Looking for good audio on a very low budget?

[superczar]

I was looking for a 2.1 speaker set to gift to a friend within a 2K budget

I had almost decied on a Creative SBS till I decided to rely on Kamal's judgement (Delta Peripherals)

He recommended a Zebronics SW8000 which claims to be is a 30 +15 + 15 W RMS setup...to cut a long story short, i picked it up and headed back home

Before passing it on to my friend, I decided to try it out once and was more than pleasantly surprised

This sub 2K speaker could actually create a soundstage and the bass response was very tight and controlled (read as no boom) :O

For a sub 2K setup, it sounds better than several other much more expensive PC speakers I have heard

The SPLs are fairly limited and the volume does not go very high, but then even at the highest possible volume it can go to (which is more than enough for a PC speaker) it doesn't clip or distort at all :O

If you are on a tight budget and looking for a decent pair of speakers, this one fits the bill quite aptly

PS: They look quite ugly though :tongue:

czar, 2k gets you an inspire right ?

hope the controls in them last

 

[superczar]

indeed Gmano..those are the ones

2K would have got me a basic inspire but these seem to be better than the inspires

anyway, i passed on the speakers to him today

Yes this league [Zebronics, isound, Edifier, Artis etc] of spkrs do sound great in the start but if u are using it at med level vol or else they degrade in sound quality also the volume etc.. knobs go bad very soon.. I have heard Edifier 5.1 spks costs around 7.5k, it has a huge display [Spectrum anlyzer and other stuff] and its rated at 200w RMS and they will shake you b*** at 75% volume.. Also there's a iSound [iBall] booster 5.1 even they are cheap and VFM............

Hope the above set last long in Sound Quality..........

IBall Booster for around 3.5k 120w RMS
