Speakers Dilemma!

[erwinrommel]

Hi

I am currently looking for a speaker after deciding to sell my Altec Lansing VS2321. They are good, but way too much interference! I have a Creative X-Fi extreme gamer sound card.

I am using speakers mainly for-- music, and movies. I am not a pro-gamer and I don't game that much.

Boomy speakers like Logitech are out though.

Any audiophiles there willing to recommend me? I am unsure whether surround system suits my needs, or just a basic 2.0 speakers.

I have short-listed a few-- namely the Gigaworks T40, HD50, or even the G500 or the Megaworks (all from Creative).

My budget is up to $400.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

LOL.. thanks for the feedback. What is the performance difference between a high end 2.0 (e.g Gigaworks T40) amd a mid-range 2.1 speaker (e.g. I-Trigue series)?

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi

What do you mean by getting a bookshelf? Why should I buy a bookshelf when I am buying a pair of speakers?

Noob here. Pls be patient.

Consider headphones? Sennheiser HD 595 will be nice.

Hi

Headphone is out. But thanks for your recommendations!

Anyway, I guess I have made my choice--unless some expert audiophiles can convince me.

*drumrolls*

Gigaworks T40!

Any users here mind commenting?

There are very little online reviews and the majority are for T20-- and they sound pretty impressive.

bookshelf are speaker like usher s520,nEAR, Audio engine etc
because you got 400 dollars budget

maybe you can consider them

cause they are not in anyway inferior to T40

i use T40. i find tt its not bad considering u can adjust bass n tremble to suit ur taste. but if u r blasting ur music to max vol, i will get significant distortion n i tink the speakers r screaming tt they cant take it.

some ppl oso say tt T40 is not worth the price. the price gap btw T20 n T40 does not match the quality n quantity diff btw the two. dunnoe wats ur take

Hi

I was very impressed with T20, and I set it as a benchmark against other speakers that I fancy. Hence, T40 and HD50 will have to be compared with the T20.

My budget is $400 because initially I was targeting the Creative Gigaworks G500. But then I heard its pretty tricky trying to get the dolby surround sound system ( I am a noob, remember) and need some decoder and special auxiliary output.

Thanks for the numerous suggestions!

Hi

Aiyoh.. budget can be changed. If there really exists a set of speakers such as T40 combined with a very good sub, I don't mind paying $600!

But thanks for the feedback.

since you don't game. Listen to squalljay. Go with bookshelves. Multimedia speakers are small fries compared to bookshelves.

Hi

How about the bass? A 2.0 speaker often lacks bass, how bout T40?

Hi,

the following bookshelves i recommended you are consider Hi-Fi grade.

So do listen to them yourself cause most multi media speakers will not come close to their quality

2.1, aego-M ?

Sorry T.S. , hijack your thread...

Can recommend 5.1 speakers, not too flashy design , game/movie usage, budget under $100 , NO CREATIVE?
