Crushdepth Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I would like to upgrade my PC's sound system. I'm not an audiophile so I'm not after ultra-high end, but I'd like to something that is...you know, good. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 hi' I'm a bit like you for listening I use a good stereo, but on my com, I just changed for an audigy2 and bought some laptec 2/1 (cheap) and the sound is good enough for listening close to it when work francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have a set of Creative speakers and the sound is quite good for both music and games. Comes with two small desktop speakers and a sub-woofer and cost around 4500B. I was surprised how much output there was from the tiny desktop speakers and maintain quality. You can get Creative 6.1 speaker set for about 6000B, but too many speakers for me unless you want full surround sound and have a place to put them all.

For 35quid dare say it rivals what a component audio would blast out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tavarich Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I just bought the Bose sound system for my Ipod but it works great on the laptop to. Also I have to pack the stuff in a suitcase and it is compact with really good sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall stanley Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 On the back of your pc tower are stereo miniplugs for audio in/out. You can use your PC as an audio component same as you would a tape deck for example. I run twin audio leads in and out of my PC from my main stereo system using the tape monitor switch or any input would do so I get full sound from my PC through my stereo system. I also record onto my hard drive this way, putting cassette tape onto digital and make a CD from that and through away my old casettes (or records if you still have those) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo siam Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 The Creative / Cambridge Audio type cubes are quite good, almost identical to Bose Cube speakers. Its a little but more expensive but running a proper stereo amplifier from the PC works the best with some proper bookshelf speakers, Probably get a reasonable set-up this way for 12,000 Baht or so, and its very re-usable. Or if you have an old amplifier lying around, use that with a pair of proper speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Cost wise, go for the local Saag brand (and contribute to the Heng clan). Available from just about any shop in Pantip, Fortune, Seri, Tawanna, etc. What are you upgrading from curiously (as we do OEM as well)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florin Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I've got an Audigy + Logitech 4.1 system, had Creatives before, but Logi sounds quite bit meatier, and the subwoofer seems of higher quality. A lot of people online also seem to really like Logitech's lines of speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacebass Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 At 750 bht or a bit less the Saag 10R, active subwoofer plus two satelittes is amongst the best bargains of my life. Bought in Tuk com Pattaya. www.siamsaag.com However I would test the system in the store as the first set did not work out of the box for me.
