PC speakers recommendations sought
I am looking for a PC speaker system to connect to my
notebook. Here are my requirements: - must be a 2 speaker system - must not be more than $100, inclusive of taxes and shipment to Germany - must have a headphone jack - preferably no external power supply - no need for remote control The emphasis is on quality of sound - these are intended for listening to music. I want good sound in all frequency ranges, highs crisp bit not tinny, also not looking for a blow-away bass. Of course I am aware that for the price mentioned, and restricted to a 2-speaker system, I won't get high-end audio, but what do people think is the best product I can get that would fill the bill? - Thanks, Sebastian PS: Is this the best group to ask this question? If not, where else should I post? |

I had somewhat similar requirements, but a little more of budget and no Germany factor and have been quite happy with the Altec Lansing 2.1 system: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...113-139&DEPA=0 Now, it has the remote control you don't want or need, but sounds great and full with music of all sorts. I actually use these to do some review of recordings that I mix. It doesn't have a horrible wall wart, but does need to be plugged into the wall. Or are you in need of speakers that don't need power at all? If so, yeah, you're gonna have a tough tough time finding something that sounds good with the speaker level outputs of most sound cards.
