    I've had my Sager NP8660 for a while and I'm now looking for some pretty good portable laptop speakers. Anyone know where I can pick some up?

    Thanks

    Often times true but I would have a very hard time convincing myself that logitech makes a superior audio product for that price range especially of that size. Thats more of semipro territory prices.

    I have the V20's from them and they were like $80 when they came out and they are like pure crap.

    For portable I would get good headphones, for at home I use my home theater system but Klipsch makes good speakers for home use.

    Also I like 1/8" headphone into bluetooth adapters. Send out the signal over bluetooth to a RCA output module so you can hook it up to any amplified source near by.

    Expensive for what it is, $100 is not just pocket change for everybody.

    Agreed. Portable wise nothing beats a decent pair of headphones. At home start investing in a proper separates hi-fi, its a must and quite frankly if you like music, films and gaming an eventuality..

    LOL vidurm! I actually do have a nice set of headphones...Sennheisers...but currently I am in a dorm room and if people want to come watch a movie on the notebook headphones don't really do the trick. That $25 looks like quite the deal...

    Any good recommendation for 2.0

    I don't want a sub.

    Reason is my speakers on one of my VAIO just die and I use that one for most of my work / school on it.
