Need new 2.0 Speaker

[Azuka09]

Hello my dear friends.
Yeah i am looking to buy me some nice new Speakers but im not a specialist on that field and don`t know what i should get. I only have little room so i am going for 2.0 Speakers, my pricetag is a maximum 100 Euro. What should i get.

I'm in the same boat as you mate. Shame you haven't got any reply's yet. I'm gonna have a look on amazon and see what's about.

I just got Microlab Solo 6C's. Well, more like a month ago. They're by no means small, quite big actually, probably too big to put on the sides of your screen. But they sound amazing. Well, for the price I got them at least - 80 pounds. You can get 1C's which are smaller and cheaper. My friend has them, he's really happy with them too. You would have to spend quite a bit more money to get anywhere close to that sound quality. So if you have space I definitely recommend them.

The microlabs series seem a good shout.

I'm considering getting some when I get more money -

I have mine up to a hifi though - which is incredibly good quality - and far cheaper than a 2.0 PC speaker solution, if you know what you're looking for.
It's just a little impractical if you have to move them.

Yeah I looked at them on amazon. They look pretty damn nice tbh. Think I will grab a set. One thing I want to ask though, does it come with the leads needed to connect it to your pc or do you buy that separate.

They with everything you need + a very nice remote. The only bad thing I could possibly see is that you can't change the bass and treble settings without the remote, as well as the input. But unless you break or loose the remote, it's all good. However, I would strongly suggest you to buy a new 3.5mm to 2RCA cable to connect it, cause the one that comes with it is pretty short and quite crap. The speakers themselves are quite high quality, it's just the wire. I bought a PURE HQ OFC 3 metre cable from Amazon for like 3 pounds. It's 99.9% copper and pretty thick, gold plated and all that... Also got a new wire to connect both speakers as I just needed a longer one, if you get one make sure its OFC as well and 14-16AWG would be perfect. Also got a set of gold plated banana plugs just to make it all nice and tidy, but those all are extras.

What are these lol. You are talking to a complete noob when it comes to connectors for speakers.

OFC just stands for oxygen-free copper, so it's a relatively high quality copper cable. 14-16AWG is the thickness of the cable. Usually folks try to recommend as thick a cable as possible, but most use 14AWG for home theaters and stuff. 16AWG is also thick enough imho. Banana plugs are just simple connectors which you screw on the ends of the wire and then plug into the speakers instead of just using the screw to tighten the wire to the speakers. But they're just an extra and don't REALLY influence the performance noticeably anyway. Well, for professionals they might... But this is not really the type of system, I just bought them cause they looked nice and made it all look beautiful, haha.
