Best computer speakers

What my best bet for speakers for use with a sound blaster live sound card?

 

[ElFenix]

how much money ya got?

you'd get better sound replacing the live with an audigy or santa cruz or revolution

money?

 

[UDT89]

well i can get the card down the road.


i can spend around 100 beans

 

[ElFenix]

for $100 it ain't worth it to get speaks, get some headphones

What about the z640's from logitech? I'm not into to audio a lot but I think its under $100 and its a nice 5.1 setup... atleast someone told me that, hehe

Hm.. i'm in the market for some computer speakers too. I've been looking at the Creative Inspire 2.1 2500. I wanna keep it at 2.1 probably and within $50-$70. I guess 4.1s are fine if they sound better than 2.1s. Sometimes, I just do not want to be stuck in headphones. (sennheiser HD 280 Pro).

Any recommendations?

the inspire 2.1 work fine for me... and i have a pair of koss ksc-35 for 30$...the inspire are 30$ after rebate from frys... so thats 60$ total..not a bad deal

z560's pwns joo

 

If you can get the Z560s for under $100 it's a great deal. Logitech has an AWESOME warranty too.

EDIT: linked post by me about the Logitech warranty.

refurbished klipsch promedia 2.1s from www.klipsch.com . the best $100 you'll ever spend.

Fry's electronics here in Phoenix has a GREAT set of Boston Acoustics 4.1 speakers. The subwoofer is HUGE (and i'm not exxagerating) and the sound quality is awesome. I'm not sure of the model number tho. Adul has an identical set. If you can find them it's worth it, even if they are about $130-$150 for the set.

Do you guys think it's worth it to upgrade from CMedia's 6CH Integrated Sound to a Audigy 2? It does have Four Point Surround capabilities though (Cmedia).

Creative Inspire 5200 5.1 speakers for $70. I have 'em and they sound great with my Audigy 2.

I dont understand people throwing like 300 bucks just for computer speakers.

if you want high quality sound, get optical out and run it through your home theater.
