Has there ever been a better set of speakers ever made? i have had my logitechs for almost 9 years now and they are still running like new
>logitech
Literally any set of monitor speakers will blow those out of the water. Fuck, I bet my $150 m-audio pair is louder than those without an amp
>>52581876
There's plenty of better ones but Logitechs, despite /g/'s autistic opinion, are great.
Logitech also has GOAT customer service, so even if your stuff is 8 years out of warranty, they will hook you up if it goes bad.
>>52581927
talking about reliability. they are perfectly loud enough. mine only cost $80 nzd too
>>52581960
>they are perfectly loud enough
implying that the louder it gets the better the sound
>>52582127
no not >implying. meaning that the range of volume attainable while retaining quality is satisfactory
Í've had the exact same set for years before I upgraded to rokit 5's, which was a huge improvement, then I upgraded to adam A7X's and that was an even better investment and the best sound i've ever had
Bought these for cheap on ebay in 2005 and they're still kicking. Strictly pc speakers though, I go Onkyo for the living room.

Besides loudness, monitors will give you noticeably more accurate audio reproduction. I tested a range of "computer" speakers including Logitechs in the same price range. I bought my current monitors because hearing them next to any of those was like night and day at even low to mid volume. Build quality wise, they seem much sturdier but that may be subjective. I can guarantee the internals will last much longer though.
>>52581876
I am still using mine, only that 2 of the speakers broke and the main unit has a loose wire somewhere so the sound sometimes cut out if i move the cable
>Reliability
i could really use a new set of speakers
Logitech makes some okay stuff. I bought the z-506 for around $60 almost a year ago.
Still works flawlessly and sounds great.
My only complaint is that the sub is a little weak. But, I have sound blaster cinema, so I was able to set the gain a little bit higher.
>>52584021
Same here, already 5+ years with it and still works perfectly.
In my case, I had to lower the sub gain to stop the whole table shaking.
>>52584107
Do you have a daq or anything like that?
>>52584166
or dac. Whatever the kids are calling that shit these days.
>>52581876
I couldn't find a better picture, but I've had these Yamaha speakers for years and they still sound amazing.
YSTMS35D if anyone is interested.
>>52581876
Have the exact same ones, working very well still.
>>52582165
It really isn't. I have the same setup and I agree with you on the fact that they last forever, mine are about as old as yours. But they are not good in any way and I'm honestly tempted to just replace them with some 2.0 setup because subwoofer is annoying as fuck, takes space, doesn't really do much if anything and when i want to actually listen to music I use headphones.
It's good setup if you are a middle schooler blasting garbage music at full volume to make your neighbor life miserable, otherwise not so much.
>>52584166
>>52584187
No, but my room is small and my display is on top of the sub.
I've got a set of Harmon Kardon desktop speakers from the 90s thatll blow those out of the water. Thinking of getting a sub for them soon too. Cost me fifty cents
>>52584788
Damn. I wish mine was as loud as yours. I don't have any carpet or anything to dampen the sound, so I'm not sure why it's so quiet.
>>52584893

I have the port facing the wall to give it something to load off of and that seems to help.
>>52585064
imagine it like bass in a drub set
place clothe like material in front of it
though it might not be close enough to the wall
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
waht do yall think of these
is there anything better i could get for around $150?
>>52581876
This Logitech set is one of the models I looked at ~10 years ago before deciding on the Altec Lansing FX6021 speakers. I'm very happy with the fx6021 and I hope they last for a while longer. Happy to hear the Logitechs are good too.
>>52585314
150 is bit high friend got it for 110 on sale for that price no you can beat them. For 150 is moot point, because you can get decent 3 inch monitors for 75 and 10 inch sub for another 100. An they be legues better than klips because they have amp for every speaker and not rely on some cheepo D class amp for the satelites.
Plebs.
Got the t7700 10 years ago, for 80$ new.
Still rocking
>>52581876
70W per satellite.
210W sub-woofer.
A lot more power than the Logitech Z5500.
Is there no way>>52585636

Try 40.
I've got an old set of Bose Cinemates hooked up because they use standard auxiliary to plug in, they're fucking great. Insanely clear sound, sub is phenomenal, and best of all they were free.
My nigger friend blew my Logitech sub making beats in fruity loops.
His name is keenanza look up the band camp or SoundCloud for a laff.
I still use the speakers almost 3 years later
>tfw stopped using PC speaker kits and went from Creative S750 to these with the Zensor Sub.
PC speaker kits no more.
>>52585314
>>52585636
for something you can walk into best buy and take home, they're great. I love mine.
you can do better for the money, sure, but they're still better than anything logitech.
anybody here use DFX audio enhancer? since i started using it i can't listen to music without it. i've got a cheap set of logitech 2.1's at work the z313 model and DFX makes them listenable.
>>52586447
Proper speakers are truly the way to go. Way better than anything Logitech.
>>52581941
Honestly I've been impressed with Logitech's support in the past, but the last two times I've called, they've been pretty shit.
>>52581876
allow me to interject and remind everyone that logitech speakers are low-tier in terms of audio quality and real speakers are superior to any logitech or plebeian meme monitor-speaker garbage when cost is not a issue
>>52586384
isn't it strange how plebeians have no idea how well mechanical speakers endure and sustain quality for decades, and are not aware that "old" speakers may be three to four magnitudes better in output quality than any of the mid-priced shit that is peddled by Magnolia in Best Buy
can anyone point me to a monitor speaker buying guide? or recommend me some in the $200-$300 price range?
>>52589419
same guy, anyone like these?

>British speakers
do they give a british accent to any vocals played through them? that could make them worth the price
>>52590463
British speakers tend to sound harsh, and are overpriced for poor performance(add unnecessary shit like diamond tweeters).
American speakers are superior, mostly because jbl
>>52590463
british-designed speakers tend to have a certain sound signature
>>52590455
>I'm going to quote a bunch of posts to fish for reactions!
>>52590496
british-designed speakers that are cheaply made tend to sound harsh when driven with shitty underpowered amps and fed with garbage signal from a garbage preamp and source
well-made british speakers driven by superior amplifiers and modulated by superior preamps and fed with a high quality source tend to sound more refined and realistic than the usual blare of jbl garbage driven by shitty receiver-type amps purchased by plebes
quick question: are dali loudspeakers viable for pc?
>>52584016
>Mfw l own that exact set
Is there a good infographic for bookshelf speakers?
>>52590574
>thinking that will fix the "British" sound
You can't fix shitty xover points with an amp
Also American amps are superior and are not overpriced garbage
>>52590669
Do not buy flaunce unless you can eq them with a powerful amp
>>52590656
pc-->preamp-->amp-->dali
>>52590691
thanks for your opinion
anybody got these. The price looks good considering they're Sony.
But wondering if they're worth it and not you get what you pay for.
>>52590718
When it comes to audio, America is always superior
>>52581876
i had these, but sadly they broke after a few years. switched to the more expensive g51, which suck in comparison. now i'm going for some edifier 2.0 speakers.
two inch drivers are going to sound like ass no matter how many there are.
and the sub isn't making up for it.
This applies to basically all computer speakers ever made. 2" drivers with a 6" sub is just a shitty system regardless of how nice they look or how long they last
>>52590765
I used to own a pair of these. Pretty low sensitivity, but good for filling out the last two channels on your surround sound if you aboslutely need it. For $50, I'm neutral on them.
>>52581960
Nzfag here I used to work for ingram micro 9 years ago, we flooded the market with these beasts. Could never get enough of them - atleast 20 pallets a week nationwide.
>>52590455
>Check out the overly defensive anti-logitech guy who hates bang-for-your-buck
I've been using these for about 10 years and they've been switched on the whole time
granted they aren't designed to be computer speakers, and they're disgustingly overpowered for a computer workstation setting.
>>52590824
thanks for the sanity
>>52590765
the problem with speakers and MSRP+brand is the same problem with headphones and MSRP+brand
>>52590855
harsh treble, no bass
EDIFIER R1700BT
Wavemaster Cube
Harman/Kardon Soundsticks III
Logitech Z623
Which one should i pick?
What do I need to look for in speakers? Hi-Fi is not one of my strengths
>>52590989
depends on what you listen to
if you're not really into music then standard computer speakers is fine
>>52591009
Mostly rap and electronic. I like bass, but ironically my last speakers had a very dominant bass, which I did not really enjoy. I'm looking for something more balanced.
>>52591023
rap and electronic:
you probably would enjoy a higher quality powered subwoofer (10 or 12 inch) with a better driver component -- ~$150 to $200 used
>>52591100
I'll see what I can find on eBay, thank you.
all these anons are so impressed that cheapo computer speakers last a long time.
This shouldn't be surprising. these things hardly move any air at all. they put virtually zero stress on their cabinets, and a lot of times the cones aren't even flexible, they're like metal or hard plastic. more likely hard plastic painted to look like metal
>>52591124
if you have craigslist in your area and post your budget, i can find a few picks for you
since im waiting for a video to finish rendering
>>52591128
people seldom listen to speakers much less examine speakers before they buy them to see how much the midrange or bass drivers actually travel
speakers suck ass
sound is for fags
My Altec Lansing are almost 13 years old, and to this day they fucking rock.(atp3-3)
>>52591830
I've got a similar set of Altec Lansings and those downfiring woofers are fucking garbage, I've had to put out an amber alert in hopes that some blessed soul will find my missing mids.
>>52584021
Man, I bought these and then moved house a few months later. Didn't really have room for 7.1 any more so I cut out the two rear speakers. Kind of a waste really, probably could have just bought a better set of 2.1 speakers
>>52590703
>DALI Zensor 1 for $475.
That's almost what I bought the Zensor 5 for.
Zensor 1 cost me $314, two years ago, now they are $279.
>>52591414
Im sorry you don't enjoy bass

would you suggest this purchase?

>https://columbiamo.craigslist.org/ele/5416993611.html
they are not giving you an actual picture, probably a scam, also no
>>52581876
I've had the same kind for the last 9 years too, cost me $60 at best buy. Still running strong
>>52596375
1. the electronics are about 10 years old or more
2. the "speakers" are okay but not great, but
3. its not that expensive for the electronics if they are in good condition
as other anon said theres no real pic but you could ask for a few through email
the receiver is about $75 on ebay
its an okay system
>>52596394
>>52597655
ty for the feedback
I will keep my search else where
>>52584021
These sound pretty good if you set up the rear speakers properly.
Its not 5.1, but its still nice.
