5.1 speakers for under 200

[zer0burn]

I'm looking for the best speakers I can get for under 200 bucks. I was thinking some yamaha tss1 or something along those lines. I'll be using it for music and mostly games stuff like that.

If anyone can point me to some review sites also maybe. thanks.

The site you would be looking for is 3dsoundsurge.com

Good luck

For 5.1 Surround sound on a budget, I would reccomend the Hercules XPS510 speaker set. Here's a review from January 15th http://www.tbreak.com/hard/othr/hercules_xps510/page1.html - Not to mention they are only about 100 buck

thanks a lot, I'm not really on a budget but I dont want to blow too much.

Or the Midiland S4 7100 for around $170: http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/s4_7100/index.html

It's kind of hard to find 5.1 systems for under $200.

I would also consider the Midiland S4 8200 is I could find a place that sells them. The price should be around $200 http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=29557

Creative Inspire 5300 is about $80 from Newegg

hmm can be 4.1 since games dont even use the center channel

I have the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 speaker, they sound absolutely great, especially with Audigy. Not to mention the price!! you can probably get better speakers for more $$, but not worth it IMO unless you are doing major music type stuff.

The TSS-1's are an excellent set. I think Amazon had them for a good price, last time I checked.

For 5.1, I'd take a look at the Monsoon MH-505's - I think they can be had for about 140 and they're probably the best sounding speakers south of two hundred bucks. Not a lot of bass and nothing to rattle your fillings out, but decent.

As far as 4.1 goes, the Logitec Z560's are hard to beat. Undoubtably the most bang for your buck.

get the logitech z560s 4.1, does the center channel really make a big difference?

 

[zer0burn]

hmm I know as soon as I buy the 4.1 I'll need the center channel for something lol.

 

[zer0burn]

ok I can get the Logitech Z560 or the Yamaha TSS-1 for the same price. Which one do you guys think is better the logitech ones are 4.1 while the yamaha are 5.1

MIDILAND 8200's. NOthing Comes CLOSE IN THE PRICE RANGE. Very nice sounding speakers, have better SQ than Klipsch Promedia 5.1's. Promedia sound is unbalanced and way too boomy. Midiland 8200's have a lot better, neutral sound.

 

[zer0burn]

ya they are great speakers but cost like 300 bucks, or 460 here in Canada.

I'd go Midiland S4-7100 (possibly Plus) if you really want 5.1.
Or the Boston Accoustics BA4800 if you can live with 4.1.
