Cut the crap, I need sound advice.

Jump

Sound advice for my computer that is. Crap being my antique 5.1 system that is just killing me now that only two chanals are working and the sub-woofer has no woof left. So what's good out there for less than $150?

How are the Logitech speakers? Like this one. Newegg.com - Logitech G51 155 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers - Retail

What do you need so many speakers for? You only have 2 ears.

Jump

How do you know?

Larommi

And those look decent.

I hate buying speakers without a test drive.

Jump

Yeah, I will probably head out to some stores and check some out before I buy it cheaper online. I should check Amazon since free shipping and no tax is always good.

Jump

Well Amazon refers that one to ClubIT but it is cheaper.
ClubIT Product - Logitech G51 155 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers Retail 980-000100

Well, I'm a bit out of the game with Computer Hardware Accessories as I havn't worked retail for awhile.

But after reading a few review sites, some forums, and feedback, I think these would be a good purchase:

Newegg.com - Logitech THX Z-5300e 280 Watts RMS 5.1 Speaker - Retail

2 x 35.25W front, 2 x 35.25W rear, 39W center, 100Watt
35Hz - 20kHz

Now, the low end Hz seems a bit high, Personally I'm a big sub guy, so I would want that as close to 20 as possible. however in this price range, it seems thats just not possible.

Personally I am using some old (say 5-7 years old) Boston Acoustic computer speakers, and I love them, sadly however, BA doesn't appear to make computer speakers anymore.

Hope that helps Jump.

The one I listed is available at Amazon and with their $20 coupon it would only be $122 with free shipping.

Amazon.com: Logitech G51 5.1 Surround Sound...

I will have to look up that one there too netburn. It's my old BA system that is now dead that I want to replace. That's the first thing I looked for.

netburnr

Yeah, I don't know what I'll do if my BA speakers die, I really like them alot, plenty loud, great bass, and very well built as they have lasted "forever" in technology time.

If I have to replace them I'll probably go with a small receiver and full blown tower speakers. Probably Onkyo brand with Infinity Speakers.

Jump

Ahh, I love my infinities I have had for 10 years now and are downstairs. Everything Bose is marketed to be but without the added cost.

netburnr

I know, actually I was asking a few guys at work about what they have/recommend for you, and I was told that about 2 years ago Infinity actually had a set of computer speakers out... I wish I had known, I'd already have my replacement set for when the BAs finally decide to quit...in 20 years lol

On the PC, I have a simple 2.1 system. Nice clean and rich.

The Theater System:

Yamaha Digital 5.1 Receiver with Polk Audio surround and a Yamaha powered Sub.

The Logitechs arent the greatest but they have lasted a good long while and are good for me... and the price is right...
