Looking for new Speakers

[atinder1]

I'm deciding on new PC speakers.
I've narrowed it down to 2 I like.
Any recommendations?

WHARFEDALE MOVIESTAR DX-1 - SUB/SAT SPEAKER SYSTEM- WHITE

LOGITECH z906 - 5.1ch Surround Speakers

I really like the first one, it's a home theater system and its been reviewed very well. (wheres the best pc one i could find was z906 and was reviewed badly)

of those two i get the wharfdale one...


however since I use my speakers entirely for music (just about) I instead went 2.0 route right now I have a late 80s vintage Kenwood KR-V106R driving a similar vintage set of JBL J2050 speaker and also I have a Set of DCM Timeframe TF-250's being driven by a 135WPC TOTL Pioneer VSX-D1S

I got this stuff second hand

my kenwood cost me $20 and the JBL speakers I paid $40 for (both of these are in excellent shape)

the Pioneer VSX-D1S I bought for $40~ and the DCM Timeframe TF-250's cost $20

of course pricing and what is available used may vary widely but still if you want speakers for music and you have the room for the receiver /amp and speakers...used stereo equipment can be a very nice way to get some really great sound.


since I don't really watch movies on my pc and I game with headphones personally I had no use for 5.1 .... if you do that is fine too just tossing it out there.


there are a ton of other ways to go also

t-amp + bookshelf / Powered monitors...

True. ok, 5.1 for movies, 21 for music. I'll take note.
