2.1 Speaker Systems

I want a powerful 2.1 speaker system for my computer. Must be loud and have strong bass. Any suggestions?

I have been looking at the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra MX6021 but according to Altec Lansing’s site it is no longer available to view; therefore I think they aren’t being made anymore.

Audiophiles, how do I tune a basic 2.1 speaker system?

Alright Audiophiles, simple situation, you only have three nobs to turn (or adjust):

- 2.1 speakers overall sound
- the bass for the 2.1 speakers
- computer volume

Let’s say your listening to music or watching a movie… how much do you turn up the overall sound of the 2.1 speakers, the bass and the windows computer volume?

100% means all the way.

They all can’t be 100%, which ones provide better sound.

How do I get my 2.1, one jack computer speaker system to work with my sound card?

I actually ended up getting a much higher end onboard sound card with my new system than I expected and now my subwoofer will not wotk with the system. I have two front speakers and a subwoofer that all go through one jack but my new sound card has 6 plugs for things specifically such as front speakers, rear speakers, center/subwoofers etc.. The only way I currently get sound is to plug jack into the “front speaker slot BUT I really do not get any sound out of the subwoofer now. is it possible to get a splitter and plug something into the “rear/subwoofer spot or is my sound card too advaced for a 2.1 system?

I want a good 2.1 Speaker System?

Hi I have Logitech Z55000 5.1 System for my computers but I need a good 2.1 Speaker System for my computer to listen Musics must have 12″ Sub-woofer and deep punching bass. More RMS would be better.
Sub Woofer should have Amplifier so I do not need a external Amplifier.

any responses will be highly appreciated.

I want a budget 2.1 speaker system for my bedroom (w/ ipod or pc) How do I set it up?

Hey I bought a cheap computer speaker set, not the best ever. I saw these on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SS-B1000-8-Inch-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B000OG88KY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=audio-video&qid=1238271427&sr=1-1

And similar ones. But I heard this is not powered and it needs a receiver/amp?

I am willing to get a small one for it but I don’t want to buy one of those 300 dollar behemoth. Also I would need a subwoofer for the system too.

So what do you recommend me to do? I just want something that can power my computer sound system or ipod in my bedroom.

I want something below 100 total (the Sony speakers are 50, maybe a cheap subwoofer and a working receiver for 50 both?)

wich speaker system do you prefer more for music purposes?

im looking for a 2.1 – 5.1 speaker system for my computer and i dont know what kind is the best. im not worried about the price really. i want nice speakers with a nice sub and i dont want to have to worry about them blowing. so can you give me your point of view/ recomendations on what kind i should get?

What is a good stereo (not surround) speaker system for a television?

I’m actually using computer speakers right now, but they don’t have a remote so I have to get up whenever I want to change the volume. Call me lazy, but it gets annoying!

Anyone have a recommendation of a good 2.1 system or soundbar in the sub-$100 range that has a remote?

What are the two screws on the bottom of the subwoofer of the Logitech Z313 Speaker system used for?

I own a speaker system thats the Logitech Z313 with 2 satellite speakers and a compact subwoofer. There are 2 screws with 2 washer looking things below them that are on the subwoofer box. I want to know what those do because they will not come out no matter which way I turn the screw driver.

How can I plug a Logitech z313 speaker system to my LCD TV?

Can I use the Logitech Speaker System Z313 with my laptop?

I’m looking for some new speakers for my room, and I’m trying to decide between the Logitech Z313 and the Z323 models. I like the Z313 model because of the hand control, but I’m not sure if I will be able to plug in either of them to my laptop. If it helps, I have 3 USB ports, an ethernet port, a port (not sure what its called) that is used to plug in projecters to, a red mic port, a green “audio?” port, and a headphone jack. Please help me if you can; also a review on one or both of those systems would be great,
Sorry guys- just checked and the headphone jack is actually the green audio jack. My mistake.

Can I change the bass on my Logitech – Z313 2.1-Channel Speaker System (2 speakers, 1 subwoofer)?

I bought it from BestBuy and the quality is amazing.. bass is amazing, feels like surround sound in my computer space, couldnt argue with the sound. The bass does sometimes feel a little too much sometimes, some songs have a lot of bass but I just want to even it out even though I put it on the floor. Anyone know how to go into the computer settings or chance it on the speakers?

Looking for customer reviews for Logitech S220 2 1 Speaker System?

Where can I find reviews and opinions online for Logitech S220 2 1 Speaker System

Which one of these speaker systems should i get?

Cyber Acoustics Subwoofer Satellite System (CA-3602)
OR
Creative A220 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System

Google them theyre both on amazon, thats where I’m buying them
The first one has more reviews but people who have used it say the Creative is much better. I was hoping someone on here knew a lot about speaker systems was on here could lead me in the right direction. If you don’t know what your talking about please don’t try to answer. Thank you !
I think I’m going to go with the Cyber Acoustics Subwoofer Satellite System (CA-3602) unless you have something to say that will change my mind

What 1 or 2 Speaker Surround Systems need to be checked out?

OK…. I have a very highly rated 6.1 Home audio system but it takes up a lot of room in my new condo. I want to get a solid 2 speaker system such as the Bose 3-2-1 system. The Bose system isn’t bad but I know there are multiple other systems that I should look into. Polk just came out with a sound bar but it doesn’t have a sub and I can’t seem to find and real solid reviews on it. If you have some ideas please let me know.

Any recommendations please for a new 2.0 (preferably) or 2.1 speaker system for my Laptop?

I’m looking to spend a maximum of £60, and want something brilliant for that money, after all they are replacing a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 Series I’s so they have a lot to live up to. I listen to lots of music, primarily drum & bass, dance music and rock also, and I want to use the system with my PS3 also as it is currently running through a monitor with no in-built speakers. Recommendations, reviews and links would be very much appreciated guys, thanks in advance!

Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speaker system- sub woofer question?

I was wondering how the sub woofer on the Logitech Z-2300 is. I am looking for a thunderous sub woofer that will shake the walls from explosions and gun shots.

I will Mainly use this sub woofer for playing my game system or for movies, will this sub woofer meet my expectations?

P.S. Its THX certified and has a Response Bandwidth – 35Hz – 20kHz and has a 8 inch sub. Its sold on amazon for $115. Here is a direct link on amazon to it:

Which is the best computer speaker and why?

what i want to know is which speaker system is better and why? (Harmon and Kardon HKTS7 or Logitech Z-5500)
i want to use it for gaming and also music and films. i like a mixture of music, and i have to admit, i do love my bass, i would like to turn it up to the max and not needing to worry that it might for distorted.
i have read many reviews about the Logitechs and they said that you may need to buy a new fuse?
i want to connect it up to my computer
currently i am using a Dell 2.1 sound system which is plugged into my Samsung 24″ monitor (Syncmaster 2494 HS) and then there is an output lead which i put into my computer. i then have an xbox 360 connected via HDMI to my monitor and the sound is automatically picked up and produced by the speakers instead of the monitor.
i want to be able to hear both the Console and whats playing on my pc without the need of changing cables if possible.
i realize that i may need to purchase a new sound card. and could you recommend any that will be suitable for my requirements.
i would be very grateful is you could list the cables i need and also the names of the stuff i need.
thanks.

Are audio acoustic speakers any good?

I currently have a Creative Inspire T3100 series 2.1 speaker system that I use for music and gaming. I love the set but I recently knocked a speaker down and now it makes noise at high volume (my own fault I know). Anyways, the set is still good, but I was curious if Audio Acoustic speakers are any good. I am looking specifically at a new Acoustic Audio AA3009 2.1 Channel Speaker System I found. My current system has 17 RMS watt sub and 6 RMS watts per speaker for a total of 29 RMS watts. The new one appears to have nicer stats but I can’t find any reviews which makes me nervous about it. I included the link to it. Thanks!

Help on home audio please?

Ok, I am a total “noob” when it comes to home audio etc. I have a nice Klipsch 2.1 Promedia audio system. But! I want to upgrade! I listen to a lot of different music, but mostly dubstep (low frequency bass lines etc.), some electronic, rock and reggae. I want a 3 piece audio system for my room. Id like a subwoofer and two speakers, all for around 200 dollars. I would like to buy a used subwoofer from ebay or craigslist, and buy new or used tower speakers or maybe bookshelf / studio monitors. How would i go about hooking these all up? and how canm i do it so that i can plug it into a 3.5mm jack for convenience? Thanks a lot!

What are the best quality computer speakers?

I have a macbook pro 17″ and am looking for the best speakers in terms of sound quality. Price and size are less important than preformance. I do quite a bit of editing in Logic 8 and the related programs,thus I need to hear every detail I can. As I already said, price is not much of an issue, but I’d rather not spend money and not get what I paid for.

I am leaning towards the GigaWorks ProGamer G550W by Creative, the XS Satellite speakers by Focal, or the ProMedia 2.1 by Klipsch. Any suggestions?

Is it safe to operate my home stereo by plugging it into my car?

I have a nice stereo system (Klipsch Promedia GMX A-2.1) that includes two speakers and a subwoofer. I decided that it wasn’t getting enough use in my house, so I have put it in my car. My car is a 2002 Acura RSX type S. Basically I put the sub in the trunk, and found a good place in the car that secures the speakers on either side to be sure that no parts move around while driving. It has worked out great, but my only concern is whether or not it is safe. When I plug the stereo in and turn it on, there is a faint electrical buzzing noise that I can hear, which leads me to believe that perhaps a car battery and electrical system simply cannot support the large amount of power that the stereo requires. I would appreciate it if anyone with knowledge on the subject would help me out.

Which of these two 2.1 audio systems should I get?

http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/promedia-2-1-specifications/

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/7321

It’s too hard to choose because they are similar in so many ways…THX Certified, 200 Watts, etc. It was confirmed that the Logitech does not have tweeters and it looks like the Klipsch does.

What speaker cable do i need?

I have these speakers:

http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/promedia-2-1-overview/

and the left speaker sounds louder and clearer than the right one, so i switched the wires on the back of the 2 speakers around and then the RIGHT speakers now sounded better so i know its the cable and not the speakers. there is an exact replacement for this wire on klipsch‘s website found here:

http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/promedia-2-1-speaker-wire-set-overview/

but supposedly i would get better sound quality from these monster gold plated thx certified cables:

http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Standard-THX-Certified-Speaker-Cable/dp/B00008VF91/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257459550&sr=8-1

but those monster cables don’t seem to have an actual male jacks on the end like i need and i don’t want to have to do it myself. and why would i need a 100 ft cord. i want to know where there is a gold plated high quality PRE MADE cable somewhere for under $25.

thanks

Budget 2.1 audio system?

Hi, I need a few suggestions

Currently have my Insignia NS-B2111 Bookshelf Speakers hooked up through my Klipsch sub that came with my old promedia 2.1, and I’m controlling them through the control pod. Now, would I notice a difference in sound quality if I was to switch to an actual receiver/sub? These are the ones I’m hoping to purchase soon.

-Receiver
Onkyo TXSR304 $99

http://www.ecost.com/Detail/Receiver…/40236464.aspx

-Sub
Dayton SUB-100 10″ – $131.80

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd…number=300-633

This system will be used mostly for music, and some gaming. I’m looking for the best receiver I can get for under $150. I figured since I won’t need HDMI? that I dont need an expensive receiver. Unless their is a way to get HDMI sound through my sound card (Xtrememusic). Thanks

How can I do a self diagnostic on my new audio system?

The box looked old and might have been handled rough so I’m suspecting what was inside might be damaged. I bought this a few days ago from BestBuy

I just want to make sure everything works properly. How can I test it?

What is the better setup for my computer? klipsch promedia 2.1 or harman kardon soundsticks 2?

Connect LED or Strobe to Subwoofer Amp or Subwoofer?

Okay, I have dual Klipsch promedia 2.1 subs, and another one with a broken driver cone, but a good amp. I was wondering how to determine what kind of LED to purchase to connect to the amp terminals so that he light pulses insync with the bass. I know I will need a resistor to prevent the LED from burning out, so I guess I need to know what he tolerances will need to be on the resistor and the LED. Does the amp output at 110V AC (probably converted to DC though i guess) Anyways some help would be great, it seems like a very easy project to do for anyone, but I just need a little bit of information. Thanks

Digital Coaxial vs. Digital Optical – Speaker System?

I plan on buying the THX Certified Logitech Z906 speaker system for my studio set-up, and I just had a quick question.

Both my computer, and the product have Digital Coaxial and Optical compatibility, and I was wondering which is best for video/audio production (provides highest quality). Both also have the traditional Analog system, but I suspect this is a less effective alternative.

need suggestions for audio setup in dorm?

I have about a 300 dollar budget right now for an audio setup and would like it to be compatible with usb (computer/ipod).
I’m stuck between a logitech z906 and creating my own setup with a sub, receiver bookshelf speakers

the logitech is obviously the easiest option because everything is there and i’ve heard good things about the power of the system.

however, i’ve also heard that as far as music is concerned, the logitechs aren’t that great compared to other speakers. So i was thinking to getting a set of bookshelf speakers used from craigslist such as a pair of bose 201 series II (60w) for $30 and a JBL PSW-115 (350w) subwoofer for $70

I’m completely ignorant on this subject so I don’t know what kind of receiver/speaker/subwoofer i should get or which ones are compatible with one another. Any help or any direction to somewhere that can educate me would be greatly appreciated. I’m open to any and all suggestions, but yes I do want that much power, please don’t debate about whether or not i need it.

thanks

What Speakers Should i Buy ?

Im currently looking for speakers for my shed, my shed is an empty room 5m x 6m and i want speakers that can fill the room with a nice crisp sound and heavy bass (that wil shake the floor) Prefarbly, i would like a 5.1 surround sound system, but this is not 100% needed. I have a budget of around £350gbp. I can either buy a pc kit, such as logitech z906/z5500 or a full hi-fi system with subwoofer. What do you reccomend for me to get? Please get back asap

What big stereo should I buy?

Ok so the story is that ive been looking to buy a stereo system for my room. so at first i was looking at the logitech z5500′s and the z906‘s because my friend had the 5500′s and they sounded pretty damn good when i listened to them in his room. but then i was looking at reviews and specs and saw that they infact arent even that good speakers as what i was reading. they have no tweeters, and mids are a little distorted and not really there. but what i like about the logitechs is that it comes with the whole system already there so you only need to buy one thing. so i did some more research and found other systems, now in the catagory of “home thearter”. I dont know if that is still what im looking for but anyways some of those looked good. especially on cnet their editors choice energy take classic 5.1 surround sound system looked phenominal. but i dont know if those speakers are still good for music and blasting music really loud and also getting nice crisp bass that i would be able to control (turn up and down like on the logitech). but wouldnt i need an a/v reciever for that? and with that would the a/v recievers even work well with what im trying to do (control my music). MOVING ON, i did some more research and came up with a bunch of different sony speakers that i could put together to make a system, but i dont know how that stuff really works.this is what i would be looking at though. Sony SS-B3000 Bookshelf Speakers with 8-Inch Woofer (Pair, Black), Onkyo TX-8255 Stereo Receiver, Sony SSF-7000 Floor-Standing 4-way Speaker with 8″ Woofer (Pair), Sony SS-CN5000 Dual 5.25″ Center Channel Speaker (each, black), Sony SA-W3000 Performance Line 12″ 180-Watt Subwoofer (each, black). Would these be a good combination? as in having a balance between crisp nice controllable super bass, good mids, excellent highs and tweeters. Please help any help would do, even recommendations to other stuff or elaborate on what ive found. Thanks so much!!
