another great buy for speakers are the benwin 5.1 speaker systems. The sub is a down firing one that stands either on a desk or shelf, you could also put it on a floor. the sats. are five of them the front two have 15 feet of speaker whire per speaker so does the center channel. the rear speakers have 25 feet of speaker whire per speaker. the speakers are flat pannel, full range speakers. total out put power isanywhere from 680 wats of total power or 1000 wats of total power, the remote can control volume and speaker ajustments. these speakers can be used for computers, tvs, stereo recivers, portable devices. sound quality is simply amazing. set up only takes under 5 minutes. the company will also walk you through how to hook up the speakers for 5.1 simulated surround sound or true 5.1 surround sound. the speakers cost 150 dollars us and are well above any speakers i have heard in this price range. base response deffinitly will shake the glass in the room. if anyone wants the url for them it is http://www.benwin.com or google benwin. I can also give you the phone number to call if you would like to speakto them, they also told me they are working on a 7.1 system as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" <grtd...@internode.on.net> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <Pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2011 9:58 PM Subject: Computer Speakers
Hi! I've been on this list for what.. 10 years now? Well however long its been one of the most often asked questions pertains to a good set of computer speakers, I just bought a pair of Altec Lansing Expressions Plus speakers so I'll summarise my findings on them for anyone interested in purchasing a reasonable speaker system for their PC. To put it bluntly these speakers are excellent value given that they're priced for under $100.00. The system consists of 3 speakers, 2 satellites and a bass woofer, all the circuitry for the system is in the woofer unit. I've not sen a woofer design such as this, its a cone shape and is designed to sit on a desk or a shelf rather than the floor. This is the first speaker system where I've seen a bass adjustment on the woofer, extremely handy I must say if you're wanting to do a little "midnight blasting" and you don't want to wake the neighbours or you have the woofer sitting next to you on your desktop. I like the sound of this system, bass is at a level which arouses the interest of a pair of ears but its not over baring as some cheaper speaker systems are, certainly the Logitech system I had was dreadful in this regard. Mid range and top frequencies are very pronounced and perhaps the mid range too much so. In short, don't buy the $20.00 pair of speakers, save your money and buy this pair and you'll be well pleased. If you want to further fine tune your listening experience through a 2.1 channel speaker system then take your ears up to the top Altec Lansing model in the 2.1 range which is the "Expressions Ultra", more about this shortly. You can read a detailed review of the Altec Lansing Expressions Plus Speakers on my blog at http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com which will be available shortly.
