Speakers final decision

[No.72]

Humm, what is the best pc speaker set for £100 for gaming, films and music iyo? that is the right question

[Metier9]

This is just going by scan prices

but for £100 i wouldnt bother with the 5.1 sets

this 2.1 altec lansing is £92, just about on budget

I would say the altecs are if u want a 2.1.

I would day a better option would be to find your local richer sounds and ask them to do the best deal on a set of hifi speakers and an amp for £100. they are usually really reasonable and will knock the prices down to help u out. a mate got a decent cambridge audio amp & some really wharfdale speakers for just over £100. they beat any computer speakers hands down (as long as u don't mind not having' a sub) bit extra hassle but well worth it

Oh ok ns one, I will go and check out the Bournemouth shop to see what they can do

I have your first choice, the Altec Lansing Black MX5021 Hi End 2.1Ch THX Speaker System. They are, IMHO the best speakers available at that proce point. Ther do not have a digital input.

If you get them, and you like quality audio, then you will not be disappointed.

They are no match for the Monitor Audio speakers I have on my hifi, but then again thay were £600 a pair....

[THCi]

or the Z5500's (5.1's) ?

My choice, absolutely brilliant speakers, chrystal clear, and ****ing ear poppingly loud if you want em to be.

Couple them with a sound card capable of pushing DTS:Connect and you're in high-fidelity heaven! I know I am.

the Z-5500's are double the budget though. This is commonly known as breaking the bank

[THCi]

But the result is awesome!


Helps if I read the hole thread as well...

Interedting. I have some AE Aego P5's (ie. with tje suround decoder unit) and for the 600 quids they are brilliant for my home cinema setup.

Suppose il have to get a camera aswell then Il borrow the lasses and get some snaps of my set up on here.

richer currently have a sony 5.1 5x50w amp on sale for 120 which is what i got and let me tell you, its bloody cracking.

Got some tannoy mercury f1 customs which also sound very nice. They have a flat bass cone which seems to make the bass real nice and acurate almost like studio monitors. Frequency range is (55-20) isnt quite as good as the Altecs as i have no sub but i was thinking of putting my logitech one through it somehow for the time being which will fill out the lower ends quite nicely.

If you went for a cheaper 6 ohm stereo amp and some cheaper 6ohm speakers you cud get a kit for just over £100

DONT get the mission m2ss as the screws holding the cones in come loose from the plastic and u loose the ability to play it at any substantial volume.

Below are links to an alright £100(ish) system. Once u add the cables etc it does bump it up but u can always try and get them to throw it in for free
