KKOB Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I'm looking at getting some decent 2.1 speakers for my computer, and for general audio love making. I've been looking at these for the past couple of months but i'm not sure if there is better out there for the same price . . . £129 They're pretty sexy, great sound quality as far as i can tell from just listening to them in the Apple store. Price range is under £200, which should be plenty. These have also recently got my interest, and they're £30 cheaper than the soundstick ones. What do you think? And what do you use for your PC/Mac/Linux based behemoth?
S.C.G Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I have a spherex 5.1 surround sound system which I just use for everything, great audio quality and I've had no major problems with it. http://www.spherexinc.com/products_xbox51.aspx
AeroScap Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 nooo dont spend that mucchh I got these and they are great! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-X-230-multimedia-speaker-system/dp/B00069ZEA6/ref=pd_bbs_1/026-9558913-2842841?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1188828306&sr=8-1
KKOB Posted September 3, 2007 Author Posted September 3, 2007 I have some Bose ones but there £199... I compared the Bose ones that cost £199 with the harman kardon soundsticks in the store and for bass and fuller sound the JBL ones just sounded better and louder without distorting. Can't say it was far as it was a busy store, everytime i went to look at them. These will be a Christmas present for myself, from my mom, so i want them to be good enough to last for 2-3 years, hence the £200> budget.

Konfucius Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I have the harman cardon ones at home. They're fantastic, had Creative 2.1 before that but Harman Cardon easily outshine them, the sound is very clear and bass settings are also good. I can wholeheartedly recommend those.
Lammie Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I was looking at the Harmon Kardon set up until I came across this... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-2300-Multimedia-Speaker-System/dp/B0006FFO9G/ref=pd_sbs_ce_2/202-3363513-2579801?ie=UTF8&qid=1182322545&sr=1-2 I've had these hooked up to my iMac for about a year. Absolutely beautiful. They can pack a punch (although thanks to moving into a puny apartment I can't crank them up like I used to) and are THX certified. There's alot of reviews out there that really praise them - there's something to do with the speaker shape gives them really good clarity, plus the sub provides ample floor shaking bass. Having heard the Harman Kardon ones, I can say that the Logitech 2300's are far better (performance and price).
