Speaker System Advice?

Scotty

I'm in college and next year I'm living in a house. I would really like to throw parties and obviously if you want to throw a party you need to have music. Loud music. I really need a system with a price range of $100-$300 that will deliver a loud and decent quality sound.

I'd been doing some research online and found:
VM Audio 5.1 Multi Media Surround Sound System
this product seems decent for the price. I admit I know almost nothing about speakers and their quality.

Could anyone tell me if these speakers will work?
If not, do you have any other suggestions within my price range?

Thank you!

Answer
Those speakers are not going to cut it when you have a large crowd present...Check out Fluance speakers for bigger sound also BIC Formula Speakers.....also placing speakers up high tilted down toward the crowd will help....

Is $600 a realistic price for getting a sub, amp and 2 speakers?

Answer
Hmmm, well. I think Heco Victa 500 oder 700 would be okay as speakers. Maybe add a Heco Victa sub or some other good subwoofer. The question is: Do you want to go for a 2.1 system just now? You might consider some 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 av-reciever ans upgrade to a surround system at a later time ... won't get all of that with 600 US$ though.

The problem is if you're specifically asking for a 2.1 system I at least suppose that listening to music would be the main focus for the system. If you want to do that I'm pretty sure you can rule out everything that's even close to being a "satellite-system" (let alone one with plastic cases), because those just don't deliver what you need to truly enjoy music. You'd want some decent standing speakers.

Well, the more I think about it the more I'd say: A good stereo speakers + sub + amp for 600 US$ = no, most likely not if you want decent quality. If I were in your place I'd save up for something like a good 6.1 av reciever/amp (denon? yamaha? would stuy some reviews, discussion boards) + 2 standing speakers (like for example the heco victa mentioned before) and save the sub for later and the surround speakers for sometime after that. ;)

Advise on which headphones and speakers to buy?

best speaker system for college image

Do I have 200 dollars from Yule to spend, and I decided that what I want/need more than anything is a good pair of headphones, an an iPod dock or speaker system that I can bring to college next year. I would prefer a dock that charges and has remote control. I can't spend more than 200 dollars.

^^^ The cheapest decent docking station with speakers I could find. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a remote, is that a deal breaker for you?



However, in the headphone department, I recomend the K 142 HD headphones from AKG.

http://www.amazon.com/AKG-K142HD-Definition-Semi-Open-Headphones/dp/B0028N78HA


18-24k frequency response which can suit all types of music, semi-open design - great acoustics, deep/clean sound, and virtually no distortion whatsoever.

At $100, these headphones are a fantastic deal; if you're not a fan of the semi-open design, check out headphones of similar prices from Audio Technica, (other AKG's), Sennheiser, Grado, etc.


(I left you about 40 bucks of wiggle room incase you didn't like one of the items)

Speakers for college dorm room a good idea?

gorilla

I like to listen to quality music, and usually the best way to do that is through good speakers with a sub woofer. My laptop speakers are ok, but they're not as good as getting a separate speaker system. However, I know that when I am in my dorm room, I will not be able to play music very loud due to roommate, neighbors, etc. So I am wondering if it would be worth it/ a good idea to get speakers. I found nice ones for $40 that are pretty compact as well.

Answer
Not only your roommate, but your neighbors are going to be very irritated with you if you use them. I agree with the other poster; if you want some harmony with your neighbors and roommates, then get some headphones. They will definitely appreciate it. The walls in dorms seem to be paper thin, and, when you're studying or sleeping, noise like that is very annoying. Once you get a house or apartment, that would be a totally different story (depending on the apartment, I guess), but I think it will really be worth it to be kind to people in your dorm. Plus, the RA can write you up if it's too loud.

I made lifelong friends in my dorm, and I hope you do, too! Good luck in college this fall!
