Cheap Used Cars Sale

Q.whats best computer speaker system (audiophile opinion) Creative Itrigue L3800 or Logitech Z-2300 ? I purchased the Creative Itrigue 3800's to replace the Logitech Z-2300 however i am going to have to return the creative units to Creative Labs (sound out one speaker, molded shape paired connectors two white to single speaker or two red -- maybe a defect ?) so when i get my replacement Intrigue L3800's i'd like to know which would be better from an audiophile stand point for someone that only listens to music and watch dvd's

A.You've bought into a silly notion. "Computer speakers" are a convenience, when you want some sort of speaker to connect to your computer, but the soundcard doesn't have enough power to properly drive the speakers. You choose them when you want something compact, and don't care about sound. They aren't labeled "computer speakers" because you need special speakers for your computer, but because you generally wouldn't want to use them for something else. At the low end, you have the equivalent of a transistor radio, ie a speaker in a plastic box with no further concern. You see horrid configurations, because "computer speakers" are by definition cheap, so two puny speakers that couldn't handle bass frequencies get set up with a "subwoofer' that in itself can barely handly bass frequencies and likely can't handle the low frequencies where a subwoofer actually comes into play. (To explain it, real subwoofers are for handling very low frequencies, that good speakers generally wouldn't handle. The interesting thing is at the frequencies where they kick in, there is no directionality (or something like that) so stereo would mean nothing. Hence one speaker can handle the very low frequencies from both channels of a stereo system.) Maybe when you start paying good money for "computer speakers" you actually get something decent, but at that point one has to wonder why you'd want to stick with "computer speakers". You get an actual amplifier, and you get real speakers. There's your "computer speakers". You get things that will actually reproduce the sound properly. It takes up a little more space, but you get a lot more flexibility, being able to pick the amplifier separately from the speakers, just like any stereo system you'd use to play your CDs or records. You can even cheat. Buy some good speakers, and then buy a used amplifier. Or buy used speakers too. My first "computer speakers" were a pair of metal cased car speakers I got at a garage sale for five dollars, and a Delco digitally tuned radio (I paid about $7 at another garage sale for it) running off a 12v supply. I had to modify the radio to provide for input jacks for the soundcard output. But I got a reasonable sound system, certainly better than if I'd spent the money on "computer speakers" and even if I'd spent more money on those "computer speakers". I'm not using the same system, it's morphed through various speakers and amplifiers as I found them at garage sales. I kept changing mainly because I could get something different cheap. A few months ago, I found a digitally tuned stereo receiver for ten dollars, and put that in, its switching capabilities made things simpler for me. If I don't want to listen to the computer, I have the radio, or the cassette deck, or the turntable. It's just a stereo system with one of set of inputs coming from the computer. SOme people can live with a boombox (or can't afford something more and don't realize they can buy used and get far better). That's what "computer speakers" are for. Other people want full blown systems, and they get them. That you are using a computer for a sound soruce shouldn't change that one bit. Indeed, since you are really using the computer as a CD and DVD player, if you weren't using the computer, would you go for a boombox or want a full stereo system?
