I just installed a set of Logitech X-240 PC speaker system. Cost all of
$43 at Best Buy. I am impressed. For the money, this is a great sounding
set of PC speakers.

They definitely do a great job on 'Alabama'!

I have done without speakers for the last ten years. Never missed
them.

$43 computer speakers to listen to music on? I guess Walmart sells
them for $21.99.

No thanks.

I listen to Pandora and XM radio through the PC. So speakers are very
helpful.

I like to kick up Pandora with a set of Altec Lansing pc speakers that
came with a long ago desktop.

How could you not miss them if you never had them?

A lot of the You Tube stuff requires sound to be effective.

If you are ever in the market for a pair of high quality speakers for a
desktop or laptop, take a look at the Bose Companion II.

http://www.bose.com/controller?event...ltimedia_index

For under $100, they sound pretty good, and they look good, too...they
look like miniature bookshelf speakers, and aren't to "plastic-y."

I've never liked Logitech speakers, although lots of people do. Here's
what PC Mag had to say about the X-240s:

"Sometimes even the best companies falter. Logitech, with its new X-240
2.1 speaker system, is a perfect example of this. Although the $50
speakers certainly deliver decent sound quality considering their modest
price, they have some seriously annoying flaws. First, the cables are
hard-wired to the subwoofer, making it difficult to keep them out of
sight. The worst offense, though, is a hum that is pretty noticeable at
moderate volumes when the speakers are connected to a PC. The end result
is a surprisingly ungraceful product from a company known for
streamlined design and excellent sound."

I have always thought PC Mag was a great resource for unbiased reviews

No thanks? I don't think John was trying to sell them to you. Oh, I
get it, you were just trying to be a condescending ass as usual. Oh,
and my Altec Lansing 5.1 surround sound speakers (four channels plus
woofer) sounds damned near perfect and cost me a whopping $100.
