Ok, I came across a local forum site and it was brought up about the best 2.0 or 2.1 midrange speaker setup.
It was suggested there to use Swans M50W and this is the first time I've heard about it but it seriously got my attention when I started doing some further research about it.
Now, I am thinking of ditching my Logitech Z-5500 for a set of Swans M50W. I know it's not of the same playing field but somehow I would say that my "taste" probably have changed (or matured should I say) over the years and I no longer really have the need for a 5.1 PC setup.
Some reasons that I considered:
- 5.1 has lots of wires and speakers and my living room is getting crowded
- My new place now is rather small and I couldn't even go past 4 for the volume since I am afraid my neighbors will knock and demand an eviction...
- I now wanted cleaner, purer sounding system rather than pure SPL power and booming bass... I could say I am still a little bit of a bass head so I probably consider myself somewhere in between a purist and a bass head.
So... my golden question is, will this be a logical move or it's just a waste of time, effort, and money?
