I really do not want to spend more then $250 for a decent set that will produce great clarity for mids and highs and with a bit of bass.. but looking for a very crisp sound.. Any recommendations?

Creative : Definately not.

Audioengine : The P5 is a passive speaker. You'll need an amp.

The Audioengine A2 is in your budget, they will suit well.

Others to brands to consider:

Swan (few very nice models, may be in your budget)
Aktimate (the lower end ones)
Harman Kardon (Soundsticks)
Microlab (SOLO 6C)

Hey mate thanks for the reply, i am looking at the microlab solo 6C they seem quite good actually, Any personal opinion on them? Where are they sold for in australia?

[Benno1988]

Sorry, no personal experience with them. Purely based of this guys comments and thoughts:

3rd post down. They honestly seem like a good cheap set of quality speakers. I think it helps that the brand isn't widely known yet.

Worth a look if thats your budget, thats for sure.

I've got some solo 6s that I was thinking of selling, if you want them PM me and I'll let you know if I want to sell em

got mine for just under 2k and that is slightly just under that lol.. had a business partner in the states and he picked them up for me so worked out well..

I just need something that is decent sounding for the PC nothing over the top just for a small office in the house..

I was actually looking at those corsair ones the other week those swan ones seem good but i am not a fan of the wood grain style though i may consider it hehe..

As for my specs, I was tempted and contemplating the X series CPU and after many reviews and much reading i couldn't comprehend the extra money for a small increase in performance specially when i will possibly upgrade down the track. Yeah u cannot go wrong with the intel SSD's i had a OCZ Agility 3 first off the bat and wasnt that crash hot then i got the intels and wow big difference! I am yet to post up some pics of my build i am actually looking at doing some more sleeving as i just did the 24pin but fuck it was a nightmare! lol

I am wondering if these PSU sleeved cables will actually work with a seasonic XP-1000w Platnium PSU or will they only work on the corsairs? http://www.corsair.com/en/power-supp...les-white.html

May I ask what you'll use them for primarily? If you want cheap and very accurate sound reproduction with incredible clarity, I'd recommend "Equator D5". These are around $299 for the pair, but the quality of a set of speakers well over $1000.

Will mostly be used for music some gaming, but still want something that has great high's and mids with a crisp sound. Will look at those ones.
