I don't know where you got this from, but I've used Logitech Z-2300s (these actually sound horribleNow this is really ridiculous. Talking about Bose being crap and simultaneously recommending Swan's? Swan's are design only speakers which sound absolutely horrible (presuming you're talking about the usual 2.1 speaker set). Even the majority of Swan owners will confirm this.
Edit: M10's is what I'm speaking of. They fit in the OP's price range. There really are better choices than these.
I've been pretty dang happy with my Klipsh Pro media 2.1![]()
I can second the M10 for affordable speakers with great sound and a great design to boot.
I currently have both the AV40 and M10 and prefer the M10 slightly. The only issue to me is that the M10 is VERY directional and you would basically need to be sitting/standing directly in front of them for the best results.
Also, the Bose does sound fantastic and "full" compared to my AV40. I've had the side by side and the Bose really does work pretty damn well.
the sound is ok on my new iMac
and i'm considering investing some money in order to get some good 2.1 speakers
all reviews are giving good grades to most kits but it's quite difficult to compare them
i was wondering which you would recommend (my use: movies and music)
in an affordable price range:
- JBL Creature III black
- Bose Companion 3
and in a less affordable price range:
- Bowers & Wilkins MM1
- Focal XS
thanks
Based on my experiences with computer speakers, I'd say either Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 or Harman Kardon Soundsticks.
soundsticks are awesome but take a bit a space on the desk...
Just wanted to follow up on my previous post. My HK Sound Sticks came earlier today and they sound really great. I was a bit skeptical they would sound as good as people say that they do.. and well.. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.
