| 2.1 Speaker Recommendations? |

LOL. I'm sure the others are great too but it seems like, these days, nobody has anything on display so you can actually hear them. I originally tried some $50 Logitech ones (knowing their great reputation with mice and keyboards) but they were average at best... ZERO bass and only decent mids and highs, nothing like my Altec Lansing 4121's, which absolutely thunder yet have clear sound, but would also be impossible to mount... so I've been comparing everything to them and I know the Creative T3100's come highly recommended on here as well, but I figured I'd stick with a brand I've heard before, not wanting to take another set back again. But honestly, I really do appreciate everyone's input, this was my current hold-up in the final stages of my cab (I'll post pix in the Project Announcement area when I have a little more to show). |

For anyone else considering 2.1 speakers, the best I've ever encountered are the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1. They are expensive, running in the $140 -170 range. Although you can get some sweet Klipsch refurb deals on ebay. |

I would second the klipsch as probably the best 2.1 you can buy. Though you better be watching DVDs or doing something much more intense then emulating to justify those sweet puppies. |
| DrumAnBass:
Just a note - avoid the Klipsch GMX-A 2.1 speakers - I have a set of these at work and they SUCK... They are plenty loud, but the headphone output of the dongle is barely audible. Plus they emit some weird sounds randomly on occasion, and start chirping any time someone's cellpone within 50 feet receives a call. They also have no volume threshold - they are either loud or not. So avoid these: |
| Justin Z:
Let me also just add that the ProMedia has a serious problem with the way it connects everything together. The volume controls connect to the subwoofer using a 5 pin DIN, the same kind of connector that PS/2 keyboards and mice use to plug into the computer. Well, the connector sucks and has a tendency to tear away -- mine did and I had to replace it. So if you buy them, be sure to get everything set to go and just do it once -- don't keep plugging in and removing the connector -- or you might end up having to buy a new one. |
