define decent... bring down the house or don't bother the neighbors?

nothing bring down the house, just something that has nice surround sound for watching movies playing video games,

oh.. about all you're going to find for multiple channels is crappy computer speakers.. I take it you don't have an amp either

is max volume attainable (without distortion) considered the primary benchmark for speakers?Dave wrote:define decent... bring down the house or don't bother the neighbors?
i would have thought sound quality (even at lower volumes) is more important.

I bought a cheap $50 pair of 4.1 speakers with a little hesitation, and thought the sound/volume was fine for playing movies, games, etc. I'm glad I didn't pay more because it fit my needs perfectly.

only in car audio subwoofer specs does SPL mean much.[xeno]Julios wrote:

Well I've used the Viewsonic speakers in the office and my sister uses them in her dorm. Click. They have quite clear audio with a fairly nice base, both versions I have used are the 2.0s not the 2.1s. They are really nice for dorm rooms because they are small, not terribly expensive and good value.
