Which Speaker System.

coxhill1988 · 11-05-2004, 12:32 AM

Hi there new to the forum, just to let you know really into the music side of computers, currently running sound blaster audigy 2 platinum, connected to a separate amp which power a pair of gale monitor speaker, this is giving me great sound.

However it is very untidy and having to flick 4-5 switches before any sound starts emerging, therefore im interested in a very good 2.1 system but having no experience with computer speakers I am wondering if the sound is goin to match that of my monitor/amp combo. looking to spend upto £250. it is only a small room, so power ratings arent crutial used for playing mostly rock.

Thanks for any help

Forget the computer speakers...

If you enjoy music look for some real speakers..

I have an Infinity Primus speaker system.. and I LOVE music.. and this system rules!

(Dont need to spend a lot either... there are some great less-expensive systems as well)

Logitech has some nice 2.1 systems that are quite affordable (same goes for some of their 5.1 setups)

Altec Lansing also has some nice sounding set ups...Gigaworks is nice too.
