Comments on: How to Buy Computer Speakers

on 8/18/2006 If you are used to high-end gear, there are few choices out there for speakers for your PC. First off:
Avoid fools gold such as Logitech, Bose, Altec, etc. These brands are highly marketed, cheaply produced, mediocre sounding junk. You should look at the Swans M200, generally recognized among audiophiles as one of the best powered computer speakers out there. You might also want to take a look at the Audioengine speakers. They are direct marketed and reportedly very good. Some discontinued models to look for are the LFT-11 flat panels and the Jamo Multimedia series.

I have personally owned the LFT-11's (Mini desktop Magneplaners), Swans, and Jamo's and I prefer the Jamo's.

on 2/28/2006 Logitech makes some of the best non-professional speakers that money can buy. My 680's almost make your ears bleed. The 5000 Series is even better, approaching studio monitor quality.

Let us not forget Klipsch. These are the real deal. Expensive and worth every penny.

Bottom line; listen to the speakers with your favorite type of music before buying. If you are a casual listener, you can save hundreds of dollars, or if you are an audiophile, you can spend hundreds of dollars!
