Mom keeps complaining her Labtec setup is too weak.

She wants something powerful to really enjoy those cat videos.

Might as well give it a bit of thump.

I have not seen Labtec speakers since the mid 90's.

WOW! What an A-hole!......I gave you a like for that!

I was looking at a T-amp and two bookshelf speakers for my laptop but ended up getting a bluetooth speaker for $40 at wally world. It's loud.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Loud?!?! Good gawd man! What about quality of the sound?

By the way Lickens, thanks for bringing the incredible price drop to our attention. $350 price reduction is huge, but...still overpriced for me.

If you really want a serious answer:

- $20-100 for a used AV receiver from a thrift store or Craigslist, plus a decent pair of bookshelf speakers for $200-300 (or less for used pair from the same store)
- Self-powered studio speaker set for $200-300
- Cheap PC speaker set for ... ?? (Haven't priced one in 10+ years)
- Bluetooth speaker and if needed a $10 USB transmitter

Klipsch still makes those? They must have been around for 20 years now.

You can buy quality computer speakers for sure. I use those little PC speakers w/sub for my wife's pc as well as both my kids computers. Now I wouldn't use PC speakers for my own rig but I'm on a much higher level of audio enlightenment than many I know.
