Basically I am looking for a good 2 Desktop Speaker Setup.
technically it would be considered a 3 piece, because I do want a Subwoofer as well.
I currently have a set of Altec Lansing 5.1 speakers, but there are 2 reasons I want to go 2 speaker set up for now, and use the 5.1's for down the road..
Reason # 1 - About to Use A KVm Switch
I just got a KVM switch that lets you also share speakers, only 2 desktop speakers though, as well as a Keyboard and Mouse among 2 computers, so I would like to do that.
Reason # 2 - Very Limited Space Right Now
I do not get to really enjoy the true surround sound right now anyway. The way it is setup right now, and there is no way around it thanks to limited space, is my speakers are all on my desktop, so I do not have the rear speakers behind me, cannot set it up this way because of limited space, so not only will I be able to use 2 desktop speakers with my KVM switch, but I will also clear some space on my desk to itself, space I could use for the KVM switch itself.
Criteria needed.
The only criteria I need is that the speakers connect to the comp using just one line.
This would make my life much easier, basically because the KVM switch only supports one line.
My budget is between $40-$80. Possibly a little more.
They do not need to be the best speakers in the world, just decent ones.
Headphone Jack.
When I game 50% of the time I am forced to wear headphones anyway since it is late at night and I live in an apartment complex, so a headphone jack easily located is definitely a good thing as well.
So I am looking for advice to see what other people like and or recommend out there.
Chances are I will order these speakers online, as that is where I will get the best price, so since I cannot hear them in person, I am looking to me fellow Neowin members for the advice.
My one comp has a plain Audigy 2, and my other comp uses onboard Soundstorm.
TIA,
