What are the best speakers for around $150? You choose! 4.1 or 5.1...

Did I miss one? Tell me.

How much are those?

EDIT: NewEgg sells those for $229.00... about $80 more than I'm looking for. For $250 I could get the BA7800s which are pretty good.

Oh......sorry I forgot that I paid more like $230 for them. I bought mine at Newegg...

Boston Acoustics makes some cheaper speakers that literally blow any and all of those out of the water. Check out their website for details.

The Boston BA4800s should be added to that list. They retail for around $120.

The BA7800s are great but cost $250.

I think I'm going to have to delete the "These all stink" category... too many votes! :) They all can't be that bad.

They are terribly expensive too. Maybe when I'm a rich and deaf old man I will be able to afford me some nice speakers. ;)

I vote to get the Klipsch speakers on the poll too! You can't ignore them just because they are expensive in a generalized poll for the best sounding speakers.

Damn, I voted for "These all stink"

For $150, I would choose Logitech Z-560s and get some change back. LoL

:D

The Z560s can't be beat for their pricetag IMHO.

edit- though I do agree that the thread title is a little misleading. I think the best prebuilt PC speaker system you can buy would be the Cambridge MegaWorks 510D. But then above the poll, you add in the condition of $150 so it changes things substantially. At the least you should edit the thread title to include the $150 somewhere :p

Nah... it's a marketing ploy. :D Get the visitor to come in to see what all the fuss is about and then BAM it's for $150 speakers. They're angry, sad, disgruntled... but they still want to see what the results of the poll are so.... they choose the one they think is the best! ;) Although, the "they stink" category may win after this poll is done. hehe

For around $270, you can get the Megaworks 510D which have been beating the Klipsch 5.1s in music listening tests. But, for $150, the logitechs can't be beat.
