What kind of speakers do you use?...

May I ask why 2.0 seems so conveinent? What is keeping you from 2.1? 2.1 shouldn't be a problem from someone living in an apartment, in fact, I knew some one that ran a 600w stereo 18hrs a day full blast, only turning it off for the 6 she was at school. Or you don't listen to music much, I can't stand 2.0, the speakers you described are nice, I would blow them too quickly.

Its not that its more conveinent, I just don't care for sub bass all that much, even my home stereo system is a 2.0 setup and its just fine. I wouldn't mind buying a 2.1 system, but I want good sound for my money, $100 that is.
I've got a set of these at work and they are quite nice for music.

I like Klipsch home audio stuff, and they have always made good computer speakers. I was just wondering how there 2.0 system was, looks good though. I wonder if anyone has anything to say about the Bose.

I have a set of speakers that I bought from Radio Shack for 10 bucks, but I'm thinking you probably don't want those....
My brother has the Creature 2 speakers, and they're amazing. His very loud video games sometimes make me feel like I'm in the midst of a war, which kind of scares me, but overall they're really great.

I still use an old set of Altec Lansing speakers. For a simple and older setup, it still produces fairly good sound. No idea where you'd find them nowadays, though, but you probably want something a bit newer.

I have the Klipsch THX 2.1 speakers and they are awesome. They produce great sound and the bass is awesome even though you dont want the bass. I unfortunately did something to the right speaker this past year at college and it some times goes out but other than that they are awesome speakers.
Altec Lansing 2100's. i've had 'em for like 3 years or something like that and they still sound great.

Well, I found an M-Audio dealer locally, so I will see if they have any monitors I can listen to.
I will also check out Bestbuy and CompUSA, hopefully they have some working floor model speakers I can listen to (they are usually broken from what I have seen).
Seems as though Klipsch, Altec Lansing, and Harmon Kardon are liked here, what about Logitech?
I have the Bose companion 2 little speakers with subwoofer. HUGE sound for such tiny little speakers.
my brother has a set of the 5.1 i forget the number and they sound awesome, i don't know about the 2.1/2.0 though...slick316 said:
M-Audio are fine, perhaps the poster meant KRK -- pronounced K-Rock? They are some well respected small studio monitors. I use ESI nEar05's (which are also powered studio monitors, optional powered sub) and they are awesome even without the sub. Not under the budget however.slick316 said:
I checked out some speakers today, ended up buying the Klipsch that I had originally checked out. I am going to try them out with the music I normally listen to, but I think they will be fine, so I doubt I will have to return them.
I really like the way they sound, and they have pretty decent midbass. No regrets so far.
They look nice sitting next to my Dell 2005FPW monitor

i use a cobbled together system built out of cabinet speakers i got at a garage sale for 45 bucks. it sounds pretty nice if i do say so myself
seriously though get 2.1 over 2.0, you can always shut off the woofer if it really bothers you and it doesn't cost that much more... and it sounds SO much better.
