Time to buy new speakers

[ArmenK]

The time has come to buy my speakers. I can get either of the following:
(prices include shipping and tax)
Midiland s4-8200: $243
Diamond Audio s2-4100: $250
Klipsch Promdedia 4.1: $250
Klipsch Promedia 2.1: $200

now whats the best bang for the buck for a music listener? I want a clean sound but also a powerfull subwoofer to show off
From previous posts, i have learned that people that own the 4100s love them and praise them like crazy, so i am leaning towards them. But the fact that i can get a 5.1 dolby setup with a remote control (8200) for less makes me think.

Where are you getting the 8200's for 243?

 

[ArmenK]

If you've got that kind of money to buy then you may want to get a set of serious speakers and not computer speakers and then run an output to your amplifier. I have my computer running into a pair Cerwin Vegs LS-12 (about $200 each) powered by an old Panasonic 3-cd/tape/radio amp 100W x2 channels. You really can't beat that but it does cost more then computer speakers and does not have surround sound. Just my opinion.

hm... those cerwin vegas look nice, best buy has them for around 190 i think. How do they sound? What about the bass? Also, what is the cheapest reciever i can get to hook up to these speakers?

 

[ArmenK]

anyone else?

go with a Boston Acoustics speaker set that fits within ur price range. if ur a real sound freak youll love those....if not u cant go wrong with the Klipsch 4.1

 

[ArmenK]
