Computer PC Speakers

[Deleted member 21258]

My old speaker bass/control unit & on/off/volume switch separately but it has broke itself, had it for years.

Would like similar to the old setup (a couple of speakers and a bass unit, or combined if they sound good but must have a quick on/off/volume switch so I can turn it off quickly)

Anyone have any ideas on a good sounding setup, suppose wouldn't spend more than £50 on the setup (but may spend upto £100 if it had its own higher output sound card, to create better and louder music of say 50-100 watts, think I saw a setup that had its own sound card?)?

Found a few setups, on places like argos, but then read reviews and if just confused me, what would work and what would sound okay ?

Any ideas, The speaker in the monitor does not sound good and can barely hear it

Many thanks.

Got one of these on my son's gaming rig and its impressive for the size and cost.

Check out the Creative Sound BlasterX Kratos S3. It features 92 watts peak power.

Thanks for the replies, that's great.

92W for a PC system? Slight overkill no?
My main Marantz Hifi amp is only 2 x 40W at 8ohms.

Also, what is the RMS rating of that system, peak power (PMPO) is a bollocks rating.

I use wireless headphones, all the noise, none of the arguments.

To me improving the quality of the sound is more about improving the quality of the speakers. A low wattage amp with good speakers is better that a high wattage amp with poor speakers.
