Good Computer Speakers plus Subwoofer?

Peter C

I am Looking for a new computer sound system with a powerful sub woofer along with quality speakers, just wondering if anyone could suggest a good system

Answer
I guess it all depends on how you define "good sound". There are no computer speakers I would call "good" or "powerful". Your best sound will come from separate component sound systems with a receiver, speaker system, and separate sub-woofer. HTIB (home theater in a box) systems don't measure up to separates nor are they as versatile as separates. The worst systems are "computer" speakers which are frequently toy quality.

Sure Logitech makes some half way listenable speakers and so does Creative. But neither of them will measure up to even the cheapest of separate component systems.

Now on to sub-woofers. The best subs are made by companies that specialize in subs. Also in order to create low bass frequencies you have to move a lot of air. This is physics and there is no way around it. Unless you get into some VERY expensive equipment you won't get good bass from anything smaller than a 12" speaker. Those tiny 6" or 8" speakers that come with most systems can't even get within an octave of real bass. This is how Bose pretends to sound so good. Bose gives you too much bass an octave or two up to try to make up for a total lack of any real bass at all. (Bose does the same thing on the high end too.) Hsu Technology and SVSound are two companies that make a quality product that will actually do what they say it will do.

I would suggest you read up on some of the AV forums and learn all you can about equipment. AVS forum and the Home Theater Shack are two good choices. So are the many audio or AV mag web sites but keep in mind they are supported by advertising. The forums are truly independent sources.

Computer Speakers with Subwoofer?

My current computer speakers and subwoofer have recently given out and don't work any more. Now, I'm looking to replace them with some computer speakers that come with a subwoofer.

I don't want to spend too much on them - probably under $40 or so. I will be using them for normal things - music and gaming. Of course, I like bass, so the sound has to be decent.

So, I would like to ask for any suggestions any of you may have as to which speaker/subwoofer sets I should consider in my price range. Thanks in advance!

Answer
If you want to buy computer speakers with subwoofer under $40, I would highly recommend you to go for the model Creative Inspire 2400. It's cost is $39.99 and is worth it. It has high quality bass surround sound excellent for music and gaming.

Features:
Ultra strong bass, crispy trebles, can be hanged on the wall, compact subwoofer, quality, ergonomic remote control and performance to price ratio.


If you are looking for speakers that have a much greater flexibility, the Creative Inspire 2400 speaker system might be the speakers you¡¦re waiting for.

Creative Inspire 2400 gives you the flexibility to mount the speakers on the wall for saving premium desktop space. This is all thanks to the dedicated volume remote control that can be mounted on any flat surface, especially above their computer case. But what I found with the remote control is that you have to scroll up, in order to lower the volume. This means that the volume controller is reversed as a result.
