2.0 speakers recommendation

[thoo00]

Hi all,

can anyone recommend 2.0 speakers for PC use?
Mainly for movies and gaming.

The reason i am using 2.0 speakers because i got no space for the sub woofer. (unless the sub woofer is longitudinal)

Budget around $200-$250.

Bose companion 2 series III. Less than S$190 now. One of the best 2.0.

Better buy, yes. Better value, not sure, since after a while u might be itching for an upgrade in audio quality. Coming from soneone who has the Bose Companion 2 Series III, Bose Companion 20 and Bose Companion 5 lying ard in the house.

AudioEngine A2+ not bad. Good sound and looks good.

Coz u have yet to come across other speakers around that price range that sound better than the Companion 2? Just wait for that poison


Btw, I'm not the one using the Bose speakers in the house, just sayin. The Companion 2 spoiled after 2 years (control knob issue), Atlas quoted quite a lot for the repairs.

HS7 kichiu!
