Ignorant statements like this occur so often that I'll just copy and paste this from five days ago:

" it doesn't make much sense to get to caught up in wattage when talking about different speakers. You've got to consider the sensitivity of the speakers and how they respond to power. A speaker rated 90dB sensitivity will produce that ear damaging 90dB at 1 meter off a single watt. A lot of the best speakers and amplifiers in the world might only be running 10W, but they are sensitive speakers with massive old school class A amps. A speaker with +3dB sensitivity would make twice as much sound energy off the same wattage, and at +10dB sensitivity the speaker would sound twice as loud.

All of that is to say that wattage specs don't matter as much as most people think, and certainly it's not a good way to compare speakers without a lot more information."

Thanks. They're for a 9 y/o playing minecraft and roblox, so I don't need some 2.1 or 5.1 THX. Grabbed them. Thanks OP. Repped +

It's very easy to run them with a sub.

If you are using them with a computer, then you would just use the subwoofer output on the motherboard or soundcard.

If you are using it off speaker cable, then you'd just get a subwoofer with speaker level inputs.

If you are using them off RCA's, then you just get a y-splitter and send one feed to the sub.

I'd pay at most $60 (edit: I guess that's the regular price) for something like this, so this is still a good deal, but that's definitely the max.

No subwoofer out along with way past their time clip bindings (these should be banned in this day in age).

I currently have the Logitech Z130 and was looking at the creative pebble v3 speakers. How do these compare to this monoprice one? Using just generally for meetings/video calls, some music here and there, and occasional FPS games where footsteps are sorta important.
For FPS I'd go with headphones

Thank you!!!, planning to get Monoprice DT-4BT for $80 (it was $75 during earlier sale, but I don't want to wait for that to drop)

I own tower speakers that have 3" tweeters, this is simply not true.

I have very similar Edifier speakers. The compact size is essential. Bring these into your office to play music at work.

Congrats. Something tells me you are measuring the cone of the tweeter and not the tweeter itself or have some kind of diy mid-range auto tweeter installed. No speaker manufacturer who has a clue what they are doing would add a mid range tweeter in tower speakers. The entire point of bookshelf or floor standing speakers is to add the space for dedicated woofers capable of creating sounds that a tweeter is not designed for. It would be pointless to have a 3" mid range tweeter when you have dedicated woofers that do the job better. In no universe is 3" the, "usual size of tweeters on a tower speakers" like the other person commented.

I own pair of Jensen CS315. These floor speakers are 220 watts peak and 80 continuous. both speakers contain a 15" subwoofer, 5"mid range speaker, and a 3" ferrofluid filled dynamic cone tweeter.

mass production floor speakers made by a reputable company in the 90's.

Never mind what this boomer says about 1990s speakers. These look like pretty decent desktop speakers for the price, and Monoprice has a good reputation on low-end speakers. They're likely far better than most computer speakers at the price, and might even be decent for a TV.

These look an awful lot like the Presonus Eris 3.5, anyone know if they are the same build with different badging?
my presonus speakers stopped working, yes they look like a copy except they cost a $100 also had extra bass connection and connection for guitar plus base and treble so a lot of stuff missing. i dont know if i really care as long as they sound half descent.
