Hi, im planing on getting a speaker system for my computer. i want the best speakers possible for gaming, movies and most importantly music. im trying to spend only $300-$500.
Answer
The best speakers for movies are rarely ever the best speakers for music, and vice versa. You see, the best speaker systems for movies and games are surround sound, while the best speakers for music are stereo. So you need to decide which is more important to you.
Since surround sound works very well with games and movies (2 out of 3 aint bad), I will recommend a nice surround sound system.

Do wireless rear speaker systems work well when used strictly for music?
joeynuts
I am looking to invest into a sound system for our living room. This system would be strictly for music (no television involved, that's in another room). Here's the problem...We have an old house so wiring through the walls is not an option because I do not want visible wires throughout the room. I am considering the Panasonic SC_PT1050 or Sony (model???) rear wireless system through Sam's Club. An old friend had the Sony hooked up as surround sound for A/V purposses, and it was great for movies! However, my purpose is SOLEY for music, and I've read that music can sound "echoey" due to transmission delays to rear speakers. Is anyone familiar with these systems at Sam's Club (or anywhere for that matter)? Would I be better off goin with a Bose "Wave" style system? Or...Is there another option that I may be unaware of? Thank you for your response.
Answer
Wireless surround sound systems work fine by transmitting audio signals to the individual speakers via multi-radio frequency transmitter.
Wireless speaker systems can be a bit misleading though.
Just because actual speaker wires are not needed, remember these types of speakers require a power source to operate.
(Wireless speakers are referred to as an active system. Wired speakers are referred to as a passive system.)
Just because youâre not required to run speaker wire to each individual enclosure, it may not be convenient to run AC power to each speaker for its proper location to recreate an accurate sound field.
The other issue you mentioned is the possibility of the system being âechoeyâ.
If you are using a surround system, you should have no problems if the equipment allows you to adjust the front and rear speaker delays. If you are using a conventional stereo system, there will be a slight delay dilemma if the speakers are not equidistant to the general listening area. Time alignment is critical for proper sound imaging. The amount of time delay will be dependant on the size of the room, the general acoustic properties with respect to wall coverings and type/size of furnishings.
My best suggestion prior to purchasing anything would be to use some speaker cabinets from another room or maybe borrow a pair of one of your friendâs speakers. Then temporarily hook them up and experiment with the locations you have in mind before installing them.
