Where to begin?

[StevetheLateralPirate]

I have an antiquated yet tenacious Dell Dimension 8300 w/ integrated sound. but I am soon to get a decent laptop. Where should I begin looking toward a versatile and reasonably priced sound system suiting either machine. It should preferably include tweeters, midranges, and a woofer considering many of my audio files are in FLAC ~1,400kbps.

whats your budget ?(state in values)

 

[StevetheLateralPirate]

$75-100; I'm looking to invest more into a good headset in the near future. If you believe this budget is not adequate, I'll be willing to increase it by a quarter hundred, but only with sufficient evidence. Thanks!

sorry the only speaker i can recommend in that budget is the logitech z-2300, but relal ythere not that gd speakers.

 

[MEgamer]

you could check some speakers by creative. tell me what you think, and send me some links.

Here are some 2.1 Creatives that I found appealing:

...to add a tinge of contrast, here are analogous ones from Sony:

hmm, to me i still think the logitech z-2300 will be better,

 

[StevetheLateralPirate]

After dedicating a reasonable amount of personal research and receiving recommendations via other tech forums and an electrical engineer scholar, there are substantial red flags indicating 2.1/5.1 PC designated audio systems ranging from $50-150--exempli gratia: Creative Labs, Klipsch, Logitech, & Sony--are inferior to more costly monitor/bookshelf systems. If this is further corroborated, it seems increasing my budget will reciprocate favorably.

 

[MEgamer]

well really id have bought neither of those speakers.

if u could increase your budget a lot more, then theyd be tonnes mroe options.
