Would Like Recommendations on Surround Sound Speakers for a Small Room

celiotte on 16/09/2016 - 18:50

Hi,

My speakers (Logitech Z623) have recently broken and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on good speakers with my preferences..

  • Budget around 200~
  • Good surround sound feel/Good sound
  • I don't require huge bass or incredible loud music because its a small room and neighbours would complain :)
  • Used for slight gaming and mostly youtube/netflix
  • Will be attached to a laptop !

With my previous speakers, I found the huge amp and bass to be useless for me simply because I never felt comfortable turning it up :(

Thank you guys so much !

    I was in a similar situation to you 2 months ago.

    I recommend a soundbar///i Purchased one from aldi,w ihc came with a subwoofer, for $229. Best investment. Has bluetooth, aux, and nfc

      Are soundbars good to run with computers? Does it connect directly to the laptop? I've seen it mostly with TVs and operate wirelessly.

        My particular soundbar (Aldi Brauhn brand), has AUX cable, plus can be connected via bluetooth.

        Both options wokr flawlessly. :)

        Though, I personally connect my laptop to my TV via HDMI first (just the way I use it).

        Hope it helps

    I would suggest Creative Gigaworks GWT40-SII T40 Series II 2.0 Speakers. A great value for money (Y)

      What are the benefits of those particular speakers? Would just two speakers be enough to get some sort of 'surround sound' experience?

        According to your requirement, yes!!!

          Bit afraid to purchase something fairly expensive without warranty ;( Do you recommend that particular ebay store or was it just a link you happened to stumble across? Either way, thank you and I'm definitely considering these ones !

    I also used to have Z623. If you just get a pair of speakers without a subwoofer you'll miss the oomph of the logitechs. I have a Denon RCDM39 with Monitor Audio Bronze speakers for my study/office and miss the lows of a subwoofer.

      But the problem was I never had the bass turned up or the sound turned really high either because I didn't want to disturb my neighbours (apartment block so neighbours literally means beyond the wall) so I never got the most out of the Z623 ;(
