So tonight I come home from Christmas Dinner - we'd had a blackout. My 6 year old Altec Lansing speakers evidently have blown, and thus, I need a new set.

I really don't want to spend more than $100 on speakers. I just want 2x good speakers and a sub, I want it to listen to music (I don't need 5.1 for games or any s*** like that, just a good sounding, loud set of speakers).

If I were wanting to buy new headphones, I would buy from www.headphones.com.au - You can buy MUCH better quality stuff there at a fraction of the price that WoW / Harvey Norman would charge - is there anything remotely similar in the way of purchasing speakers? I just want the best bang for my buck.

Anyone have any suggestions at all? I can stretch that $100 budget a little, but I'd like it as close as possible.

Cheers

don't even worry about getting 'decent' speakers for $100, your better off spending it on good headphones.

Sounds like you need to find the white van guys!

Yeah, I have headphones - I don't need headphones, I need speakers.

I've seen logitech 5.1 speakers in EB for like $75 - that's the s*** I want. I'll happily spend a bit over $100 if it's a significant increase in quality.

I don't need something that'll bring the house down, I just like to listen to reasonble volume music while browsing the net etc.

do your own research first you stupid lazy emo. go cry

then ask what people reckon

I remember EB having a $50 off deal on speakers.

140 Watt if i remember correctly , $150 down to $100. Pretty much at most EB stores, i saw them at Toombul on the northside and Indooroopily on the south/west.

This is EB though so its probably not the most ideal place to get them

Actually yeah those are they ones i was talking about Pharcyde, but i thought they were $100?

You wont get good speakers for $100 so you might as well give me the cash and I'll kick you in the nuts and we'll call it a day. But if it's just something to get you by until you get better ones then go for it.

8-)

DSE Stereo Amplifier and DSE bookshelf speakers.

OCAU Audiophiles love them, and they are pretty cheap, tho still not $100, but you will probably be alot more happier with them. checkout ocau forums, there is plenty of talk about them there, and DSE/powerhouse often have them on special especialy around this time of year.

my hercules 5.1 cost i think 150 bucks. awesome set, great for what i need in our study.

in our lounge, our LG 5.1 setup kicks serious ass :p

I can see you are going to be one awesome QGL poster
