I got a hold a pair of vintage large bookshelf speakers.

Kenwood S-233.

It says 8ohm and max 90watts. Since it's a pair I assume 2.0? Left/Right only.

But here's the part where I feel so noob about.... what's the cheapest way to connect to my pc and power em? Don't think I want to pick up a receiver as that is out of my budget.

Sifu Sifu,
I need help on advice and suggestion on the sound system.

Requirement
- 2.1 system (since i'm staying in small size apartment, i dont think i'm able to get 5.1 as i also hate to see dragging the cable from the surround speaker to amplie)
- Multiple input (as i will be connecting astro, computer, PS3)
- I will be using this speaker for multipurpose (Movie, Music, Gaming)
- I want wireless remote control

Budget 1 - 2k (its okay if the price slightly higher than my budget)

I have been checking on several speaker
- Aego, Bose Companion (No multiple input)
- Logitech Z906 (hmmm not really need 5.1, is it possible to convert the surround speaker to function as front speaker)

I do found out few model when i search over the net
Sony 3.1 Channel 3D Sound Bar Home Theatre System
http://www.sony.com.my/product/ht-ct150

Found out this type of speaker fulfill my requirement, but i do not know about the sound quality wise.

Any other advice or suggestion ?

Thanks.

Can anyone recommend me a speaker below Rm800 ?
recently in my list are Harmon Kardon Soundstick III and Altec Lansing MX6021. but someone recommend me edifier s530D and corsair sp2500 too.
my friend own a Harmon Kardon. It really nice for both high treble and bass performance, but i saw a lot online review that it is not that good in its price. i wish to have a speaker that is good quality in high treble

I would always suggest people to choose C3 even though the bass isn't that bumpy for techno.

S330D is good but you gotta bear with the harsh plastic like trebles. icon_rolleyes.gif

Looking for a 2.1 system for my 50"plasma for movies and music.

Budget RM1k. Strictly not PC speakers as they do not have enough power to drive sound over a 10feet+ viewing distance

How much is the Audio Engine A3/5 roughly? And cheapest around?
