I use my Aiwa stereo that's around 9 years old. It still puts out great sound. I'll always connect my comps to a home stereo instead of computer speakers.

i have experienced quite a bit the second system and personally was not that impressed with it. It lacks tweeters so highs are so-so at best and its bass its far to overpowered.

Personally i would recommend: http://www.klipsch.com/products/deta...ultra-5-1.aspx

Bose QC2s

the were a gift and my roommates don't agree w/my musical tastes else I'd be using the speakers in my MacBook Pro...college is awesome

my brother has the model below that and he was thinking about getting the one your talking about, but he read bad reviews, like theres not much difference and the bass sounds bad.

i can get the second one for $409 and the first for $299. If i can get the system you mentioned somewhere between or maybe a little more i' d get it.

IIwhitexboiII: those are some nice headphones . my dad has bose home theatre system and it sound really good. but i don't really care about headphones

Thanks guys and girls keep the replies coming i appreciate it

were those reviews from gaming sites because if yes then its true they often rate the logitec as better due to bass. this is the reason logitec makes the bass so overpowered, many gamers seem to think a bass that its obvious and distinctive equals good sound. Same reason my roommates' P150 sennheiser headphones are the only pair of senns' that i do not like - overdone bass to the expense off mids and highs. The klipsch will offer far better acoustics. That klispch model is second only to the more expensive and somewhat hard to find m-audio 5.1 "computer kit" - as far as computer speakers go.


Also as far as bose, most their consumer grade stuff has a very bad rep in the audiophile world with good reason (the standard saying: no lows no highs it must be bose). Take those headphones for example, for that money you can pick up some very nice BeyerDynamics or some Sennheiser 600s or Audiotechnica etc... that will blow them out of the water.

i appreciate audio as much as the next guy but you can't beat a free gift...

i'm listening to Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick" off of their Led Zeppelin II ablum

i must be doing something wrong because the drum solo melts my face off everytime

please advise, i'm using iTunes and here is a screenshot of my EQ setup



thanks in advance

I've got some cheap little logitech 5.1's and i'm pretty satisfied. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=9067 i only paid $79.99 canadian plus 15% tax.

i agree that they do have overpowering bass and not much in the higher range so i turn down the bass. i only run it on about 3/4's or 1/2 of the bass. but for the price they were pretty good.

[drunken monkey]

i got a set of harmon sound sticks and it sounds good enough for what i want out of them, they're cheap and they look nice on my shelf which is what matters more....
yes, i am that shallow.

[naruto]

beefburito: i can get those speakers for $88.

I have decide to get the Z-5400, my room isn't big and it's above my brother and beside my parents so i dont want a 10 inch sub pumpin away.

thanks peeps...Bryan...

I picked up a set of speakers at Radio Shack a while back on clearance. They are called MasonWare M1. 2 desktop satellites and a sub. Not bad for the price, but the sub is boomy, even dialed back. I managed to clean it up with the equalizer in Winamp, so it's acceptable.

The desktop units have LEDs in the base that change colors with the music intensity. Everybody needs a gimmick now and then. Kind of reminds me of something Nintendo would make.

i got my speakers today and they sound great.

Now should i mount them on the wall?

[Knifeblade]

I have an old boston BA635 system, from an old Gateway system, two small desktop speakers and a subwoofer. They give good sound, to me, for their age. I especially like the volume control and the sub's output control. Between those and an eq [Windows Media player] they do what I want, ran me around $20.

i mounted my speakers on the wall and it makes a big difference. When playing battlefield 2 i know where the gun fire is coming from.

Best $300 i,ve ever spent plus im using it for my dvd(not optical though)
