Hi!!

Thanx to you guys I have built my system.

Now I need suggestions on Speakers for the System.

I was looking at BOSE Companion..

Any suggestions please let me know immediately....

Thanxxx

although the bose companion sounds very nice in a small room, it is really not worth the extra money, you should consider looking into M-Audio and Klipsch amongst others

I agree. I have heard good things about the Bose companion speakers but it would be best to go listen to a couple different lines and decide if the extra money is worth it to you.

and keep in mind, the sound u hear in the open area of best buy or circuit city isn't the same as the sound you'll hear in your quiet small room...

Which companion set were you looking at? (They have a whole range of options)

And the actual bigger question: what's your budget?

Take a look at the link in yoyo's siggy 😀 How about some criteria? Surround sound? Stereo? Sub? Music? Games? Movies?

The companion's have gotten some members of AVSforum to say that they sounded quite good.

The link in yoyo's signature deals with the 5.1 HTiB's.

Well.

I am looking for Hi end Gaming and Listening to Music (Not Very loud though) and Watching Movies.

Surround Sound, Stereo and Woofer are a must dont you think ???

Please suggest as I need to finalize soon...

Thanxxx

[indtram]

Sry...

My Budget is around $300.

By the way I just read YoYo...'s Article on Bose and Boy I think its quite informative and also clears many things ...like Bose just specifiing the Speaker size in inches and not wattage or RMS value..

Thanxxx

For gaming I'd say Klipsch 5.1 ultra are your best bet.

Possibly Logitec Z-5500 if you want digital connectivity

For music I'd go with Klipsch ifis

These are good options.

For gaming/movies, 5.1 should be a priority. If you can find Klipsch Promedias at that price, that should be a good choice for you.

Also indtram, wattage is kind of something that a lot of companies will put out bogus specs for also, so the whole thing is kind of confusing in general 😛
