I believe I can get the z5500 speakers for 200 dollars off dell.com, just wanted to know if anyone has anything else that is more bang for my buck than those. Its 5.1 and what i really need out of that is the optical audio input.
Jan- was that a negative on the speakers? I heard them and they sounded pretty nice to me. Nothing fantastic, but on a 200 dollar budget I thought it was a pretty good deal
Nick- yes, that is what I am referring to. Good or bad?
If you like them, I wouldn't spend a of of time on $200 speakers. Particularly if you have a specific requirement these speakers fill.
That may be a lot of money for you right now - I don't know - but for that price whatever you buy is going to have some sort of major compromise in sound quality. You can spend time listening to other stuff or you can just buy these and be listening to music.
Well I agree with you, they aren't too great. They don't exactly hit...well any highs at all...but I don't really know what to expect for 250 bucks (thats what I can get them for now)
Do you have any suggestions. I want 5.1 for the surround sound and it needs to be able to hook up to the optical audio. For around 200-250 do you know of anything that will actually hit highs and sound like somewhat good quality?
