Looking for cheap, good speakers
2009-02-08, 9:58 AM #1
Less than $100 hopefully.

So my speakers have been picking up radio stations, and lately, it's driving me nuts. Sometimes if I don't blast what I am listening to, the station is clear in the background.

Someone (I think here) told me that is was my audio cable going from my computer to the speakers (Wasn't shielded or something like that) so I went out and bought a nice high quality cable. ... It seemed to be working .. for a day...

So I guess it's just my speakers that suck.

What should I get for a nice quality 2.1 system?

Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

Somehow, I figured you'd post something here since you are always the deal master.

though I'd like something like my current setup with a sub and control thingy

I have a feeling the Klipsch system will blow any cheap 2.1 rig out of the water..but I haven't listened to them, so I don't know.

But, here you go. :)

The product, not this particular deal ... I'd advise you to check around to see if you can find any better prices for it.

I've had Z560s for a few years now- while they sound great for PC speakers, I do have the bass turned all the way down and I still find myself tweaking EQs to drop it even further. Have they improved that in the newer speaker systems?
woot!

The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 have long been the staple of high quality PC speakers around the $100 mark. You may have to pay a bit more, like $110 or $120 depending on shipping, but they are well worth it. They'll blow away any Logitech system.
