Need to buy 2.1 Speaker, Any Suggetions?

[shreeux]

Under 15k, the best i have heard are

1. Harman Kardon soundsticks (music strong point)
2. Logitech Z623 (great for movies and games, decent for music)

The ones I heard great deal but not in person

3. Swans (there are many models but priced well)
4. Edifier studio models (not available in india)

Just a note that Z623 is THX certified. Also eventhough they sound great, build has some problems. My room mate is still using them (5 yrs now) without issue but you can see reviews where others mentioned they had issues.

Cheers

I like to buy 2.0 and 2.1 for TV & PC.,
In my list..
Swan D1080
Logitech Z623..time being..

I think not available in India...Any one for below 15k?

If I got D1080, I will use in PC output its enough or i will add any additional Sound Card or DAC?

If yes kindly refer any.,

It's available in India, and priced @ 14K.
Seller is in Mumbai.

Personally, i prefer Mackie CR4 above Swans. Because Swans sound is colored where as Mackie's is so neutral and clear

Contact details of Mackie:

FAX: +91 22 6643 9900

Personal suggestion IMHO:
Speakers from Logitec, Harman, JBL, Bose are not worth of money. "They are ULLU Banaying"

Go for the Swan M10-2.1... some are selling at ebay, with discount coupons should get it at Rs. 6.5 - 6.8 K range

Any external DAC is better than inbuilt dacs of Mobile/PC.
Cheapest solution is Chromecast Audio You can play over wifi.

The Retail price from the Official distributor "Proaudiohome" is 7.2K.
So better to buy from official distributor.

What about Amazon or Flipkart?

No issue, indirectly you are buying from the official distributors on Amazon/Flipkart.

There are total 2 distributors of Swans in India, Proaudiohome & Hifinage.

Yes, either you can play thru Wynk or local mobile storage else from NAS or a Toslink input from TV

 

[zoiks_guy]

+ 1 for Logitech z623. IMO, nothing beats them at this price point in India.

I think this not suitable for me.

I am not sure I understand your question, PC obviously has an audio out, you use the cable supplied with the speakers to connect to the audio out. Any additional cables can also be purchased easily. There is nothing to it, is there something I am missing?

 

[Maxprocrj]

Find a Z2300 logitech if you are a lucky enough..

Other options are Jbl,Creative,Bose companion 5 & 20 check them out...

He wants an external DAC to be used.

The best cheapest solution IMHO is Schiit Modi 2 (Uber)

I am using Intel DP45SG motherboard, now currently discontinued, No more driver updates.
My doubt is PC output ok or Enhance the Output to add on Soundcard (Internal+External)
