Hey guys, need some advice, hope someone knows a bit about audio
Essentially I've blown the crappy satellites of my Z2300 2.1 system and can't bring myself to chuck the fully working subwoofer. The woofer is the best part of this system so I was hoping to use it with some 3rd party passive monitors which should be able to give me better sound and a bit more wear and tear
The built in power supply provides 2x40w at 8ohms so in theory if I buy some PAs that are rated slightly higher (say 60w at 8ohms) I should be able to power them and avoid potential clipping right? (I really don't want them to be so easily overdriven again)
Assuming I'm right about the above...the next problem is budget. Idealy i can only afford just above £100 for a pair of PAs (i worry that while bookshelves would provide better sound, they would potentially blow more easily)
What I'm looking for is a decent mid-high range, as the sub will take care of the low frequencies, but full range drivers would do. Of course im not expecting miracles at that price, but i've seen some available and need to know if you guys reckon they will just sound terrible, mostly they'l be used for home listening and the occasional house party/gig.
I was thinking about something like these, these or these
What do you guys think? Will this work, what would you advise.
Cheers, Ali
