I want a nice Pc sound system

[trevor87 5,000+ posts]

I wanna stay under 50 dollars and ive heard the dell series sub/speakers that come with those computers. I really like the Harmon Kardon HK395 set it has the amount of bass i want and sounds good enough for me.

Just wondering if u have any other suggestions to look for as far as a pc system.

Or would a cheap plate amp/sub be better?

link to harmon kardon i like

what i did is i went to a garage sale got a home audio set-up (for 25 bucks) and hooked it up, i have surround sound (2 front 2 rears) they get loud and itsd just awesome......................so if your into that look @ garage sales or craigslist, they will have plenty of stuff

soon i want to up grade to a deck instead of a home audio reciever //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

For REAL SQ on a pc you will need two things, first a decent sound card, I dont give a crap how nice your onboard is, a descrete DSP will murder onboard any day of the week. Secondly, your speakers. I have the logitech z-5500s paired with a Audigy X-fi Extreme Music. Unbelivable. I know thats alot more than you planned to spend, however logitech makes a 2.1 version of the z-5500s which is they same thing without the center, left rear, and right rear. Dont know what it goes for but that would be what i recommend, and you can get a Audigy2 ZS for like 50 bucks, it doesnt hold a candle to the X-fi but it will kick the shit out of onboard. Klipsch makes some real nice 2.1 solutions also. Depends all on how seriously you take your PC sound. When i heard my z-5500s for the first time i pack up my $600 home sterio system and sold it.

not really wanting anything amazing just a decent sounding setup which i have now but i have no sub for any kind of bass or low end so i want a new setup that comes with the sub. and the harmon kardon that i heard sounded loud enough to me

Thats cool, buy what makes you happy. I just find myself upgrading my upgrades because i like something at first then i see something alittle better and so on and so on (like caraudio hehe). Im a big fan of buying things once.

If it's like the Logitech systems I've heard, no...

"Computer" sound systems are poor substitutes for the real thing.

The only "computer" system I've liked was the Boston Acoustics I use to have.

The logitech systems I've heard/had all sounded like pooh.

I like my Klipsch 2.1 setup a lil more now than i did when i got it... The bass is descent but the speakers are top notch .. PAid 150 with 2 yr warranty.. But klipsch makes cheaper ones i think
