I’m looking to pick up a set of nice computer speakers and hoping to find something around 200 bucks or under… I don’t know much at all about whats a good set, so any suggestions are appreciated. I’m not looking for surround sound, just a regular set that will music will sound really good on.  
Thanks,

I don’t remember what sort AMD IS THE BEST had - that kid is never around when you need him. Brett or anyone else remember? They sounded real good and IIRC the were under your max price. I almost want to say they were Logitec.

Well if you want real clean sounding speakers some of the most crystal ones ive heard are BOSE

but I dont think you can get them for under 200 bucks

Look on ebay for these… these are hands down one of the best sounding computer speakers ive heard… singh has them… I used to have them… theyre good shit

The Z-5500’s made by logitech… you can find a set pretty cheap on ebay if you look…

If you dont want 5.1 get the Z-2300’s great sounding 2.1 speakers…

But if youspend a little over 2 you can find the bose ones… and they sound amazing

If you want 2.1 look to see if you can find a deal on the BOSE

I know the lower end set is only 300 bucks but can be found cheaper if you look around…

Or the Z2300’s they can be found for around $100-150

Those 2 sets are the best souding 2.1 units ive ever heard

The part I liked best about Nick’s was the volume control was a separate little knob so you’re not always reaching to the speakers.

Glad to hear a really nice set can be had within my price range!

I have a big comptuer desk/hutch so the best place for the sub is down below like around where your feet go under the desk, right?

Someone on another forum recommended them as well… more than likely I’ll end up going with those… thank you

Looks like that sub will rumble the taint a little!

It will shake my whole house if I turn it up loud enough. It’s nice because I can bring them outside with my laptop if I want music by the pool and it’s easy to bring back into my room since theres only 2 speakers and a sub.
