Looking for a good set of speakers

[Ss_J9_Goten]

Hi.

 

 

 

So I'm looking for a good set of speakers. Currently my budget is ~$200 but I'm willing to wait a week when it'll be ~$400-450. I'll mostly be using them to listen to music, so sound quality is essential. I must also be able to plug them into an mp3 player.

 

 

 

Bear in mind that I live in Australia, so everything is going to be more expensive. I know a couple of websites that sell speakers but their range is kind of limited so if you want to suggest something that they don't sell I'll just do a bit of searching and see if I can find them elsewhere.

 

 

 

Websites:

 

 

 

Really Limited range :lol:

 

 

 

Much better range; I can't currently use any of the payment options for this site but if they have good speakers then by all means say so and I'll hunt for them.

 

 

 

Another Website; keep in mind with this site that they can only ship packages under 3kg to my area.

 

 

 

So thanks in advance and looking forward to your replies :D

this here is a nice Aussie site to tell you the best price for the speakers once you find the kind you like (you can even just search speakers to find some) http://staticice.com.au/

Thanks for the link, it looks pretty useful :)

 

 

 

I've done a little bit of digging and found that the general consensus is that 2.0 systems and 2 channel amps w/ floor speakers are good for listening to music. What are the differences between the two and how much would I be looking at for a 2 channel amp w/ floor speakers?

if it is the same amp as a guitar amp, then it will have levels and stuff with each, and you will be able to have each at different volumes, overkill tbh, I personally would just go with some speakers with a nice bass, I myself will be getting a set soon, sub broke and speakers seem to be getting worse :?

well, i don't know if newegg ships to austrailia, but i bought a good set of speakers from there the other day, even is mp3 player compatible, you just plug it into the volume remote that sits on your desk.

Here's another good option... At least Logitech is still selling direct to Australia on these...

 

(Sure wish they were with the USA...)

I have the X-530, they are really good for the price.

i have them aswell and are more than satisfied. i got them for $100 Australian at ebay games a couple of years back when they had them $50 off (from $150 originally).

 

there would be better ones out there but you would be struggling to find any better for the price.

 

They don't have a mp3 player plug though
