Computer Speakers on a Budget?

Posted by Cliff on from the getting-the-early-jump-on-holiday-shopping dept.

Angela asks: "In the spirit (and utter terror) of the upcoming holiday season, I would like to ask the opinion of the Slashdot community on speaker technology. The dilemma is this: I would like to purchase computer speakers for my audiophile husband for Christmas, but I am clueless when it comes to this particular field. I am also on a budget ($200USD or less?). What computers speakers would you suggest and why?"

  1. Audiophile? by Night0wl · · Score: 2, Funny

    Are you sure he's not a pretend-audiophile? In a true audiophile world 200$ will get you a down payment on the reciever/amp.
    If he isn't really an audiophile, I have to agree with the suggestion of the Logitech's. They're pretty decent speakers for what they're worth.
    Perhaps if he is an audiophile and he doesn't have one yet, you could consider a player for the new DVD format based audio discs. I wouldn't be surprised if you could aquire that in the price limit, then again I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't.

      If he is /really/ an audiophile...

      Take the $200, and invest it. 10 years from now when it has multiplied 10 fold in value, you will then have enough for the 20% deposit to put some /real/ audiophile equipment on layaway. :-)

    ... how neat would it be to be married to someone that reads tech forums...

    My point exactly. This guy is married to someone who actually posts to /.. Does he actually need anything else for Christmas?!
