$25 won't even buy you an IMAX ticket and a bag of popcorn. I don't think it really matters what you pick at that price range.
I'm very depressed with this bad news.
Even other Forums have given me close to the same verdict although in a more
diplomatic manner.
Basically it's me alone siting in front of the computer with the 2 speakers facing me alone. Moderately loud for me but not loud enough to hear even in an adjoining or nearby room.
Believe me, I am trying my darndest to describe what it is I am looking for.
I don't own a dB meter which would probably help get my needs across :-(
Could one of you tell me what to look for ? Decibels or Watts? Like a trip to a place like Best-buy?
What if I raised my budget to $35 to $40? and made sure it was a
2 speaker system only?
P.S. About 6-7 years ago I had a system with 50 watts per speaker but it was driven by a Digital Receiver and I would rarely crank the volume past 25%. of course I can only guess that that output was around 12.5%-25% total somewhere between 6 and 12 Watts. And I recall it being VERY loud, could here it from the mailbox about 75 feet away from the front door. But as I said before I'm not looking for anything close to that loudness.
I am seriously trying to describe my needs and am at a loss as to how to describe me needs any more unless someone can help me with some dB/Watts scenarios?
thanks [p.s. I raised the budget to $35-$40
