I would like to buy some new speakers for listening to music (not gaming). I want to be able to plug them into th headphone jack on my compiter or ipod. I don't really care if they're 'computer speakers' or not. I used to have some old Yamaha speakers that were great for listening ro tunea. Then when those died I got a set of Logitech ones that were *terrible*. What do you gentlemen suggest?

I'm looking at them now on the Klipsch page. I should add that I want to be able to move around a bit when I listen, I don't want to be stuck in my desk chair. This was the big problem with the logitech speakers, there was a very small area where you had to position yourself otherwise you lost a bunch of the sounds. Also the subwoofer was way too loud even on the lowest setting...

That's what was so great about the Yamaha speakers (I wish I could remember what model they were). It wasn't like I was stuck in one spot for listening. I might check out some actual audio stores where I imagine they'll let you try out the gear but if I can get good sounding computer speakers for cheaper, why not.

Personally I'd look at Craigslist for an amp from an old seperates system and the speakers, but I've got a set of Acoustic Energy Aego Ms and they're kickass.
nope.
