Suggestions please:
I am about to head of to college, I need some good fucking speakers for my pc.
I can't stand shitty-ness when I listen to music. But I dont plan on spending more than like $100. What is my best bet?
-Thanks

^hehe :)...
I've got a nice pair of Yamaha YST speakers with my PC at home...2 little satelite speakers & a SubBass unit...
Great Sound...and the subbass box adds another dimension...
Don't know how much they cost but I reckon you'll easily pick a set up for <$100....

hello mr kryocera heres a quick note- to make quality sounding mixes on your pc you must use flat responce speakers, these are specialy acousticly tested monitor speakers and they are flat responce, meaning that they are not like hi-fi speakers (which are often warmed up ie they are made in such a way as to give lower bass frequencies) flat responce means just that, they will give you a true sound rather than a hi fi boosted interpritation!
if i make music using my home hifi amp and speakers when i come to play the end results back at a friends house or in the car the sound is more than often flat and not very entertaining!
where as the tunes i make on the flat responce monitors sound full and have a bit more depth (if the music sounds good on the flats then it will definately sound good on a home hifi system)
in most studios from bedroom home kits to massive studios the industry standard flat responce speaker is this one -

the yamaha ns10s i think are not being made any more, but they do have a younger brother check them out on the yamaha site????

dingle...that's just for Music Making/Mixing tho, isn't it?...
Flat Response speakers will sound pretty dull if you're listening for pleasure...

yep your right mr jand, i just thought that fuck it! buy nice monitors for making music and buy huge old wooden speakers from a junk electrical store (my speakers i bought the other day are huge KEFs and they tump like bitch!)
if i had the money id buy a posh stereo but i want more synths and a computer b4 all that!

under $100 dollars?
Altec Lansing ATP 3 Altec Lansing ATP 3
i was in teh same boat as u a month or two ago...... i needed good speakers w/a subwoofer for no more than $100...
these are good the sub is very very nice... it CAN be very powerful if u want it to, yet its usually not to intrusive
the volume and bass/trebble controls are right on the sattelite so its easy to access (some companies put the controls on the subwoofer!)
the sound is very nice and clear at up to medium volumes.....
of course it loses clarity if it gets really loud, but these are 100 dollars what do u expect
