) and the sub. they still sound amazing, even like that. then when your parents leave you can thump out to whatever you want to in 5.1 digital surround sound.

but i dont know if your budget was gonna be that high or not.

Hi Raditz,

I, also, have to give a BIG plug to the Klipsch's. I don't rightly remember the model number of my set, but they are three pieces (the subwoofer, and two satellites which look like Klingon scout ships) which offer outstanding sound.

It is my firm opinion that you can't go wrong with the Klipsch line.

but you can go better with the altec lansing MX5021's

Raditz,

I just checked, and my Klipsch's are in the GMX A-2.1 model line. The Klipsch Promedia 2.1's are newer than mine, but I'll run the ones that I own into the ground before I shell out for newer ones (I like them just that mush). Spacedude99 mentioned how he thought you could do better with the Altec Lansing's model that he mentioned - and I don't dare suggest that he's wrong. When I sought for mine, I had also considered the Altec Lansing & Logitech equivalents. Both of these sets were nice, but with a thuddiness to their low ends - and some people like that. I, personally, prefer distinction & clarity, and this is just what I got with my Klipsch's (bear in mind, however, that my comparing & purchase decision - took place about a year, or so, ago). The Altec Lansing's would have been closest to what I desired, had I not zeroed in on these Klipsch's.

Getting opinions is fine (I do it all the time), but the real deal is going to rest within how well any set is going to perform to your ears. Grab a set, take it home and kick its tires. You have been given some very good starting points, and I - myself - would be interested in hearing what those Altec Lansing MX5021's sound like (for our newly acquired laptop).

Let us know how you make out.

theres the newegg link to the Altec lansing MX5021's

i havent hear the klipsch's but i compared the high end 5.1 Logitechs and Creatives and the 2.1 MX5021's sound MUCH clearer.

vortmax · 01-13-2006, 10:07 PM

Klipsch speakers will eat Altech Lansing speakers for dinner and poop out Logitechs.

Klipsch is one of the leaders in high end home audio. I have never heard a bad set.
