Title: Speakers for amiga?
Post by: runequester on April 02, 2010, 09:22:13 PM

Other than a hi-fi, what do people recommend for speakers ?

I have a 1084S monitor, but it doesnt seem to provide any sound, so I imagine the speakers are bunk.

Are you sure it's the 1084S and not your Miggy?

Have you checked?

Find a PC shop and get some no frills brand speakers for around $30, the more watts the better. Don't bother with the overpriced (and tinny sounding) Logitech or Creative speakers.
Also pick up the RCA Stereo to 3.5mm Stereo cable.

Good point but I don't have any easy way of checking at the moment unfortunately given the lack of speakers.

I still think a plain stereo amplifier + speakers would be the best option. I have yet to see any pc speakers that are worth the price and sounds as good as even a cheapish stereo system.

Do you have a modulator you can hook up to your TV?

What Miggy you got?

If you weren't so far away I could have lent you a modulator to test it out.

I guess any cheap speakers would serve for testing process.
