I kinda want a new sound system for my computer. At the moment I am using a crappy $90 surround sound system from walmart and I just have the 5 speakers scattered around the desk. The thing I like about it is that I can get it loud and it has a lot of punch with the bass, something most computer speakers don't. The feed for the system is a stereo output and I have no desire for real surround sound since all I use it for is music playback. These are some ideas I had for a way of going about it:
Method 1: New stereo system
This in my mind is probably the most ideal method, although it would cost more. Basically this system would be a sound system from scratch and would comprise of an audio receiver, two medium sized bookshelf speakers, and a sub woofer. With this I could get volume I am accustomed to in a more condensed form and get higher quality.
Method 2: New surround system.
This method is basically what I did now, get a low range surround sound system and stack the speakers together, for this it would be nice if the speakers were cube shaped and stackable. It can be a bit cheaper than the previous method but not as desirable.
Method 3: Computer Speakers
This method is one I am weary of, but there might be something nice out there. Computer speakers that are large enough to give me a loud volume and a sub with punch. The JBL's I used before my current setup were a great quality, but couldn't fill my room like I like.
So what do you think would be the best way for me to go and not cost too much.
