Good place online to buy speakers

[Richie]

head phone jack speakers, also I'm looking to buy something to save my dvds onto but something that can hook up to my tv (my tv doesn't have a usb port) so I can watch the dvds off the hard drive if that makes sense.

Not sure of a place to buy good speakers, just find reputable makes for sale anywhere then read reviews.

Some decent manufactures you could look into:
- Harmon/Kardon
- Bose
- Altec Lansing
- Cambridge Soundworks (branch of Creative I believe)
- Logitech - some are pretty good, make sure you read reviews first.

Generally avoid things like:
- Computer manufacturers' branded speakers (eg. Advent, unless they are sub-branded with another decent make).
- Obscure Japanese/Chinese brands (more likely to be of poor quality).
- Unbranded speakers from ebay.

Speaker configurations:
- [speakers].[subwoofers]
- 2.0 = 2 speakers, no subwoofer.
- 2.1 = 2 speakers, 1 subwoofer.
- 4.1 = 4 speakers, 1 subwoofer.
- 5.1 = 5 speakers (usually 4 satellites, 1 centre), 1 subwoofer

Therefore I recommend you buy either a 4.1,5.1 or even 7.1 setup.

Also remember you can run pretty much any self-powered speakers through a 3.5mm jack using the right adapter (eg. 3.5mm to RCA).

DABs, Argos or Currys have a decent range of speakers online. I'm using some Logitech speakers, £5 from a carboot. I've got two speakers, and a base. The best speakers I've ever had!

If you want cheap speakers (i.e. £100 and less), but online, if you're looking for a more expensive set, go into various shops and ask for demos.

I personally have logitech x-530 5.1's. £50 from currys, really good speakers and well worth the price, great for gaming and watching DVD's.
I'm not sure about hooking up a storage device for movies though if your TV doesn't have a usb port.
