Hi,
Could anyone recommend a good model of 2.1 PC Speakers with subwoofer?
Is "Harmon Kardon" any good?
Thanks
Jack
 
Computer speakers don't seem to get into SPecs like the old Audio
Speakers did. So the SPL, DB frequency response, Power handling IMS per
channel into 8 ohms or 4 ohms, distortion level etc.
What I have been happy with is the Klipisch
They are name that has been around the SPEAKERS people for many many
years. HK was good at making amps, recievers etc but never really was into
speakers. Klipsch handle volumn without much distortion, they have excellent
seperation, the noise level is high compared to audio HiFi systems, but
crankit up enough and the Signal to Noise Ratio is better. Very happy with
them and they were $299 . Then again, it is YOUR ears that willl be doing the
listening. So go to a Big Box Store, ask for a demo and close your eyes and
listen with your ears and compare. Bring along a good Acoustic CD, have the
saleman play on very LOW volumn and listen to the response and then have them
turn up the volumn and listen. Do so with all controls FLAT and with your
eyes CLOSED. Now understand that OUR homes are not furnished the same as
the store, so they may sound better or worst at yoru home and that depends
how much sound will be absorbed by curtains, rugs, soft furniture etc or how
many highs will be reflected and Bass booming from wooden or tile floors,
paneling, large windows modern furniture etc. Play, have fun and enjoy.

As opposed to a 2.1 PC speaker system without a sub?

I have
Creative I-Trigue 2.1 3300
and am very satisfied with them, they have very good sound and can be
LOUD ;-) good bass and music sounds good comming out from them! I like
the design too (my girlfriend doesn't though).

Question design, the
JBL Creature Ensemble 2.1
is very nice I think, I have no clue how the sound quality is though.

Good luck with bying!

No need to be sorry, but that is what the .1 means.
Just any brandnames will help...

If you are looking for quality sound for music and for DVDs, then I
wouldn't reccomend any speaker setup made exclusively for the computer.
I connect my computer by digital connect to my 5.1 Stereo. My computer
is part of my home theatre which is built and upgraded one component at
a time.

That would be ideal, but I use my computer for computing and editing music,
My Home Theater and LARGE LP Collection Big Screen etc is in another room. I
can have my wife on the computer and I can go to the room with finished music
product and listen. 5.1 Surround (if not implemeting the Haffler Theories)
with most music SUCKs for there isn't any encoding on regular music and when
you split in in 5 directions you are sythensizing the sound and using a
processor to input a signal where there usually isn't one. I have Cerwin
Vegas for stereo listening and for your info, you can use the Haffler Effect
and not change impedence of the system and pick up missing signals that even
7.1 or 100.1 won't be able to do.
Get a smaller more effcient speaker than your main Stereo Speakers, you
can do this on Channel A (front) and Channel B (rear) from the left front
Positive of the amp, run a 16 ga (min.) multi strand wire to the Postive
terminal of the speaker, now from the Front right postive of the amp run a 16
ga (min) multi stranded wire to the negative terminal of the Speaker. You
will be able to hear ambient signals that the speakers would have normally
missed and no surround sound system would have picked them up. A speaker is
mechanical in operation and if the speaker cone is in a forward thhrust of
the excurison, then it is unable to recreate the opposite signal present. Sal
Haffler did research with this many years and the old surround systems use it
as a means of picking up extra channels. Thus a stereo sysem which is
normally a three channel system Left, Right and Center becomes a four or five
channel system, by merely picking up ambient sounds. You will here sound that
is usually lost and never recovered. You will not have a Volumn control for
this channel but sit back and enjoy a NON sythnizied multi channel sound.
Great..... Home Theater is for listening, Computer is for editing, recording,
producing etc.
