Hello all,
I have 3 questions.
I have about $170 to spend...
Should I buy more home theater speaker equipment or a complete computer speaker setup? If I got computer speakers I would simply hook up my receiver to my TV, that would be pretty nice. I would also buy a DVD/CD player for it, later down the road.
For computer speakers, I was thinking of the 5.1 Altec Lansing 5100 or the 4.1 Altec Lansing 641. The 5100's look nicer, and of course are 5.1, but are very underpowered. The 641's are a beast, alot of wattage but of course 4.1, but they look pretty nice too. The 5100's are $119 and the 641's are $148. I think I would be more satisfied by the 641's - I'm a power hungry guy, especially when it comes to speakers. I'd primarily play games and listen to alot of music.
My last question is this: for the home theater equipment should I buy new floorstanding speakers or a subwoofer? Currently I don't have a subwoofer, and my floorstanders now are damaged and sound incredibly bad. Can anyone reccomend to me some good, cheap floorstander or subwoofers? I had a few models in mind, by Cambridge Soundworks. Preferably from somewhere with free shipping
Thanks in advance!
