Looking for some good speakers, Need suggestions

[Bonka]

Not even sure if this thread belongs here, but here I go.

Looking for some decent, half arsed, (maybe full arsed) speakers w/ sub. Would definitely like the sub + 4 satellite setup if possible. Looking to spend no more than $150CDN (err, $95US).

I've read about the FPS2000, doesn't look like a good buy. I'm somewhat eyeing on the Altec Lansing ACS54.

:burn:

From what I've read at Epinions.com Boston Accoustics has the best 4.1 system for $99.50 at Best Buy.

i got the cambridge sound works which are fairly decent but even better for the price- about 40 bucks. I know you probably won't get them but they are pretty good for a quicky sound system. But mostly I just use headphones so I won't hear all my case fans and because i'm usually at lan parties.

I have seen and heard a great deal of the Altec Lansing range and they all are exceptionaly good imho. Not only do they generally sound crisp, clear and defined but they do have a good solid build quality.
Obviously the greater money can obtain you a better quality product, however if you can find a Altec Lansing product within your price range, they are well worth a look.

my buddy bought the 5 piece altecs lansenings...

I have the 3 piece..


both of us are very happy, u'd be amazed how much output they have for being so small... especially bass, they have a wooden sub box so it sounds solid..


he got them cheap at futureshop during boxing day sale, I think the still maybe on sale

50 CAN after mail in rebate... that's dirt cheap man..

Yes. That is the model I had my eye on. If nothing else tickles my fancy, Altec Lansing I go :D

I've also heard that the monsoons aren't very good.

I have the ACS 54 too, they ROCK especially since there so cheap :D

i got the Creative DTT3500 Digital 5.1 Speaker setup, costs around £200 but has 5 speakers a meaty sub and a Digital decoder, so no need to spend extra on a decent soundcard :D

i say go with the ACS54...i boughte the 5 piece system and they are good at any volume...suprisingly good for 40 watts...i have nothin but love for em. good for DVD playback too if you are interested in that.

WEll if you can scrape up a few more bucks, i would def. go for the Logitech Z-560s. 4.1 surround, with 400 watts. They are the same, if not better than the Klipsch 4.1s, but cost over 160 dollars less. I have them and love them to peices :)

[Bonka]

I don't mind to scrape in a few extra dollars for something better, but I've got other costs I need to put down for my system. I'll check out your suggestions. Thanks :D
