Low-end computer speaker comparison
My apologies if I have selected the wrong forum for this question:
I need to add a pair of stereo speakers to my new dell computer. I returned the 5.1 100 watt system that shipped with my package, because I don't have the room for all the equipment, and I really won't use this computer for critical music listening. I am trying to decide between a Dell A215 speaker set or JBL Platinum Series (Altec) set. I have the JBL's on my old Compaq, and they are more than adequate for my purposes. Both sets of speakers seem to be available in abundance on ebay, etc. for under $20, delivered. So the question boils down to whether the Dell A215 or JBL pair have the better sound quality. I suspect that this group will have opinions aplenty, hopefully some will not be of the "avoid all computer speakers" genre. Thanks, Brian bdz000AThotmail.com |

Not what you asked for, but maybe useful... I just got Lansing VS-2121 speakers. Cost 40 bucks or so. Consists of two very slender desk top speakers and a sub that sits under the desk. Not exactly audiophile quality, but quite acceptable for everyday use, including occasional music and/or DVD sampling. -- Ron On 8 Mar 2005 09:01:06 -0800, wrote: My apologies if I have selected the wrong forum for this question: I need to add a pair of stereo speakers to my new dell computer.
