QOTD: What Speakers Do You Use for Your PC?

[nh484000]

optical out from my Auzentech sound card to my Denon receiver to B&W 5.1 speakers. Had the setup for four years of college now and love it. The police know me by name at UNH because of the noise coming from my house.

 

[lapalm]

Altec Lansing 2.1 VS4121 with Creative SB x-fi music, but I mostly use my headphones which are Steelseries 5v2.

But I live in an appartment, so headphones are better suited.

 

[theubersmurf]

M-Audio StudioPro 3 stereo speakers, and a Xonar DX card. They provide adequate sound for a computer.

 

[badaxe2]

I use Klipsch 2.1 THX speakers in my room, Samsung 5.1 home theater speakers in the living room, and Sennheiser HD555 headphones for certain types of games as well as movies.

 

[geckoar]

I run my PC and my 360 with HDMI to my 32" Vizio 1080P LCD, and run both digital sound to my Onkyo HT-R560 1200W 7.1 Sound. Blu-Rays look and sound So Good. And Im running onboard sound till Creative can get OpenAL working right with X-Fi.

 

[bourgeoisdude]

I've got the Klipsch Pro Media in the rare 4.1 flavor. Awesome stuff.

 

[dark_lord69]

I use an old and awesome Altec Lansing system. 2 way front speakers (tweeters and midrange). 1 way surround speakers(midrange only). Built in dolby digital 5.1 decoding.
...and the Best Part!!!
An 8" boxed down firing sub woofer. My sub is so bad*ss I have to turn it down for normal listening. But if I wanted I could make the neighbors call the police. LOL!

 

[jerreece]

Oh my goodness. I bought my 5.1 Creative Labs speaker setup in probably.... 2001? LOL!!

I'm due for an upgrade. But, since my hearing isn't 100% anymore, and I usually player after my 2yo goes to bed, I can't enjoy it very loud anyhow. So there's no point in upgrading.

 

[4c1dr41n4]

I use my Vaio speakers or some cheap Philips in-ear headphones. Only for uTube, though.

 

[halcyon]

A pair of Definitive Audio 2-way monitors, a Polk subwoofer driven by a Yamaha receiver fed by an X-Fi EP. Headphones? Sennheiser 595 & Grado 395i driven by a Beyond Cute headphone amp fed by a Spitfire DAC fed by the X-Fi's digital output.

Music is one of the most important things in life.

 

[jtsx1]

Logitech Z-5500 THX. I used to have their first set of THX speakers and had to replace them when a lightening strike fried the sub. I like'em, but not too many video's audio supports surround sound. They do work great for movies and games.

 

[EQPlayer]

Klipsch Pro-Media 2.1

 

[zacktheperson]

Zack still uses the same old wimpy 2.0 speakers that came with his gateway back in 2001. Everything else, other than the keyboard, has been replaced and upgraded multiple times

 

[cjmu]

Logitech G51's hooked up to an Auzentech Prelude

 

[chedrz]

Logitech Z-5300e's. I used to have an X-Fi Fatal1ty, but it sketched out on me, so I'm stuck with onboard for now. I'm planning on picking up an Asus Xonar at some point.

 

[cjl]

I use 2 different sets - I have a set of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, but the ones I use more often are my B&W 685's hooked to a Denon AVR 2808 amplifier with an SVS 16-46 PC Plus subwoofer. It's hooked to my computer with an optical, and sounds stunning. At some point, I'll add some surrounds, but for now, it sounds great as a 2.1 setup.

[citation][nom]JaredAudiophileGamer[/nom]Logitech < Bose Companion , I Hate to offend anyone, but they sound like absolute garbage to me =\ Iv'e had g51s z5500s and z5300s all crap for music[/citation]
Hate to offend you, but although logitech speakers sound like garbage in many ways, at least they're cheap. Bose are expensive and still sound like garbage, making them a step down from Logitech IMHO. Listen to some real speakers, and see if you still like your bose then.

(B&W & SVS FTW )

 

[Caffeinecarl]

I use two pairs of speakers!
I have a pair of Boston Acoustics BA790's and a pair of BA735's. I took a Y-splitter to the digital output, connected em both! I know it's not REAL surround sound, but hey! Two pair are better than one

 

[theblade]

I use a Sony shelf system too when I'm listening to music, I bought it back in 98, I think it's model is GRX-9000, now it's 11 years old I can't believe it, but the sound is still awesome, quite a punch.
Specs (not 100% sure):
2.0 stereo sound
3000 Watts P.M.P.O
340 Watts RMS
Twin 8" Woofers per channel

But for gaming I use a wireless headset.

Sound dynamics 300ti speakers and a B&K amp. true Hi-fi for mp3s

 

[grieve]

Logitech Z5300 5.1 They are nothin special, does the job.

If i want to listen to tunes ill go for a ride, dual 12's in the trunk have some punch!

 

[JeanLuc]

[citation][nom]gamerk316[/nom]5.1 headsets; currently the Razer Barracuda HP-1.[/citation]

I had a pair of them but I can't say I was impressed, bass was non existent, the microphone kept falling out, they become uncomfortable and hot after a while and eventually one of the speakers failed. All in all they were piece of crap.

I'm back to using Logitech 2.1 speakers with subwoofer.

 

[tester3000]

Logitech x530 5.1 system. Goo enough for general use. Nothing too special. Cost about $50

DURABRAND 5.1 surround sound
