Need some computer speakers for under $60

[raildogg]

Hello guys, I'm looking for some speakers with a subwoofer for under $60.

I've found these Logitech X-530 speakers that seem decent.

Any better options out there?

Thanks.

I've got those same speakers in what I guess you would call a 2.1 system (just the sub and two speakers) and they sound great for the money. They easily fill the house with music with lots of bass. They work well for movie audio too. No distortion unless I push the volume past about 85%, which is way to loud for me even during a party.

With the extra speakers/channels I don't think you can go wrong at that price, if the refurb doesn't bother you.

This is what I use at home and works fine. Nothing fancy.

oh move to general Peripherals?

so you thought this was a good section to post in?
Peripherals or Audio/Video & Home Theater might have been a better idea..

If you don't need 5.1(games and movies), I would get 2.1(music). Quality over quantity.

You could often find some amazing deals from, little known, but kick ass, speakers off ebay.

Example:

8" subwoofer. These would easily sound comparable to most $120-150 systems.

Those use to cost around $150 back in the day. I would be concerned abotu how the wiring kept up over the years though.

PC works from cambridge Soundworks. Well under $60 and you'll be stunned by how good they are.
