PC Speaker recommendation

[8-lane]

I emailed bose regarding repair on my bose companion 5.

Used about 7 years. Iirc I bought it at around 500 plus.
The service centre changed from atlas to another company.

Quoted .
Left speaker - $90.00
Right speaker - $150.00
Control Pod - $75.00 (discontinued or limited st ock)
Woofer repairable .

Don't know should I repair or just get a new one. Worst thing is the repair takes up to 21 working days.

My speakers become problematic when I play Dota and some idiots came out with some loud ultimate move or during playing of videos/music there's some climatic with heavy music parts

There's a crackling sound on one or both the satellites ,then no more sound.
I've to switch on off the speaker then it will work again.

Is this a problem which I can repair myself or should I dump and get some thing else?

I dun think it's worth it to repair it... just dump and get new speakers

Yea I think so too. For me, I use a laptop at home so a soundbar is out of the question cos the sound from one will only get blocked out by the laptop screen. How many watts does ur R19u put out for each speaker?

I duno lol. Not an audiophile

Actually now alot of RGB gaming speakers look like this or even more fanciful... it's sold by "BLack Hawk SG" on Shopee. The most wondrous thing is they are selling it at abt $30 but a seller on Ezbuy (presumably from China) is selling it at just $13 haha....

I'm currently using the JBL 306P Mk 2. Not bad but will take up too much space

 

[kiryu86]

i am using logitech Z625

the sound n bass is very good, but too much wire here n there, very inconvenient

any speaker that has strong good bass with wireless subwoofer?

 

[large.]

I'm considering Harman Kardon SoundSticks.
Seems to be highly rated for its durability and pretty decent sound.
Any good?

The satellites are 84mm which fits my table too.

Harmon Kardon speakers are good, but sometimes their bass too strong and you hear thumping around the house. Not good if there are other people in the house.

Depends on what brand... for brands like Harman Kardon or Klipsch... it's quite costly

U said u threw away ur pc speakers is it? So will u be getting bookshelf speakers?

 

[RockaRolla]

honestly just go for klipsch promedia heritage 2.1, if your desk is really small or not enough space, its only 500 before any discount

if your desk is big or you can afford the space, and you want a budget AIO, go for Edifier R series, bang for buck

If you dont mind having a separate DAC/Preamp as well, go for studio monitors in terms of durability and SQ, its the most bang for buck
