I've been considering upgrading my pc speakers. Currently I have a set of Logitech Z-540 ...it's a 4.1 system, but it's only a 40w system...for the price (they where given to me, FREE!) they are not bad. but I would really like something better. I really hate the sub on this system...sux ass!
what do you have? Do you like what you have? Any recommendations?
I have some Altec Lansing 2speakers and 1sub
i have the monsoon mm-1000 speakers. they served me well, they might be kinda outdated as i got them for xmas prolly 2 years ago now. but they work good for me. as for quality sound, ive heard nothing but good things from altec lansing

Linked my pc to my mixer, so got my normal soundstystem on it...2 x 120 watts (which is more than enough in my little room)
here's mine

Re: what computer speakers do you have?
on PC 1 we have a complete 5.1 surround system. Kenwood KRF-V5050. 2 x KEF Cresta 1, KEF 2 x Cresta 3 and a KEF Cresta Centre + Gale 3080 Subwoofer.
PC 2 has 2 Alesis M1 Actives.
I've never liked PC Speakers... :lol:
I also have the Altec Lansing speakers and sub. You can check them out at the apple website. I find them really crisp and clear, you can pick up all the nuances I couldn't with my old bose ones...
The same ones that came with the computer. Some cheap ones.
I have some old Altec speakers that sound really good sometimes. It all depends on the source. Some sites have crap streams.
I`m connected up to a little Sony midi system. Making tunes with basic pc speakers is not an option.
I have Kolink Speakers.Not very good,but i like this!!! :wink: :roll:

you got some big guns there!
I've been looking for a good 2.1 system...I'm not a gamer, just need'em for the tunes. Has anyone listened to the MX-5021 from Altec Lansing?
IT took our speakers away at work Dammit! :evil: but.... at least they're not keeping track of what I'm NOT listening to all day! :wink:
harmon kardon speakers are awesome, they make a whole line for the computer desktop.

Klipsch Promedia 5.1 ultras. :RockOn:
I really like my speakers. I got them on ebay for $200 used. They retail for about $350 I think. I would recommend klipsch or get some logitechs.

i have got us blast, bose lookalikes which sound very good.
Hybrex
Kinda naff creative 5.1 setup does the job though. Have just bagged a logitech one too so shall be banging out a bit of 10.2 surround later :Naughty:
I got 2 custom speakers with Focal woofers and Morel tweeters with a Cambridge audio P500 and C500 and a D500se cd player.
If you're wondering Cambridge audio had a speaker division and they sold it to Creative a while back.
