I assume this is where you post on this website about computer speakers. I've been looking at buying some for a while, and I was wondering if anyone here can suggest some very good ones for around $100 or less? Are there any really good ones for that price?

There's good deal at outpost.com. They have the Polk R15 for $40/pair. I don't think there's anything that can beat it for that price.

Those are the best for that price? I know my friend got Cyber Acoustics CA3080 speakers or something close to that...which I believe sell for $35 or so. These Polk R15 speakers are much better, and better than other speakers at even higher prices under or around $100?

Well, if you're willing to buy used, you could probably get the Paradigm Atoms for around $120.

Outpost.com has Polk R15 speakers for $130, and Amazon.com has them $100. Are you sure you aren't thinking of other speakers?

Those are huge speakers. I'm looking for computer speakers.

Sorry about that. Didn't see "computer" in your post.

It's okay. Do you have any computer speakers you recommend, or know of a place or forums or anything that would tell me what some good ones are or I could ask there?

Logitech Z-2300?

unfortunately there are no good computer speakers, but the Creatives are not too horrible. I recommend them.

Why would you say "there are no good computer speakers"? I'm sure there are.

I bought them, and returned them. Sounds too hollow for me, like they delibrately added some hollow sound to the music to simlulate a 3D experience or wider soundstage.

What computer speakers would you recommend then, and do you know any other forum that knows a lot about computer speakers?

Go to hardforum.com for computer audio stuff... also, please dont make 3 of the same threads. It doesnt make sense and just annoys people.

No, there aren't. Anything you get at that price will have obvious, glaring sonic defficiencies.

Check yard sales, though - you can pick up a vintage receiver and reasonably good speakers on the cheap.
