£300 To Spend

Hello everyone,

Well I have been saving up for a while now and finally have £300 to unleash the FLAC's stored on my PC via some awsome new speakers!

So what I was looking at was the Logitech z5500, however reading around a lot I dont think are as good as I was thinking.

In one post I was reading somebody was saying about getting a reciever and some bookshelf speakers.

So I am pretty confused now. Can anybody recommend me a audio setup, just for music, which will sound great?

Thanks

Richard

Typically speaking, a receiver tends to have signficantly better AMPs, DACs, etc., then a PC sound card. Plus, receivers will power bookself speakers much better.

Instead of investing in a sound card you can run the HDMI out from your GPU to the receiver.

I don't know any good european sites to order from. But I do suggest some Polk Audio Mointor 40s.

YOu can do a lot better for 150 pounds speaker wise.

Go to a Hi Fi shop, tell them you want a receiver/amp and speakers for 150 respectively and you need HDMI or SPDIF (assuming you have these) input on it.

Have a look at the sound system I have in my signature. It's so good that the neighbours threatened to invite the police over at 2am to listen to my sounds.

ALL hi-fi shops are over priced.

Domino, I think he was saying for the OP to go to a Hi Fi shop to listen to some audio equipment and then he can judge what he wants by that.

I think that would the better thing to do, that's for sure. But he did say to ask for something in the price range of 150 per speaker. But I guess I could have mistaken what he was intending...

It could mean since its overpriced than he would be hearing 100 dollar speakers or pound speakers which can help in the decision.
