Suggest a good 2.1 channel speaker.

Well my budget is around 2000-2500/- so any suggestion.

Got one in mind, Creative Inspire 2500. What's its current market price?

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836135003 sorry i live in us but hey i believe you can buy it from newgg online... these are the speakers i currently have and they are easy to set up and they are loud! and got the subwoofer.

Personally I would recommend Altec Lansing... they r better then Creative...

You can buy creative SBS 2.1 370. Or you can try Altec Lansing ATP3 (around Rs.2800).

I recently bought the creative inspire 2500 speaker system and I think its horrible..

I love creative products.. I have their nomad zen xtra 40gb and it works great.

They work fine but the volume control is really flimsy.. you can't really change the volume in small incements.. its just goes from the lowest to the highest volume with just a touch.. which I personally do not like. The build quality of the entire system is flimsy and feels like its made of very low quality.

In my opinion you should buy these speakers:
*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836116147

They are also from creative but they work great. I had them for over a year but sadly had to leave them behind when I moved away for college. The control is great and all the parts feel sturdy and strong unlike the 2500 system that I have now. I would have bought this system if I could find it in the area that I live in (Mangalore). The volume control is nice and sturdy too.

So if you can try and find the system above..

Let me know where you got them too and price..

thanks!

@digitized
thanks but ur recomendation exceeds my budget.

@roccstar2
I had INSPIRE 2500 in mind after reading review online but ur experience has really confused me as it was in my budget. I know the T3000 are really good (read in reviews) but if u get its price inform me and if I get any details I'll get back to u.

I know that at this budget there are not much choice but see if u people could help me out.

just stretch your budget and you can be owner of Logitech X-230 or Altec Lancing ATP3

What about Creative SBS 2.1 370? Have you enquired about the price? You can also try Logitech X-230 2.1 speaker.

Looking into all ur suggestion, will get back soon. Free for more advice and THANKS.

I dont think newegg will ship products for international delivery.....Infact I doubt they even support International Billing. Amazon.com supprots international billing but I dont know abt the delivery.

i have intex's 2000 watt speakers they are great they are of 1500/- only

Intex products are worst specially speakers. Never go for them

And I totally agree, never compare Creative/Altec Lansing to ... what!!!??? Intex...

Secondly, sound of speakers is not all about PMPO rating, it is mostly the RMS power that counts.

Mostly not! only RMS counts

But beware of fake RMS ratings. Many of them give RMS ratings of 50-60 when infact they are more like 20Watts...

I have had bad experience with INTEX and MERCURY, so a big no for them.
What about SBS 370 that digitized suggested? Actually was not able to find any review online for this speaker so if u guyz coud help.
And could someone pls confirm to what roccstar2 suggested about INSPIRE 2500, as most of the reviews online say that it is really good.

R

logitech X-230 or Altec Lansing ATP3

Inspire 2500 will be better than SBS 370, thought as I suggested earlier, try for X-230 or ATP3

G

I M using Logitech-X -230 & so far they are really good, although i can't use it at full volume, due to home restrictions, but in gaming or anything else they rok

A

sbs 370 r good.
i have sold 3 pieces and niether got ne compliant about the quality nor had to take service center.

in ne case do not for
INTEX
MERCURY
i-BALL
Kasper

BTW I have connected my Sony HIFI system to my PC. The sound is much much better than sbs370. No need of special woofer.

GX......how much did u buy it for?

Altec Lansing ATP3 is for around Rs.3000.

A

X-230 shines in movies and games, and has a slightly better bass response. However ATP3 has a better mid-range.
I would recommend the logitech

Thanks but what's the price for the logitech one? In maybe two days time I would be buying the speakers so just wanted to be fully prepaired before searching the shops.

Thank you people for the help. I have finally bought the ALTEC ATP3. Haven't had the time to use it but will positively test it on monday. Thanks again.

@ john
U didi smart thing by buying ALTEC ATP3 its cool

First of all congratulations on your buying of ATP3.
But above all, there is Philips PC400 with 50W of RMS!!
I wont say more about its quality. You have to listen it to believe it.
More than you could have also look out for Philips cloumns with 1500-2000W PMPO ratings (100W RMS). They can be connected to your system through the RCA to stereo converter.

Anyways ATP3 is worth your money!!

Enjoy!

Thanks.

if u ask me then i will advise u to go for creative instead of altec lancing.because they are better than altec lancing when u go for higher beats....

WHt ?/
I guess ur Lamington Rd is too short..
please tell me when u visited it..
I had visited it 4 days ago..
n was getting whole series of inspire..
though in few shops it was not there but there were about 3 - 4shops were i enquired n they were having themm
Any ways if they dont hav ..
this trick holds good giv them abt 100 rs ..
for advance ..
Tell them to get it bu also take a proof or their shop card signe dor stamped by them saying tht 100 rs were given in advance..
u phone them witin 2 days n u will get a it..
Atleast it works with me always..
Ahead is ur choie

J

Yeah..i asked at Real time..Pc guide and afew regular stores where i buy from everytime..i guess i missed a few shops..neways..glad to hear its available now..cud u pm me the shops name where the shole series was available?

Also..any other option within 2K for 2.1..??

I think the Creative Inspire 2500 is one the best at this price range.
But anyhow the ALTEC ATP3 is incredible and if u could increase ur budget go for it.
See if u want a good system (I can guess as u want to buy CREATIVE rather than any cheap 2.1) then wait for a while, save more money and buy the ALTEC one (just my thoughts) rest ur decision.
Anyhow congrats in advance for ur speakers.

J

i can expand my budget...if u think the ALTEC ATP3 is really worth it..think it was for 2.9K...have to ask my dad tho...do i really need so much power for my pc...

Yes altec lansing atp3 is worth every penny. I would advice that u listen to both the system before deciding. I did the same and opted for altec.

Remember one point that what seems good to me, may sound average to u. So first listen then buy. Simply trust ur ears while buying a speaker.

My experience and all of the recomendation for altec in this thread suggest that altec is best.

By the way also look for LOGITECH X-230 . Haven't listen to it so can't say much. Don't know it's price.
