    Post Best 'bumpin' computer speakers

    I want some speakers for my computer that bump pretty good. Would you all say that Klipsch would be the best choice?

    I do not want to buy home audio speakers.

    Thanks

    Really the klipsch are the best? I don't really agree here. The Videologic sirocco crossfire beat it in 3dss's showdown. the crossfire sounds excellent and is by far one of the loudest systems out there. Louder than the klipsch's. Also for a little extra cash you can really get the best pc speakers ever made. The videologic digitheater dts is the ultimate. I love it altho I paid quite a lot for it. Definitely worth every penny.

    Dude, you brought this on yourself. Atleast say that you want to do stuff to the opening in the subwoofer or the hole of your 120 mm fan. BUT NOT the opening to the digital inputs!!!!!! eek: eek:

    It may beat the Klipsch's in overall sound, but unless i'm mistakem, the Klipsch's sub unit still provides the most voluminous bass out there, and that seems to be what he wants.

    Cool

    i got *HAD* the knipsch 5.1 promedia's untill i had to ship them to kjnipsch becasue they sounded crappy (they didn't ground it good). they sounded ok but when you turned them up it sounded fuzzy, that was becasue they where crappy gounded. also my sub wasn't as luad as it is to be becasue it wasn't grounded good and the 5.1 bumbed louder then my friends 250 watt 12" sub an he payed $300 for it. my new 5.1 promedia will be here soon sept 10. and they will rock they sounded good before but after it hit 50 in volume it started to sound crappy but all in all it sound damn good and it was f**ked up. i spent $418 with tax on them and i'm very happy. when my speaker come i'm going to bump like on one has for a speaker system for under $500. when i had them before i shipped them to klipsch my neboir came over once and asked me to lower my system when i told him it was my computer speaker he called me a lier (lol what a dork). all in all the knipsch 5.1 rule like no other and i don't care about waiting becaue if you want one now you need to get 2nd gen and you wont see any for a month of so unless you shipped bakc the 1st gen

    P.S. i assume there are a bunch of spelling errors
