Jammin' to the Hendrix/Mozart sound

Saving nickels and dimes sometimes pays off. Been putting aside a little here and there since this past November and made a purchase this past weekend. Had a get $10.00 off card at the OfficeMax and knew they had only one set of Logitech Z640 Speakers on the shelf. This was the only set in town and taking a chance they would remain shelved another week or two didn't seem feasible. An 8", yes eight inch, subwoofer, 5.1 technology, wall mountable, and the controls built into the center channel speaker for $79.95 SRP!! This is literally a lotta' bang for the buck. It's boogie woogie, rock n roll time at the beach house computer room! Unreal 2003 is a different game! Fraggin' in surround is awesome.

Visited with friends and fellow geeks Michelle and David the other night and heard another good set of speakers that are priced right. Creative Inspire 5.1 are nice speakers. Creative Labs, famous for their sound cards, has put together some speaker systems in various flavors. These were purchased at 'Wally World' for about the same money. They are attached to a PC that is being used as a media machine that will be intergrated into an awesome home theater system (THX no less!). Since the computer is in a different room David wanted good sound everywhere. Nice choice.

When it comes to PC speakers ole' Ashby Rhett Culpepper III has one of the ultimate combinations. Klipsch makes really awesome stuff. This is a really neat site and if you are even leaning towards being an audiophile spend some time here and look around. Transition is a bit slow, but the content is awesome. Look under Products/Multimedia/ProMedia to see their award winning speakers for computer systems. Granted, you won't find them at the local Wal-Mart for around 80 bucks, but these are the best I've ever heard. Ashby has an Alienware machine that sports an Audigy Platinum sound card and that doesn't hurt things either.

Always good to shop around. Having heard the Z640s before I had more or less made up my mind, but I did listen to a lot of different speaker sets. This was fun because of my love of things tech and music. Great addition to the 'booth of cyber'. It's nice to have everything connected to the home theater system too. Might suprise you at the inexpensive cost of doing that. More on that later.

[Added later: Ashby Rhett Culpepper III called and informed me that Sam's Club now sells Logitech speakers. I had just shopped them this past weekend. Bound for me to spend money and find the purchased item cheaper somewhere, LOL.]

It's early n I need another hour of ugly sleep. Have a casual day.
