But that is jsut it right there. We are NOT professional audio engineer's. We are casual PC users. So using a set of Logitech speakers is jsut fine for our purpose.
Now if we were setting up a recording studio. I would fully agree with you. But as stated in the opening post:
So he does NOT need to spend that kind of money. He wont be using the speakers for gaming as he says he uses a headset. Defeats the purpose of a Studio style monitor or speaker system. It will be used for casual listening of music.
Please stop trying to force things onto users when they dont need it. Suggest what is best for the purpose that THEY want to use it for. Not what is best overall.
The logitech set will be more than sufficent, even if it does produce inaccurate bass. It is not gonna be used for a studio. Just a room for casual music listening.
I am not forcing anyone to do anything since i dont have that power, he asked for a recommendation and ericb suggested and i backed it up. Even for casual listening, the monitors are good. I am recommending the best value for the money, when it comes to sound quality. And i do believe i linked to a set that was adequately priced for his budget, he himself posted a more expensive set.
I dont see why so many guys here keep on insisting logitech over and over. Ive had some of those before, and they were alright untill i picked up some real speakers.....im simply trying to show the light of way. Its hard to explain really, you just have to do the test for yourself. The "THX" certification and watts rating doesnt really matter as much as people think, but some people dont understand that.
Studio monitors do not have to be used in studios only, they make everything simply sound better. If you had heard a set of monitors side-by-side compared to any pc speaker, then you would see what i mean. Whenever someone asks what speakers to get, i will continue to recommend monitors, as theres a set for every budget and they reproduce sound better, which is the final product right?
I like to hear music the way it was intended to be heard. If anyone prefers to listen to something thats over emphasized with muddy bass and harsh highs, then thats just fine.
To the op, you should go to Guitar Center if theres one near you, and have one of the pro audio guys give you a test drive of the monitors, so you know what they sound like before you buy them. The smaller the driver, the lower amount of bass the speaker produces. A good size driver for decent bass would be 5" or higher. Also, m-audio does make subwoofer monitors, which can be added later on if you feel that you need more low end.
