Speakers for Asus Xonar Essence STX

[steve wilson]

Hi,
This is my sound card and at the moment I only use a head set with it. Please can someone suggest a decent set of speakers that don't cost a lot to use with this card.

If you are looking to spend some money and get some great quality stuff then do some research, but if you are looking on a budget and want something cheap then I find it hard to go wrong with logitechs z313. It can be found for $39 in most box stores, and it creates an enjoyable sounds since the subwoofer (nothing to fancy, a mid sized speaker in a sub enclosure that is outputting low frequency audio) makes up for any low and mid range frequencies the cheapish satellite speakers are missing.

I picked up the z313 for a 32" tv in a bedroom as a friend of mine had picked up I think the 213 for her pc, and she was actually happy with their sound. They don't look anything special and the connection requirements (it has no input jacks, it has a permanent headphone jack cable that needs to be plugged into a soundcard jack) kinda stink but I was kinda impressed for just $39. It is hard to get a good pair of IEM at that price range. Considering the cheapest speaker bar with subwoofer I could find anywhere was $180, thumbs up on the cost.
