Which Speakers

I' love to listening to music, no matter where i am.  When i'm home i listen with my headphones, when i'm in the garage i blast my music, have a pair of Sony speakers i got from father-in laws shed, sounds good but i want better  . 

Which speakers do you guys use to listen to music? Any particular brand and why?

Personally I have not owned a pair of speakers in awhile, but I hear both Bose and Altec Lansing make great speakers.

Yes Bose make great speakers, which i use, i have a Bose Accustimass Surround sound system, makes it feel like you in the movies when i turn them on.  Was wondering if anyone has any cheaper options since it will be in the garage.

i have a Pair of Radio Shack 10 inch PA Speakers that can be used for home audio use but man can they crank when i blast them

I got a small pair of Sony speakers, from one of those set unit's, i kept the speakers because they sound great for such a small factor, i just picked up for a great price (of free) a set of Marantz sp103  these things sound awesome. 10"woofers, 4"midrange and 3"twitters connected together this set rocks the garage when i crank them, feel bad for my neighbors...  These are the one's i got, this is an image taken from ebay, to show the exact model i have.

i bet but i think my system kind of out beats yours as far as wattage goes for music power my speakers have a 160 Watt music power rating my amp is 1000 watts max music Power so ya if i crank mine the cop's might get called on me if i crank my system and my 220 watt sub that cam with my system really shakes the walls

Yeah , thanks but no thanks will keep my week system and annoy the neighbors instead of the cops  I honestly don't even need them, the little Sonys speakers i have do a great job alone, now these two monstrous size speakers the garage walls do kinda rumble, but i tend to keep the noise down to a certain level. . I have an old Sansui 5000x receiver, i use run them, they push only 55 watts per channel, which according to my wife is too dam loud, i also have a  Yamaha HTR-5830   As a backup, it  pushes 110 watts per channel. Like i stated before , i'm gonna create a sound studio in the garage, top record and play music and possibly broadcast from. (Still playing around with the idea.) I would need to create a room in the corner and insulate it enough for me to use it in the winter time. 8'x 12 would be the size.

The only speakers that I have at the moment are a pair of Logitceh computer speakers. They are small but have decent sound and I like them for this.

and the only time i crank my speakers is during the shows then again i don't want to get the cops called on me

Me neither i have great neighbors.

I am always using earbuds or headphones when I listen to music out of respect to my neighbors.

10 inch speakers that depends my radio shack speakers they take up about the full cabinet and i also have a horn Driver on mine as well so when you think about it it really all depends on how big the actual cabinet is for the speakers sometimes the woofers will look larger then the cabinet so it's all about the cabinet size for the speakers more then anything

LOL small compared to the ones, i use to have.  Aaron the bottom speaker is 10"across takes up almost the whole bottom of the unit,  Here is an actual image of my speaker:



Here is the speaker label on the front:

You know something is good when it has to be liquid cooled.

I bet those suckers are loud.

Damn those are some big speakers Blackscorpion. Not anywhere near as good as Bose speakers of course though.
