Another one from the email bag today:
I've been searching for a great sounding speaker system for
computer use (Pc & MacBook Pro in the near future). I mainly want it for
music, it will also be used for movies & games since I have a 40"
connected to my pc. I've heard a bunch of systems, but nothing stands out of
the crowd (I like to hear all sounds in a track as recorded). I ended
up deciding on the (Axiom Audio Audiobytes and EPZero Subwoofer) till I read
your review of them. What is your choice since I do listen to Trance & Hip
Hop and do a little mixing? I noticed you like the Klipsch 2.1. Is that your
favorite choice? I don't mind spending around $500 if the system is well worth
it.
My preferred PC speakers are the
Klipsch ProMedia 5.1, which Klipsch discontinued way back in 2003. I have
tested several systems since then, including the Axiom AudiBytes and Logitech’s
Z5500 5.1 THX system, and I still prefer the old Klipsch. The Klipsch ProMedia
2.1 system looks similar to the 5.1 in photos, but it is not even close in terms of
specifications. The speakers have different frequency response ranges,
different maximum output levels, and different materials. The 2.1 subwoofer is
much smaller and has a completely different configuration. As soon as I find a
speaker system that beats the Klipsch I’ll write about them – and probably ask
to buy the review samples – but thus far I haven’t.
