Best computer speakers for music?

(1/3) > >>

Koremora:
Basically what the title implies. What do you guys think are some of the best speakers for listening to music whilst hooked up to your computer? Seeing as most people listen to music this way nowadays, it seems this would be a Pretty Important Thing To Get. LET ME HEAR YOUR OPINIONS

(on a side note, I use the X-540 5.1 Logitech speakers right now, and they sound great when you use the Matrix mode to make 5-channel sound out of 2-channel output. Only issue is that they occasionally have popping, clicking, and buzzing noises, and the music sounds like it's wavering. Which is annoying as fuck. Any ideas what may be causing that?)

Be My Head:
the Klipsch promedia line seems pretty good.

Also, have you made sure it's not your soundcard causing the issues?

Sox:
I would advise against buying anything that is marketed as 'computer speakers' for the same reason I wouldn't advise eating from an indian restaurant that serves pizza. Your computer has a jack-out so you could conceivably connect it to anything you wanted to. Find a way to listen to it through the same system you listen to your music from. If that's as simple as buying a few extensions and a jack-phono cable, excellent.

If you don't narrow your choices down to 'computer speakers' then you'll find you have much better options.

darryl offers some pretty sensible advice. it really depends on the set up you have.

eh

Alex C:
Yeah, listen to Sox. The handiest attribute of desktop speakers are their size, and even if space is an issue there's a whole world of bookshelf speakers out there that are worth considering when you do your comparisons. They may take up a bit more room but imo it's usually worth it.
