Which high-end computer speaker is the best one for blasting metal music?

Xx q

I'm gonna replace my old speaker which is the Logitech X-240 with some high-end speaker.

Which is the best one for metal music:

1. Logitech Z-5500
2. Logitech Z-906
3. Bose Companion 3
4. Bose Companion 5
5. or your own suggestion.

Thanks!

Answer
None of those are high end speakers. But I am glad to help you find a high end speaker, so I have a few suggestions for you to consider.

First off, I'll say that I owned the Bose Companion 5 system... and it's the last Bose product I ever bought. It was junk. So is the rest of their gear. I replaced them with a $200 pair of AudioEngine A2 speakers and they completely decimate the Bose speakers in every way, for half the price. That brings me to my first suggestion...

1. Something from AudioEngine. From their smallest $200 A2 speakers to their $325 A5 speakers and $350 S8 subwoofer, anything from AudioEngine is a sure-fire hit in the high-end range at a good price. Their products have real wooden cabinets (Unlike the plastic of Bose and Logitech) that are hand assembled here in the USA. Also, they have great amplifiers built in, and kevlar woofers. I love my A2s, and they're smaller than they really sound. Nobody expects such great sound from these... but they deliver anyways. http://reviews.cnet.com/pc-speakers/audioengine-a5b-black/4505-3179_7-33714389.html?tag=mncol;lst;1

2. M-Audio: M-Audio is a studio brand name that manufactures tons of ultra-high end studio monitors that are used in many studios around the world. They also have a line of consumer-grade studio monitors that range from their smaller AV20s to the larger AV40s. They are also made of real wood cabinets. (Just to note, if the speaker is made of plastic, it's surely not high end. Bose and logitech, and 99% of computer speakers are plastic.) http://reviews.cnet.com/separate-speakers/m-audio-studiophile-av/4505-7869_7-32381162.html

3. Well, I'm not sure what else to recommend... computer speakers normally aren't any good. AudioEngine and M-Audio are the only two computer speakers I would ever recommend actually.

If you go with AudioEngine, get their subwoofer. Because you want to listen to metal, the subwoofer is a must! It will surely cost alot, but it's worth it 100%. Also, make sure you have a good sound card, neither M-Audio nor AudioEngine will sound any good without a decent sound card that at least has EQ settings. Creative sells decent sound cards at good prices, so check them out.

Finally, if you get M-Audio, look into getting a powered subwoofer with them too. They don't make any budget subs, but you could match them with a sub from another brand.


AudioEngine's A5, and M-Audio's AV40 are the two biggest speakers I recommended here. AudioEngine's A5 has bigger woofers and more powerful amps than the A2, so it might be better in your case. M-Audio's AV40 also has bigger woofers than it's smaller models, so that would be good too. Generally, whichever brand you go with, get their largest speakers if you want the most bass response.



I know that AudioEngine and M-Audio's speakers don't come with subs right off the bat, but they sound better than everything else out there in the computer market. I ditched my $400 Compaion 5 system for a $200 A2 system from AudioEngine... that says it there. Bose is junk. Hopefully I saved you some money there.


Good luck

Speaker building is a fun hobby but it can take years to get really good at it. There are books http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=500-035 on the subject and lots of web sites and forums. Start with the AVS Forum here... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=155 You can see what projects others are doing there and get lots of help.

Linkwitzlab has lots of DIY projects... http://www.linkwitzlab.com/DIY%20products.htm and just a lot of good information... http://www.linkwitzlab.com/frontiers.htm

You can get ideas from the Parts Express showcase... http://www.parts-express.com/project%2Dgallery/speaker%2Dprojects/

If you get good at it, you can make better speakers than most of the products available to buy. Manufacturers have too many limitations whereas DIY is only limited by resources. You can read every article ever written in the Journals of the Audio Engineering Society and utilize every known technology in your design. Manufacturers can not do this without paying royalties.

have fun,

Question about the speakers that has more than two...?

Peter N

I saw speaker systems that are more than two speakers. What's the highest amount of speakers ever made? What's a really cheap price but also has excellent quality sound?

Answer
your question makes no sense. there is no such thing as the most speakers ever made. it sounds to me like speakers people put inside their vehicle. and you can put however many speakers you want in a vehicle. the only limit is space, and your electrical system.

If you're talking about coaxial speakers, then the highest I know of are 4 way speakers. that means 4 speakers attached to each other.

pioneer is a good company...

My surround sound system buzzes then turns off. How do I fix it?

Jeff W

Ever since a lighning storm my surround sound speaker system doesnt work. When I turn it on it buzzes and sounds like a little bit of music is playing, but then all the speakers turn off and stop working. I dont know if its a problem with the speakers or the reciever.

Answer
Definitely the receiver. The problem is with the electrical current not stopping immediately. This means it is not being contained within the unit properly. It is only a matter of time before your unit goes out.

It would cost you more to fix then buy a new one in most cases, because the problem may have spread. I would suggest using it until it goes out and then purchase another.

How can I hook up my speaker system with my computer? PLEASE help 10 pts best anwser.?

best speaker system ever image

Raddin

Hello and thank you for answering my question. I have a speaker system but no connections to my computer or anything,just wires, so is there any way that I could connect it to another device such as an Mp3 or laptop.
Thanks

Answer
only way this will work is if you have a stereo or a power source for the speakers. The computer will not provide enuf power to make them loud or work at all. You get a decent pair of headphones. Like ten dollar pair not even. The headphone wires should be at least twice as thick as ipod ear bud wires. You cut the headphone wires as close to the headphones as possible. Strip them about an inch. There mite two sets of wires in one rubber casing. Separate them and leave the inner cased wire alone (if there is one). Now get audio jacks(red and white kind). How ever long you need to reach your stero from your computer. If you have those types of jacks on it. Then plug in the headphone jack to your comp turn stero on put wires together. If you need more help check out a tec sit they sometimes help. If you have direct wire input to the stereo just go to radio shack and get a set of speaker wires. Not that much money will be spent. Hope I could help.

Is it possible to blow the stereo in a car?

Nathan V

I have a 2010 Civic coupe with a 350 watt, 7 speaker system. Is it possible to overload it and damage it? If so, how much would it take?

Answer
its pretty uncommon, stereos have fuses on them that blow. you just have to change a 40 cent fuse if that ever happens
