Any Recommended Speakers?

[Romek]

I'm planning on buying a new set of speakers for my desktop.

I'm willing to spend around £50 mark; lower would be preferred, though I wouldn't mind spending a little more for better quality.
I'd appreciate if the product was available in the UK.

My motherboard supports up to 7.1 channel surround sound, so "does my PC support it" won't be a problem. Then again, I doubt I could afford stuff like that.

In fact, I don't want anything more than two speakers and a subwoofer; though just two speakers would be fine too.

At the moment, I'm thinking of getting one of the following:

• Hercules XPS 2.1 Lounge Speakers
• Creative I-Trigue 3220 Speakers
• Logitech X 230 PC Multimedia Speaker System
• Hercules XPS 2.1 50 Speakers

Any comments on the above or new suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

id go with the logitech ones unless you want really loud speakers, in which case the latter Hercules one is probably better, but the others dont seem to merit the extra cost from the reviews

That's what I have and they are amazing.

I guess that's more than you're asking for price-wise, but maybe you can find them for cheaper if you look around.

The bass speaker is HUGE and the sound quality is amazing.

The logitech one looks to be your best bet from what I'm reading, but I would recommend Altec Lancing speakers if you can find some.

Anything by Bose. Great quality if your not lookin for volume. Bose speakers usually are small but are as effective, a bit pricy though

@ Slapshot136:
Hmm, thanks. I won't be needing anything extremely loud.
Though what reviews are you basing your opinions on?

@ Sqrage:
I guess you get what you pay for; they're far too expensive. D:

@ Tru_Power22 and Avaleirrra:
I'd rather a specific set of speakers, not just a brand. Besides, Dabs.com hasn't got anything from Bose, and not much from Altec Lansing.

these reviews

Hmm, Ok. Thanks.

I'll wait for some more opinions for now.

Might still be too expensive, just wanted to point out that it does get cheaper than $130.

I pretty much run Bose on everything sound related. They're kinda expensive, but if you want decent sound I would really recommend not buying a cheap set of speakers.:thup:

Still too expensive.

Would it help if I said I wanted good sound quality for ~£50, instead of just good speakers?

I have a set by Teufel, which is a german company, so the shipping might be expensive. They are great, with a huge subwoofer but might be a bit over your budget.

Otherswise I'd go with Logitechs. 50 pounds aren't a lot, so I wouldn't expect anything too great.

For some PC speakers, I'd think that £50 is a high budget.

Anyway, seems like the Logitech ones are preferred.
Is there any advantage (other than the price) of these over the other ones?

 

[Romek]

Bump

 

[Avaleirra]

If price matters, ignore my other post and don't get Bose, go with either of the logitech ones

I have bose earphones and they are the best so far.
