speakers

KLIPSCH

I have the Logictech Z-640s are they are so good my ears bleed in delight.

They're also extremely cheap; all you need for 5.1 PC gaming, DVD watching and .mp3 listening.

I've got z640's... fairly nice... good bass...

Only thing I could use on them is a remote.. the damn volume knob is far away and small.

I have the Z-680 and it's VERY nice. The most important feature for me was that I can use them as a home theatre and for gaming on any platform.

Quote from DUFFY

im very torn between both the 680 and 640i want to know how far my $140 will go and if its really worth it for me. its going to be mostly for pc gaming.

If it's only for PC gaming and not for a Home Theatre system, then save some cash and plump for the delightful 640s.

I have a different suggestion altogether... I have the Altec Lansing 621's... they're not THX... but they're realllly good speakers. I did alot of research before I took the plunge on speakers, and I haven't been disappointed. Just as much power as a 2.1 Klipsch set (200 watts), but it's something different. I personally think they sound better despite the lack of THX moniker that you pay for. There is a 4.1 (5.1 too?) set by a different moniker as well. Not sure of the exact model number. At the time I was also considering a Midiland 8200 set. All I can say really is to do some research. There are lots of reviews, don't just buy Klipsch or whoever's just cause everyone's like... "OMFG SO 133+!" There are some really nice computer speakers out there that aren't discussed much in gaming communities and lots of sites review them. So read up!

EDIT: On checking they don't make the 621's anymore. Too bad too. They are however still availible from certain places. They're really nice speakers. If you don't believe me there are many many reviews online that agree with me.
