I recently built a new Windows 7 PC for gaming and at the time I puchased an affordable Altec lansing 2.1 computer speaker system that was okay for the price. It did the job.
One day while shopping at Best Buy I just happened to stroll over to the computer speakers display tucked away in a corner of the store and proceded to check out the different systems available. I was first impressed by the BOSE system being sold. However, after clicking on the button to hear the Klipsch speakers I was BLOWN AWAY at how superior they are over the much overpriced BOSE system. In comparison, these Klipsch are an absolute bargain, if you were considering the BOSE.
I can not speak highly enough about these Klipsch speakers. Who needs surround sound when these things output such clear highs and low bass that you'll be astonished that anything could sound this good. I couldn't wait to get these speakers home and connected to my computer. LIstening to music, playing video games or watching a movie is now a completely different experience. Save up the money in a few weeks if the price is too high for your budget but, once you do, you will not be disappointed.
I do not have experience with Klipsch speakers so, I just hope they last as long as my trusted Yamaha speakers have. The Klipsch are simply two steps above anything else out there in the computer speakers category. Buy them! You'll be happy you did.
What's great about it: Out Freaking Standing sound quality!
