What Speakers Have You Got?
I just brought myself a set of 'Creative Inspire 5.1 5500's' They have a reasonably good sound quality, but I am disapointed with the surround sound, it's not really noticible at all
I was gonna get some Cambridge Megaworks but I kept on spending all my money faster than I could save it 
anyway Im just wondering what u guys use to play your trance mp3's on..
Panasonic home thearte sound system rigged to the puter, nice quality 
Jamo Dynamic D4.
Oh, and they don't just play mp3s either
Onkyo TXSR-500 pushing Paradigm Reference Studio 20s
I have a pair of Mission M74i's (150watt each) I got cheep running biwired off a mirantz amp. All rigged up to my comp.

Sweet
I'm not really in to surround sound as i don't watch a lot of movies.. a good normal stereo setup is much preferred.
Got a pair of Zachry Mindtech F1-817's and a homebuilt 2x12" sub, and a NAD C370 amp (very satisified with that one, soo much power)..
at the comp i use sony v600 headphones so i don't disturb the neighbours when gaming/producing trance at night..
-Treo-
Creative 3500 5.1
B&W DM 303's. 100W. Very sexy.
I run everything through my amp to these speakers - which is CD player, CD burner, MD player, CPU, DVD player and VCR. DVD's through my speakers are a bit special.
Think I'm gonna get are hardware mixer soon though.
I've never heard comp speakers sounding better than my setup:
2 x Yamaha YST M10, 10W/c RMS, front speakers
1 x Yamaha YST MSW M10, 25W RMS, godly sub
2 x Yamaha M101, 3W/c RMS, rear speakers
the later ones were bought for very cheap (and they sound cheap), but they do just fine to create the surround effect when I occasionally need it...
THX certified Logitec Z-560, the floor on the second floor shakes when I pump the volume.... oh yeah i live in the basement

Gemini PM100 pre-amped speakers
Needed cheap speakers for my mixer, and these were a mere �40
25watt RMS each, so they can give more than enough sound for bedroom mixing
i am using old creative stero spekers from 1994..however, the speakers cracked one day
so i took out the from speakers from my dad's datsun 120y and put them instead ..not great quality however
i mostly use my really good panasonic earphones which i got for Xmas last year RP-HC70 to be precise
and if i feel like it, i play via my living room syste which comprises of JBL control 10 speakers (450 W or something)
I have cerwin vega speakers. They are pretty good, but my amp isnt high quality, its a JVC.
i want a pioneer amp and jbl speakers.

2 Yamaha s115 club series speakers hooked up to Yamaha CP 2000 power Amp..
pair of Mission 702e Floorstanding. Ideal budget speakers for my system. Connecting them up to a Cambridge A1Mk3 amp.
You guys probably ought to realize that you can't get 500 W true rms of output power from an amp that only takes 150 W of input power. If you have a 500 watt amp that cost $500 and you see on the specs that it operates at a much lower input power, you can rest assured it cannot deliver that much output at a constant rate - however, if you paid $1000 or more for that amp, you've probably got a good one. Those logitech speakers have great sound, but most of their marketing is bull and there is no way they can justify the price they charge.
Also, 500 watts of audio is less than 7 dB louder than 100 watts. That's not a hell of a lot when you're already at 90 dB.
THX certification is not hard to obtain, just expensive to pay for. That's why THX certified speakers cost more.
Finally, 150 or 250 W speakers are absolutely useless when your amp can only output say, 50 or 100 watts per channel.
What you want to be looking at is the efficiency (sometimes called sensitivity) of the speakers, which is a measure of how loud the speakers actually are at maximum rated power. Wide frequency response is also good. Watch where your money is going folks!
I have reasonably good speakers (120 watt front, 100 watt center and rear) from Sony but hooked up to a crappy old 50 W (minus subwoofer) Creative DTT2500 Amp. This was mainly because I planned to purchase a better amp but ran out of money. 
However, it still "shakes the floor" at less than half volume. My friend has some ridiculous crappy 3 W per channel onboard amplifier (hooked up to bigass speakers) that shakes the floor too. IMO, Klipsch makes the very best home speakers.
I have these hooked up to my computer. Got them from Dell as a free upgrade.
Altec Lansing ADA745 4.1 Surround Sound Speakers w/ Subwoofer
They're good enough for me right now.
Klipsch Promedia 4.1s. More bass than I could ever need. I have the sub under my desk and it's like my feet are in a wind tunnel. At any rate one complaint I do have about them is that my sub sometimes gets screwed up and I have to unplug it and plug it back in to fix it. I'll be using these until I can afford a $1000+ home system.

| Both the Creative and Klipsch loudspeaker systems are superior in clarity and depth compared to the Logitech Z-680, but just marginally so. As for sheer power and flexibility, however, the Z-680 is superior to the MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 and ProMedia 5.1, and on equal turf with the Klipsch 5.1 Digital Dream Multimedia System. Still, it's hard to beat the Z-680 if you want to support multiple game systems simultaneously or switch modes on the fly between digital and analog. When you add price to the mix, the Logitech Z-680s look even better. |
