New speaker system 5.1

[ComatoseDelirium]

I've read the speaker articles here and chose these, I can get them for around 50$CANADIAN, anyone foresee any problems? oh yeah i'll be using these on the sound that comes with my mobo, not on a sound card, until I upgrade. : http://www.altecmm.com/product_details.asp?pID=VS3151

The LEDs bump in tune to the music! INSANE techno lighting effect! It will "rock your gaming experience!" Really!

Err... well uh.. they make good paperweights.

the ones I want cost 50$ canadian.. th price is kinda the reason, yours are 3 times the price.. are they 3 times as good?

Actually those are supposed to suck. I've never heard them, though.

 

[ManDooM]

...the Sicuro ones, I mean. I don't know about the altecs.

Oh, you thought I was serious. No, you're MUCH MUCH better off with the altec lansing. They're not a bad brand, but I personally prefer logitechs.

I'd personally recommend anything by logitech in the $50-$100 range, just generally read about better audio quality with them than anyone else.

If you want premium sound, get the Logitech Z-5500 Digital. They cost a lot more though, $300 would be a bargain for those. (they retail for ~$400)

AHH JOKES, i get jokes. Anyways yes Altec is a reputable company from my understanding. and those speakers looked crappy, just was being humble, thought I could be wrong, yeah im not heavily into speakers, but i thought those were good for a boxing day sale, 150 to 50$ thx for the responses, oh yeah do i need a sound card or can it run off my mobo sound???

My friend just got the Altecs for his rig. They sound good and $50CDN is hot.

 

[ComatoseDelirium]

Thanks for the personal recommendation,

I got logitech z5300s and they are amazing. I couldn't be happier with the way they sound. Only problem is there $150.

 

[ComatoseDelirium]

yeah I looked at those ones too, but sound isn't the end all for me, right now im using some dj head phones, but looking for something, I can use, when i have people over, that are slightly impressive.
