I'm looking to replace my 30-year old PC speakers. I just need basic, nothing fancy. I know of Logitech and Creative brand, at the low end. Are there other brands that have come along in the last 30 years?
Why do you want to replace them?
I've been smelling "burnt plastics" for long long time. Main suspect was LED bulbs that weren't rated for "enclosed fixture", even though most fixtures are open. I think it's just the quality of plastics. Anyways, I replaced them with ones specifically rated for "enclosed fixture" (Home Depot's Ecosmart brand). Smell is gone a lot. But, there is still faint smell. I've found out that PC speakers is drawing around 200mA even if the volume dial is set to OFF. It's warm'ish, but can't smell directly though. So, I'm thinking to replace it.
