Looking for Speakers as good as my old trusty Yamaha YST-MS25

All_eBayed_Out

I'm struggling knowing what to buy for my laptop. I need some speakers that are as good as the Yamaha multimedia speakers that I bought 11 years ago for my pc. A few years ago I bought a JBL speaker system (they looked like the O2 arena) for £100 from PC World which ended up being such poor quality I took them back. Can anyone give me any advice of makes which are good or suggestions please?. I have a spec of the Yamaha speakers I presently have (maybe the spec looks a bit naff being so old but the quality is excellent)...

Satellite speakers output power: 5 Watts + 5 Watts.Subwoofer output power: 15 Watts.Satellite speakers frequency response: 100 Hz - 20 kHz.Subwoofer frequency response: 40 Hz - 250 Hz.Satellite speakers input impedance: 10k ohms.Satellite speakers input sensitivity: 200 mV.Satellite speaker: spruce pulp, 5 cm full-range cone speaker with magnetic shielding.Subwoofer: spruce pulp, 12 cm full-range cone speaker with magnetic shielding.Satellite speaker dimensions: W: 80 mm. x H: 70 mm. x 120 mm.Subwoofer dimensions: W: 148 mm. x H: 283 mm. x 210 mm.Satellite speakers weight: 0,35 kg.Subwoofer weight: 4 kg.

They're about £110 but they're well worth every single penny.

What are those things made of - granite?

Despite being only 103mm tall and 68mm wide, they weigh 9k, far heavier than something of that size looks. If you’re in need of an offensive weapon these would be scarily effective.

I've been a music producer on the side for years.

Why ditch the 'trusty' Yamaha's?
Funnily enough I just ordered brand new Yamaha MS50ms, active monitors - the best bang for your buck at £125 each. They give an utterly flat sound - in other words they reproduce the sound the music engineers created, but this is lost of Joe Public than tend to want an un natural boosted sound.

Yamaha made the greatest monitor speakers of all time in 1978 - the NS10's, which are still in much demand today, so don't assume something new will be better.

I'm not ditching Yamahas. No way. I live at 2 different addresses and so I have my latop here and no decent speakers, other property has the PC and speakers. If I could I would buy the same speakers, but soooo expensive for the new Yamaha stuff. The quality is amazing on them.

Thank you for your replies people. :beer:
