That all depends on how much you have to spend and what you call good.

I have a $50 Topping amp I bought on ebay and a diy DAC I built for around $30 playing through $700 speakers, sounds awesome to me.

If you want good sound, step away from computer speakers and hook your computer up to a decent sound rig. Doesn't have to be more than about 100 dollars and it will kick the ass of any set of PC speakers you put up against it.

But I kind of get the idea you just want it to be loud and have ****loads of bass.
Well then you can pretty much buy anything crappy.
The reason Altec is pretty good is because it's balanced

Do you want it to be loud or good?

If you want it to be loud: Buy a PA Amplifier and a set of PA speakers and you're off.

Hi S_K,

Hi Batty ;D.
Congrats with your 50th posting

Poppie: Battie may be right. Find yourself a nice big vintage amp and some old speakers with loads of units in them. Your neighbours will love you after that
