speakers...
 

can anyone recommend me any good pair of speakers?

i'm thinking of getting this one, is it worth buying?

Although I cant really comment on the 621's, as I havent heard them myself, for quality PC speakers you really cant go wrong with Altec Lansing.

I've had my ATP5 for a little over two years now, and they still pump out perfect sound (coupled with a really nice sound card that is).

You could also use your home hi-fi system. It's cheaper and sounds better than pc-speakers :)

I have the 621's. Looks great and sounds great. The sub works really good too. I haven't had any problems with it. Overall... I think they are pretty good speakers.

Just remember to get a decent sound card with it... can't have great sound coming out of it with a crappy $2 sound card.

i don't think i can use my home hi-fi speakers though.

thanks guys.

Almost anything by Altec should be plenty fine for use with a computer. I can't really say I have had any problems in the past with them as computer speakers (granted I wouldn't think of hooking them into my stereo.

You don't exactly need Gershman or Axiom on a computer. Unless, of course, you actually have a high end sound card and programs to make proper use of it. However, those are not exactly something that you see in most peoples computers.

are those better then the 7.1 ?? i was planning to get those..... whats the price for the 621 ??

not sure...i can get it for 115 US$, but amazon.com is selling for 149 US$.

Erm... 612 is a 2.1 setup, two satelites and a subwoofer. So you can't really make any comparison this way. 2.1 is good for general use, 5.1 and above are best for movies. Generally, price is a good indication of quality sound. So if you are talking about that, a 2.1 setup will most likely sound better if both are at the same price.

621 is altec lansing's best offering for 2.1 setup from right now. Good bass IMO... ;)
