[01:20] <FXpro> hi.
[01:21] <Glorfindel> hello
[01:21] <FXpro> I was just looking at affordable external laptop speakers, usb powered or wall powered or both.  any ideas on that?
[01:21] <FXpro> so far I found a couple of interesting options.
[01:23] <Glorfindel> I can't really get overly specific as I don't really follow that stuff much, but logitec makes great peripherals
[01:23] <FXpro> for super cheap but still good sound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R9AAJA/ref=psdc_172471_t2_B01KKT25U8
[01:24] <FXpro> these seem neat for the money https://www.amazon.com/Klip-Speakers-Drivers-Connector-Computer/dp/B01KKT25U8/ref=pd_day0_hl_147_19?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01KKT25U8&pd_rd_r=7d399a43-e2f2-11e8-8349-9126162516c7&pd_rd_w=x3pxF&pd_rd_wg=hSpQf&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=Y08JP6035J9W2CS0H9VX&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=Y08JP6035J9W2CS0H9VX#cus

[01:25] <FXpro> crap.
[01:25] <FXpro> hmmm
[01:25] <Glorfindel> you can delete everything from the ? and back
[01:25] <FXpro> just a sec
[01:26] <Glorfindel> actually, delete the /ref= and back. e.i https://www.amazon.com/Klip-Speakers-Drivers-Connector-Computer/dp/B01KKT25U8/
[01:26] <Glorfindel> *i.e
[01:27] <FXpro> ok this is annoying.
[01:28] <FXpro> 15 for these GOgroove SonaVERSE GS3 USB Powered Computer Speakers with 3.5mm Wired AUX Input, 60mm Bass Radiators, in-Line Volume Dial, Interchangeable Color Grills (Red, Green, Blue) for PC, Desktops, Laptops
[01:29] <FXpro> then there was Creative Pebble 2.0 USB-Powered Desktop Speakers Far-Field Drivers Passive Radiators PCs Laptops
[01:53] <OvenWerks> FXpro: with speakers you do get what you pay for.
[01:53] <OvenWerks> never buy speakers unless yu can hear them first.
[01:54] <FXpro> ahhh, sounds like good advise.
[01:54] <OvenWerks> In general spend your whole speaker budget on the speakers and get an amplifier from the thrift store for $30
[01:55] <OvenWerks> when you say good sound, what do you mean?
[01:55] <OvenWerks>  something you can mixdown on? or something to listen to game audio on?
[01:57] <OvenWerks> I would suggest something with at least 6in bass drivers... but you are not going to power those from USB power.
[01:58] <OvenWerks> Normally, a reasonable audio amplifier will use +/- 40volts or so, not 2.5 v +/-
[01:59] <OvenWerks> For a listening level that needs 5 watts of power, the transients will run 50 to 100 watts
[23:17] <sakrecoer> wildly tamed... it depends on who gets to say i suppose. relatively speaking, maybe i missed you Eickmeyer :)
[23:18] <sakrecoer> one thing is for sure: as i tame 18.10 i am wildly impressed
