hey I was wanting to get some half way decent 5.1 speakers for around $100. Who makes them?

I'm more concerned with sound quality than noise level

specific model numbers would be nice... and if you're feeling especially helpfull a link would be nice =)

Thanks

I picked up a 4.1 system a while ago.. logitech speakers and they do a good job.

Altec Lansing 5.1speakers are a good buy for the quality!!

speaking of speakers, I saw these jbl speakers at bestbuy which were off the hook, don't know what model thugh =( but they were 120

You guys were too slow to reply, I already ordered the set of 5.1 logitech, they got good reviews so we'll see how they sound when they get here =)

happy birthday to me heh

I always preferred Cambridge over Logitech...

I'm not trying to be an ass, but for $100 you're better off buying good headphones. Expect to pay about $100 per speaker if you want any real quality; only my opinion, of course.

lucky for my pocketbook - I'm not an audiophile =)

I'm sure $100 speakers will suit me fine for the time being

Have you compared the $100 5.1 set to a good pair of headphones? I'm serious when I say I think that's the better deal for the money.

you gotta be kidding.. Eagle you get the positional audio for playing games on the computer and use your home theatre for music.

Here's a sweet setup you might want to try out ... for anyone who's low on $ and wants descent sound. Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 about 29.99, which is two sats plus a descent woofer (unless you crank it too loud... it'll start coughing), plus 2 Koss/Labtec/Altec speakers... you can use a config like if you have SBLive and on. Keep the extra two (which costs like 10 btw) at the back and Cambridge at the front with the sub to the side... very nice sound imo. Almost as good as my headphones... and the thing with headphones is that you can't really hear anything else ... which scares me... -_- ... peace.

I got my home stereo sytem hooked up to mine its a 8 speaker setup 5.1/6.1 setup total output for all speakers is 1200 watts rms

my f'ing neighbours hate me when i play ut2003 lol volume cranked up to full

My logitech 4.1 setup is plenty loud enough and sounds fine..

My home theatre doesn't consist of surround sound.. I don't like it in movies for some reason.. I'd like it if I had a vidscreen on all 4 walls then maybe surround sound would make a little bit more sense... so I have 2 big stereo speakers come up passed my waste..

LOL

If that's your problem, you need a pair of "open" headphones, which don't block outside sound. Of course, anyone around you will hear whatever you're listening to.

Enough said. Great loudspeakers are way better than headphones anyway.

mmm 5.1 i have Creative labs 5.1 but for some odd reason i can't get my center speaker to work that pisses me off, i should have gotten the 4.1's if i knew this was going to happen, i tes them and it says it works, damnit, anyways there alright i payed $81 at a Computer fair but i saw them on a site for like $54 and there decent for speakers even if there only 40watts which sucks but they Sound Great 2 me

I Particulary enjoy the Random Capitol letters.

Hey, I'll take that over no capital letters. I've known someone who's keyboard apparantly lacked both period and shift keys.

oops....LOL......

Come on fellas, at least he can spell. LOL

Wireless headphones rock!

They do rock.....mmmm always wanted to get those SONY 1's that cost around $130 to $150 bucks, damn thats alot of money though, but they kick some pretty good a**
