PC Speakers/Monitors

[cuddlysheep]

Any of you audiophiles, can reccomend some PC speakers around 100-200$. So many speakers out in the market. I can't decide :confused:. What speakers do you guys have and how well do you like it? Anyone have any experience with the Logitech series of speakers?

Don't bother with Logitech or any "PC speakers" for that matter.

I've heard some good things about KRK Rokit and Audioengine A2 & A5 monitors. Tbh I think you'd get more in-depth answers at some forum specializing in audio tech.

Yeah I'm with gkl, get a set of home theater speakers and hook them up to your computer. Paradigm Mini Monitors seem quite nice and the price is good, albeit a bit more than what you want ($145 more, to be exact). But they've had some great reviews.

Because you'll be using them on the computer I suggest getting a 2.1 setup, don't bother with surround sound too much unless you are going to be standing far away from your monitor. Even then at your price point I would suggest sticking to the idea of 2 speakers, quality over quantity, I doubt you would get 5 'good' speakers at $200 or even $400 (unless you dig deep on ebay or something).

Do some research I say, there are many audiophile forums around, just be careful not to be bitten by the bug, it's an expensive hobby :/.

I use a Logitech Z-2300. I know it's not best for pure audio quality, but it does a pretty damn good job for it's price. You can get it for under $100 now. When I got it, I was deciding between that and the Klipsch Promedia 2.1. Wish I went with the Klipsch instead cause the mids and highs of the Logitech aren't as clear...but the bass is crazy. I leave it at half way most of the time cause any higher and it'll echo in my neighbor's apartment.

Also, the subwoofer of the Z-2300 is bigggg.
