General discussion

computer speakers?

Oct 1, 2006 4:36AM PDT

My 6 y/o set of 5.1 altec lansing self powered speakers took a dump and I am searching for new ones. All the electronic places have the same old limited selection of systems. Been looking online at some attractive ones but don't want to buy without listening first.

Looking for a 2.1 or 5.1 set with really good sound (of course) for around $100. I also use them for teaching a fitness class (spin) so something with at least 50W are needed.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've listened to both at Bestbuy and didn't like the sound.
