I was thinking of buying:
Monsoon MM-702 speakers. It is a 2.1, 35 wRMS set. ~$85
Logitech z340. It is a 2.1 32 wRMS set. ~$40
Altec Lansing 621. It is a 2.1 100 wRMS set. ~$105
I will likely be running these on either a Philips serismic or rhythmic edge sound card. I want a good set of speakers that I can use for (in that order) music, games, tv, movies, etc. on the computer. I am well aware of the price difference in these sets, and my question is will buying the more expensive altec or monsoon set be worth the price difference?
I already went to Best Buy and listened to the Altec 641, Klipsch 2.1, and z560. Despite the rave reviews, I thought the z560 sounded quite a bit worse than the klipsch and altec sets (also the high failure stories I always read here). I need a set that can get a small room shaking, but nothing like the insane power of the 4.1 sets above.
I would probably go with the monsoon (because I have heard the quality is fantastic), but I am unsure if the bass is enough for me.
Any experiences, info, general advice on these sets would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
