4.1 speakers advice (I know there are a lot of discussion but this is different)

[hypeMarked]

I have read a lot about 4.1 speaker systems and there are the Z560, Klipsh promedia 4.1, BA 4800, etc....

But to me, my grandpa has the Klipsh promedia 4.1, I think it's great but when cranked up a little, it gets too loud for me, the z560 were being compare with the klipsh and I think that it is too loud too. What I am asking is, are there any other 4.1 system that are less "powerful"? I am thinking of the creative inspire 4.1 4400, how is that? Thanks

you might want to give these a listen sometime at bestbuy or compusa

Altec Lansing 641. To me they sound awesome and have the best sound out of the 4.1 and 5.1 speakers... but that's my ear, so go give yours a listen.

geeezzzzz... if the speakers are too loud you can turn them down... you can turn the bass down a bit too. It kind of cracks me up that your grandpa is more rockin than you are, go grandpa go!

BTW, you'd be nuts to spend more than $75 on any "lower end" 4.1 solution seeing as you can get the Z560's which are the best bang for the buck, shipped, at about $135.

The Logitech z-540's aren't bad... Should be under $80 and possibly down under $50 somewhere.

I'm using Creative Labs Inspire 4.1 4400 Set w/ a SB Audigy. I am not an audiophile, but I think they were worth every penny of the $50 I paid for em a few months ago. They are relatively low powered, but can crank out plenty of sound for my ears before they start to distort.

I think they'd be a good choice for you.

my creative 4.1 speakers are sitting in a closet.

I think you would like Cambridge SoundWorks FPS1000...I have those speakers(maybe an older model) but I love them almost as much as my klipsch 5.1s....only reason I got the klipsch is because they can get alot louder, otherwise for the money i like the fps1000's better.
