Hey everyone, Just wondering, what are some good speakers to get for the computer? I realized my laptop’s speakers aren’t doing my music any justice, so I decided to order an external sound card (Audigy 2 External), but now I am wondering which speakers should I get for it? Any suggestions? I’d prefer 5.1 speaker recommendations, but I’m also not interested in spending more than $200 for the speakers, for I am not a hardcore music listener, nor do I listen to my music very loudly either. I just want to hear Mozart without the low-quality…ness of my laptop’s sound :nerd: Thanks! Kirupa :rock: ---

:lol: I always thought Altec Lansing was a knock off brand. I’ve had this system for a couple of years and I couldn’t be happier with 'em. [http://alteclansing.com/product\_details.asp?pID=2100&sID=2](http://alteclansing.com/product_details.asp?pID=2100&sID=2) ---

my Logitech Z-640 (5.1 speaker system) works great for me. they’re about a year old now, but that will all the more mean that it’s cheaper, eh? got em for SGD127 then. they can go loud without “belching”, if you know what i mean. the sound quality is good too. classical or rock music, it’s all good on them speakers 🙂 [size=1]my bro may have some good advice on this…I may check in later if I learn anything from him[/size] ---

I also have Logitech 5.1 speakers, they are nice. I got them at best buy for like 50 bucks with a rebate, they were 120 or so to start with. ---

The Logitech Z-640 seem really good 🙂 I may try the altec-lansing on my home comps, but I’ll probably go with the Z-640 for my laptop! Thanks everyone :asian: ---

Hey Kirupa, wasnt there a thread like this before? haha anyway I reccomend any thats said above. Logitech, Altec, Creative or TDK. The TDk has a massive bass as well as being very slim for ideal gaming. ---

I looked at that one also soulty, but it seemed overkill for me. I found the Logitech Z-640 for only 49.99 on [newegg.com](http://newegg.com) compared to the 180 or so for the 5300. I may go with a Z-680 for my home PCs, but I already ordered my Z-640 and Audigy 2 USB2.0 sound card for now 🙂 ---

Z-640’s are teh bomb! 😛 …although a set of Bang&Olufsen’s would never go astray…
