best or good enough desktop speakers

[holdencaulfield]

The low-end Altecs probably aren't that durable pero I can attest to the durability of the high-end, flagship models. My Altec 621 still rocks the neighborhood with its clean tight sound.

Anyway, sana naman di sirain ang current Altecs (they were taken over by Plantronics na)

I'm eyeing the MX6021 or its update (MX7021). Even at <10k, it still very much worth it kasi ang tagal mo ito gagamitin.

Labtec (I had the pulse 424 for a start) was bought by Logitech before they flooded the market with low-priced, good quality speakers. ( I had the z680 and two z5500). Those two can literally shake your neighbor's roof - i know because I've tried it so many times at midnight (with sats off, of course).

The pulse 424 was a great 2.1 speaker system because it used a sealed sub radiator. Tight, loud, strong bass. Problematic lang connector nun kasi nga sobrang lakas natatangal. They should have secured it with screws.

Now, with two children, I've long sold my super loud sound systems. I can't use it anyway (and deplete its monetary value). I just retained my trusty 621 to play classical music round the clock.

BTT

if you can find a second hand Altec 621, 641, CS21, MX5021, Creative Gigaworks S750, Logitech z2300, get it. You will not regret it, believe you me.

try ko nga yan. medyo habol ko yung tweets para sa crash ng cymbals, sana maganda tunog. medyo secondary lang yung subs.

Dum dum dum! Sorry took a long time to reply. Di ko napansin yun tab ko sa thread (naaubutan ko pa page 2 ).

When it comes to "computer" speakers, Logitech Edifier and Altec Lansing gets my nod. However, my recent favorite would probably be HiVi or for 6,600php their D1080MKII gets my vote (TipidPC.com | spk: Swans HiVi (D1080MKII) 2.0). If you're not worried about the lack of bass and is very particular on the midrange and tweeters, take a peek at M-Audio's Studiophile AV30 at JB Music outlets (M-AUDIO - Studiophile AV 30 - Compact Monitor Speakers for Professional-Quality Media Creation).

As Altec... well, in terms of brand heritage, I don't think many people are even aware that the L in JBL stands for Lansing *wink* and no, they aren't owned by Plantronics nowadays but rather by Infinity Group (holding company yan). They've been actually aggressively lately sa new product developments nila.. I'm on a wait-and-see attitude whether they can bring back the old 1960s glory of Altec.

Those Edifier R2700 Studio 7 studio monitors might look attractive, but the 6.5" midbass driver will be TOO capable. If you're going to mount that on an ordinary desk, you'll be hearing your table resonate with the bass lines. This is why I recommend 2.1 systems instead for computer systems as you can mount the subwoofers down below where their rubber feet makes them less... well... less "vibrate-ey"

But if you were to like the Edifiers, get the younger sibling at 4k (http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/vi...ds/id/15286936). A two-way system is more than enough for most people.

Thank you for the correction. Binitawan na pala ng Plantronics last 2009 pa. Back in 2005-06, I'm one of those who were eagerly waiting for the HMX7051 which was never released. I hope they still consider producing this particular model. Plantronics probably shelved it because it's supposed to cost north of $500 (which is okay given what one will get but higher compared to the massively successful $399 Logitech flagship z5500).

I was hoping na bibilhin ito ng JBL
