Computer Speaker Help (M-Audio AV40, Altec Lansing MX 6021, Audioengine)

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I am looking for computer speakers for around 200 dollars and under. Lower wold be better so a price around 150 would be perfect. I will be using these mainly for music. I do watch movies and play games, but rarely. I listen to hip hop, jazz, and r&b, and pop. I really like speakers with good imagine, goes pretty loud (not the most important), good, but not distorting bass, good balance, a speaker that lets you hear highs and lows or ones where you can hear the instrument clearly. I know this is a lot to ask for but what is the best speaker in the price range that would give me the most of these. 

Some recommendations I have found are:

M-Audio AV40- have heard many good reviews, very little cons so far

Altec Lansing MX 6021- heard pretty good reviews but more cons than the AV40

Audioengine 2- heard good and bad reviews, heard the audioengine 5 were good, but a bit too pricey

 

I was wondering if anyone could help me with these speakers, give me pros and or cons or any other recommendations for around that price.

I've read some good things about the AV40s, so that might not be a bad choice indeed.  I've only spent a little time with the AV30s, those are okay, I think.

I've read Swans are real good, too, so you may want to read up on some that are within your budget, used or new.

If you can find the AudioEngine A5's used, then it should be around the $200 mark. I got mine used for $200. Best $200 I ever spent.

 

The A5's can go pretty loud. The bass is very good as it is a larger driver.

 

However, depending on your tastes, you may need a sub added to it.

I added a sub to my setup as the bass wasn't filling enough for me.
