PC Speakers ?
 

My new den is nearly complete and am looking at complementing with a decent pair of speakers...

What looks and sounds good these days ?

I'm looking at these
Creative I-Trigue 3330 :

I'm confused : but sound quality is a must : Low end plus midrange...

Any recommendations guys ?

Why not go for something in a 4.1 or above?

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

What do you want to watch / hear on your PC. If you are gaming (unless using headphones), or watching DVDs surely a set of surround sound 5.1 speakers should be on the cards?

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

Personally i'd go with the Gigaworks S750s :D (Unless you're on a tight budget of course). (Ohh and 7.1 could be considered overkill i suppose) ;)

Plenty of power, plus they are actually pretty good quality to boot!

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

i got an older set of 6.1 creative and im very very happy with them :)

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

I have a 6 year old set of Creative 4.1 Analogue speakers and they are still up to the task :) Personally, I wouldn't buy a new set with any less than 4 satellites.

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

I cant use the passive rears cuz unfortunatly I lost the ability to levitate things a long time ago;) I have full surround on my amp and the pc connects digitally with that so at any one time my pc can produce sound through 14 speakers if I so desired ;) :D

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

This is just the box room so no point of 5.1 in here just want a decent pair of 2.1's for music playing.... Anything fancy gets transmitted via structured cabling to the digital amps down in the basement (node zero) to be retransmitted to wherever.

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

I just have some Logitech X-230's, they can be picked up for around £25 these days i believe. They're easily upto the job of playing music back, they're decent speakers :) Only niggle is the bass can't be turned fully off.

They seem to get good reviews everywhere as well :)

Sod this : A new PSU has just gone top of my list :

Anyone know of a decent CHEAP silent one ?

Cleaned one PC which was problematic due to excess noise and now that temps have dropped is sweet and silent.

On the other hand my C2D machine is barking ! Noise levels from the PSU is hitting new highs after the machine is run for a few hours :(

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

Only one more PC to clean Zeph then I'm done : WHooooo Hoooo

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

Go for either a Tagan, Seasonic or a Hiper PSU... wattage obviously depending on what kinda kit you've got installed.

Personally i'd recommend Tagan... very quiet.

oh and AVOID SILENX AT ANY COST!!!!!

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

Thanks mate : Going Tagan it seems

Re: PC Speakers ?
 

I've listened to most of these speakers including the 300quid BOSE and all I can say is that they are all cr8p. It's unbelievable !

So looks like I wont be getting any :/

Mind you it could all change if the 'Creative I-Trigue L3800' are any good.
