Affordable & Good Speaker System For Gaming

[Providence]

Hi,

As I am getting my new house next year, I intend to transform one of the rooms into a gaming hub so I need some advice on an affordable and good speaker system for my gaming PC. (My wife will kill me for this)

For a long time, I have using those cheap and 2.1 speaker systems which are not very good on the sound quality and there will always be a loud 'POP' sound when you switch on the systems.

Thus, I believe that those good and slightly expensive speaker systems will not have this issue.

Currently, I am using the SonicGear's Morro 2 speaker system which cost S$29.90 from Courts.

There will be a loud 'POP' sound whenever I switch on the system. Damn irritating. It's the same for any Creative speaker system (2.1) which I supported back then.

Thanks.

No lah... I am aiming for four speakers, at least, then I can mount them on the four corners of a room. Hehehe...

Wait... After looking at the specifications on the two recommended items above, I never know a 2.1 system can be so powerful. Wow...

To eliminate the loud POP sound, turn on the speakers after you turn on your PC. nothing to do with your speaker's quality. U buy $1000 speakers may also have the same issue.

I have turned off the volume before I switched off the system every time.

buy Belkin surge protector and swans m10.

If you want quality, buy speakers with wooden not plastic case.

I see. For a long time, my speaker systems only have wooden casings for the sub-woofers. The speakers are encased in plastic.

After I use surge protector for cpu, monitor and speakers, there is no popping sound

Switch on or off? Your first post mentions there is a POP sound when you switch ON the system. Now you say switch OFF?

Creative Gigaworks T20 or T40 series II.

I personally using T20. It's 2.0 stereo speakers but sound quality is decent and only about 60 or 70 (can't recall) during IT show last year. The pop sound you mentioned about creative speakers, I don't have this problem at all.

The 'POP' sound will occur whenever I switched on the speaker system.

I tried to separate the speakers away from the sub-woofer to about a distance of more than 1 meter. No effect.

I even placed the sub-woofer either on the floor or on the table. No effect. The sound comes from the sub-woofer.

My apologies. I thought you were referring whether I turn off the volume when I switch off the speaker system or not. Yes. I did switch off the volume before turning off the speaker system. That didn't produce a 'POP' sound though. And I did that before I shut down my PC.

As to reply your comment above, I did just that. I powered up the PC. Then I switched on the speaker system. 'POP' will come from the sub-woofer.

I see. But sometimes you can get a scare if your surrounding is quiet and you are not anticipating anything.

Speaker pop is like cancer

Not all people who use handphone will get cancer

Some people don't use handphone still get cancer

And many people who have cancer don't realize they do
