The speakers you picked out are intended for surround sound use. Surround sound is useless for djing to a live audience. I don't know how big this room is but if you intend to use speakers only for DJing, just get two large speakers.

If I had to pick from the 3 provided choices, I would pick the Klipsch 4.1 The louder one. It had higher dB sensitive and wattage. Klipsh makes good speakers. Better than Bose.

Soundblaster is good for very general sound needs. I wouldn't use them as an dedicated amp for DJing though. Same goes for the speakers.

Klipsch 5.1 are AWESOME speakers for PC.. and DVD movie watching from PC..
www.3dsoundsurge.com has the review..

I am in the same shoes as you, but for DJing, I am thinking of getting 2 big speakers such as Cervin Wega v 253 or JBL EON15 G2..
Can anyone recommend me one over the other or any other great DJ speakers out there?
Thanks

Question

how much do the Klipsh's cost?

i need some speakers and an amp,
got some cash to burn, not a whole heap tho,
like $560 or so, so illprolly get second hand gear.

what do you think i should aim for?
(for in house DJing, from a computer)

I'll let you do the research but here are some specs to look for:

Sensivity - Expressed in decibels (dB), sensitivity is the measurement of a speaker's "efficiency" (or sound output).

The higher the dB in sensivity the better. It means the speakers are effecient and can take the wattage given to it and turn it into sound. Decent speakers have around 90dB sensivity.

Frequency Response - The human ear is capable of hearing frequencies in the 13.75 Hz to 28 kHz range. Most speakers are designed to operate in a specific part of that sound range (bass speakers at the low end, tweeter speakers at the high end). Frequency response is a measurement of the speaker's operating range.

Speaker Cone Size - The difference in size between two tweeter cones (or any other like speaker cones) will help determine the quality of the sound you hear. In general, the bigger the cone, the more powerful the speaker, the cleaner the sound.

Power - A speaker's recommended power range should never be less than the maximum power the receiver is capable of producing. Measured in watts, the best audio/video receivers put out 80 or more watts of power. Woofers require the most power. Subwoofers are usually self-powered.


The rest is personal preference. Whether you think a pair of speakers is too bright or warm, not enough mids... etc etc..

from a dj who spun in the college dorms with computer speakers(harman kardon 595s, a 2.1 system), it's not as bad as you think. As for the klipsh systems, from listening to my roomie's 2.1 system, the klipsh sub has an amazing low end, and has enough thump to satisfy you. The satellites, although small, produce enough sound and are clear enough to mix with. Of course, you're not gonna blow anyone away if you throw a big house party, but it'll impress ppl that pass by your room.

so unless you're planning to throw tons of parties with more then 10+ ppl, i say the klipsh systems. 2.1 is plenty too and definitely worth the pricetag...the surround features of a 4.1, 5.1 is useless for dj'ing.

tell me how the creative extigy is working out for you, i'm thinking of getting one too.
