If you are a sound connoisseur and you also have room to spare, then you are probably looking for a good quality 5.1 sound system that provides you with the quality and intensity of audio that headphones or stereo speakers cannot provide. To do this, in this article you will find the best 5.1 speaker systems for PC , although it is true that most are also compatible with TV and other audio systems.
Logitech Z906 5.1
This is surely one of the most popular 5.1 speaker systems in the gaming industry, basically because of the renowned Logitech brand behind them. The manufacturer advertises that they have 1,000 watts of power, but that is their peak power and the reality is that it has 500 watts of RMS power in total, 50 watts per speaker and a gigantic 250 watt subwoofer of power.
The system is certified for Dolby Digital, DTS and THX surround sound, so we will be sure that we will always have the best possible surround sound system for PC. In addition, everything is controlled from a comfortable control console, although it also has a small remote control. In addition, this 5.1 speaker system allows connection via analog or digital connector, through S / PDIF, so we will not have to walk with a handful of cables to connect to the PC.
Canton Movie 95
The advertiser says that this 5.1 speaker system has 620 watts of power, but as often happens that is peak power and the RMS is quite lower. It has a 200-watt subwoofer that, be careful, is active and not passive, so it will deliver a level of bass that will make all the shelves rumble. Each of its five speakers provides 22 more watts of power, so its total RMS power is 310 watts between the six elements that make it up.
In this case, it does not have a central control console, but it does have controls to modify the gain and bass level in the subwoofer itself, at the rear. In addition, a plus is that it incorporates anchors to install the speakers on the wall or even the ceiling if you want.
Bose Acoustimass 10 Series V
The famous (and overpriced) brand Bose also has a set of 5.1 “home theater” speakers. In total, this system provides 200 watts of RMS power, with 100 watts corresponding to its passive subwoofer and the other 100 watts distributed among the five satellites, 20 watts each.
Genius SW-HF
The PC peripheral brand Genius has never stood out for being the best quality, but with this 5.1 speaker system things change starting with its construction materials, since they have used wood for the soundboards. In this case the system has 125 W of RMS power in total, with 50 watts for the subwoofer and 15 watts for each of the satellites.
Onkyo SKS-HT588
We finish this list with this 5.1 speaker system from the Onkyo brand. They have “only” 130 watts of RMS power of which 80 watts comes from their subwoofer, which in this case is active, so each of the five satellites have 10 watts of RMS power. This sound system has the peculiarity that it is compatible with Dolby Atmos, so combined with a compatible stereo, TV or PC and properly placed in the room, they will provide us with incredible surround sound.
