Bruceleeon Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 While PC system manufacturers have routinely included speakers as part of the package, the quality and reliability of the provided audio units has been spotty at best. Those who desire a more robust, fulfilling sound and those of us in the DIY sector feel the need to upgrade those components. Your choice of acoustical accessory will depend on your needs, your space restrictions, and your wallet. The audiophile among us may opt for the full blown 7.1, studio quality Klipsch or even the ever popular 5.1 surround sound from a variety of vendors. Others, like me, are bound by our particular work arrangements to no more than the 2.1 arena. For the uninitiated, the designation of 2.1, 5.1, 7.1 etc. describes the number of speakers and their respective types. The first number corresponds to the number of satellite, i.e. smaller, speakers in the setup. The number after the period refers to the woofer or bass unit. This is the largest of the speakers and provides that resounding thump that rattles your teeth and awakens the neighbors from their slumber.

Bruceleeon Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Im guessing they used particle board with the wood looking laminate over it... righT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[COD]Big_Balls Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Yes that is what it looks like to me along with laminate corner pieces as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Yes, it's laminate. Had they used actual wood, it would be much heavier, more expensive, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMO LeBeau Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Got a set thru NewEgg - the Logitech 2.1 do sound fine - but bass is boomy. Great deal for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
