does this look good?

My gut says you could get something better for the money. Logitech makes great systems, Klipsch is also great.

Something around this:

I'd say head over to your local best buy/circuit city/compusa/whatever and demo some speakers. We can talk about speakers all day, but each set will sound a little different to each person. Write down some models you like and brands, and go from there.

When it comes to a 5.1 system I beleive that Logitech has the edge, but in the 2.1 arena the Klipsch Pro Media is the stand out.

Klipsch 2.1 promedia or you can get the 5.1!!! i just bought a klipsch for 150 and i got to say, I LOVE IT!

Here is what I did, but I already had a SONY receiver. I bought some new CERWIN VEGA E710's Floor speakers $129...... GET SOME!

CERWIN VEGA E710
# Delivers 200 Watts of sound out of a 10" Woofer inside a diecast aluminum frame
# 5 1/4" midrange
# Dome Tweeter
# Midrange & tweeter level controls
# 8 Ohms


Man I've played Call of Duty with just one...................OMG this will drown any of that little logitech crap they call "systems". If you have a receiver, this is the ultimate way to go IMHO.



The CERWIN VEGA E712 Floor Standing Speaker - Black is only $159 (12" sub)

MP3 Adapter, Connects CPU To Stereo, upto 50ft for $14

sony and cerwin vega? pffffft

how bout a onkyo/denon/yamaha receiver and a good bookshelf or floorstanding deal not from sony, cerwin vega, or brands like that, and a velodyne sub

[Jame Gumb]

The sony is from 1997 works great and cerwin vega is a name that can be heard for miles.

[R4z0r4mu5 Pr|m3]

not an audiophile myself, but any audiophile will tell you those 2 brands are sub par for receivers and speakers

this thread should be helpful if you decide to get a receiver and speakers:

with a $250 budget, this is a nice receiver with a 1 year warranty for $100 shipped, a/b speaker setup so you can use b for the stereo you want in one room and the option to use surround in another room:

and the Infinity Primus 150 bookshelf is on sale at onecall.com for $60 a piece with free 3 day shipping:

and voila you have a nice stereo system for $220, no sub though, velodynes are $$$, however the infinitys go down to 58hz so what the hey

I use a pair of Athena AS-B1 bookshelfs coupled with the cheapest receiver i could find, and it sounds amazing. If you want the best sound possible, a home theatre setup will sound immensly better than a set of computer speakers.

I really like my Paradigm Titans with my Panasonic XR55, but that's out of your price range. Athena AS-B1s, a cheap receiver and that one 12" powered Dayton subwoofer from partsexpress, however, is not outside your budget.
