PC Speakers

Post by Bob Garage »

As I have converted most of my albums to mp3 and stored them on my PC I have now started to notice that my (fairly bog standard) pc speakers are a big pile of crap.

Can anyone recommend a good set of PC speakers that aren't too expensive?

I can recommend Genius 5.1 SW-HF 5005. I got that and just simply love it. The wooden box is much better than the plastic in my view... and by the way it wasn't that expensive either.

ooo nice I wouldn't mind some of them!

I'd need to get a soundcard though wouldn't I. My speakers just run of a stereo lead it's just not the same...
