My old logitech's are starting to fail; they issue a weird thub-thub-warble sound when turned on, even if the PC's on mute. So I'm going to be needing to replace them.
I'm kind of wondering about using non-PC specific speakers since these days I don't game as much as I used to, and use the PC a lot for music and movies. But I'm not really sure how to go about doing that, what it cost, or how much space I'm looking at. I'd like something with decent sound quality, and I don't much like headphones or earbuds (I find them uncomfortable). If I get a soundcard, is it possible to hook that up to a self-powered sub and a set of small bookcase speakers or something? would that sound any better than using another set of mid range (50-100 dollar) PC speakers?
