Hey everyone, so I just celebrated my 16th birthday yesterday and I want to get a pair of speakers for movies with the money I got.
My budget is about 350$(I live in Israel so price may differ but this is the amount of money I would like to spend translated into dollars) and I want to use the speakers for movies, which are going to be played through my xtreamer but I would also like to use them for playing games through a Playstation 3.
5.1 systems are not really possible sadly because my room isn't big enough for that kind of setup so a 2.0 or a 2.1 system would be the best.

Thanks in advance, Justlog.

Okay that was just alot of stuff that I didn't understand
If I can get an explanation on what's bookies and what is a T-amp that will be splendid.

Okay then, which speakers should I look for in the used section(inside my country of course) and which sub should I look for?

To be honest i am not sure what brands are available there in Israel so best you snoop around in online marketplaces where u at and see what's on sale ^^ Reviews on these stuff could be useful but try a short audition before settling any any stuff

How will a pair of Morel SP-1 will do?
Edit: BTW I have a pretty good deal on a pair of audioengine A2, thing is I don't know if they will suffice in power(I have a pretty small room but still).

 

[Justlog]

Anyone got a reply for my last comment?

Morel SP-1 " these seem really thin and i fear they have nil low end? Also how good a deal are u getting for the A2s? For PC/Nearfield audio u dun need a power house but given a choice i'd pick bigger speakers for a 2.0 starter set ^^

Well, I'll try to jump to a local store in the upcoming few days and see what they have to offer.
Edit: forgot to ask you, I can get a pair of Microlab Solo 6C or 7C, will they suffice as a 2.0 speakers?(I'll probably buy a sub to add to them)

Don't want to be an arse XD
But it seems that I have to comment twice so you reply?
