Computer Speakers with subwoofer!!

lazymoezy

I currently have the LOGITECH SPEAKER X-230 2.1, they are very good but looking for something a bit more powerful and with more bass. I like the bass feature on these and was looking for somehting with the same feature.

What dies the 2.1, 5.1 etc mean? Not looking to spend more than £35, either 2, 3 or 4 speakers.

Would like somehting with higher watts than what I got now.

Thanks,

2.1: 2 speakers, one subwoofer
4.1: 4 speakers, 1 sub etc

you can get up to 7.1 surround sound systems

Oh ok thanks. My lOgitech ones have got 32 watts or somethin, cant remember, well I want something with more watts!

Any good place to look for them?

I believe that....

the main number is for how many audio channels are available and the .1 refers to the subwoofer

2.0 being a left and a right with no subwoofer

2.1 being a left and a right with subwoofer

5.1 being a front left, front right, back left, back right, centre channel and a subwoofer

bear in mind that you need a sound card in your computer that can handle 5.1 to actually experience surround sound on your movies

yea ebuyer.com and dabs.com are a good place to start lots of nice reviews from customers which can usually be trusted

Someone has offered me this

Is it better than the Logitech X230? I should be getting that one above for £30 ish!

The speakers you have are one of the best bits of kit for the money. To get anything better or worth changing to will cost you a lot of money.

Personally I would stick with what you have unless you are willing to fork out in excess of £100.

You need to do a search on reviews of speakers. What do you want them for?

I'm not a gamer bit they seem to like 5.1 sets, 5.1 sets are also good for movies. But if its just for music 2.1s are the ones to have.

Logitech Z-2300 might be worth a look Have a look at the review here.

Might aswell keep them then. Thought I could get soemthing better around the £30-£40 mark. I got the 2.1, I would like to add 1 if not 2 more speakers? Can I buy them seperatly or would I need to buy the hwole set again?

Unless you have a sound card that can support 5.1 then there will be no benefit. In my view 5.1 is the only step up worth taking
