speakers?

i need a new set of speakers to blast trance on.... i just shelled out $600 on a new pc, so i'm definitely looking to save money.

i can get these babies (5.1 surround, 70 watts, some other shit) for $48 with shipping and delivery:

they seem to be getting decent reviews.

i'm not looking for anything amazing in particular, because at home i mostly use my stereo system:

220watts, shakes the walls at 20% volume

so what do you think about the logitechs, are they nice, or should i save my ears and find something else?

My roommate has those logitech and they sound pretty good, they're not the best, but for that price, if you don't want to spend much, theyre nice.

I'd recommend spending at least c-note with a subwoofer, especially if ur listening to trance. I've got a Boston Acoustic setup that I'm very happy with.

What is the difference between studio speakers, like the usual ones that you always see on peoples desk like the Rolands and M-audio's and such.... and between like lets ssay a 5.1 surround creative labs wireless speaker system for desktop... i am starting to use fruity loops and stuff... and i dont want to buy the creative labs type speaker set if i am going to end up buying studio speakers later on, is there a need for ne?.... whats the difference?

bitch, you haven't got the woox and the 12 digital environment / equalizer presets... and does your stereo make the walls crack at 25% volume?? and does it have GOOD, clear sound? i have the best sound i've ever heard from a stereo system, honestly.

besides, i would never use the full 220wats...

but this is not a competition... a "my penis > your penis" competition...

I'd go for the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1s (500-watt RMS). But they're gonna run you at least $300. I've got a set and they're excellent speakers...good for trance, techno & even D&B sounds great on them. Not only are they good music speakers, but they're great for DVDs as well.

I got some of these bad boyz:

I've only got a sound blaster live platinum so I cant get 5.1 surround, only FourPoint surround, but thats good enough for me. Sound reasonable, well worth the 70-odd quid I paid for them. If you gotta 5.1 sound card (which I'm sure you do) then you could go for these:

5.1 Surround
FourPoint Surround

Computer speakers have space and convience advantages:

1. Small enough to fit on ur desktop.
2. The magnets are sheilded.
3. The amp and/or sub is integrated together.
4. plug directly into ur pc.
