Corsair SP2200

Zitat: Pro: + Quite loud + Good imaging + Wide soundstage Cons: - Not meant for music - Lacklustre subwoofer - Headphone out suffers from crosstalk

Zitat: + Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis + Platzsparnde Abmessungen - Hochtonschwäche

Zitat: Overall, the SP2200 speaker system is capable enough for the £70 asking price – the mid-range might be lacking in punch and clarity (especially when dealing with complex sounds) but this is a necessary compromise, considering the price.

Zitat: Recommended Pros: + Very listenable sound + Audio level belies 46W RMS rating Cons: - No builtin EQ modes Changing gears and moving over to gaming, which is how Corsair actually markets them, and the crispness and clarity remain good. The throbbing engine notes from F1 2010 are conveyed well and the melee of sounds from StarCraft II can be picked apart. A number of manufacturers opt for a 5.1 set of speakers at this £80 price point, trying to give you more bang for your buck, but Corsair remains committed, for the time being, in providing three speakers, with an ostensible bias towards quality over quantity. Spoilt as we were with the relative excellence of the precise sound of the SP2500, Corsair´s entry-level SP2200 2.1 speakers have many of their bigger brother´s attributes at a lower price. £80 is still a lot to pay for just three speakers, granted, but if you want high-quality audio and have a decent soundcard or digital audio player as an input, the Corsair SP2200 absolutely deserve to be on a shortlist.

Zitat: and Conclusion: Overall, I really liked the SP2200 system. It was definitely designed for gamers, though. What I mean by that is that for the price bracket Corsair had to make choices. Would they rather have larger satellites to instead make a better Mid to High range or would they rather have a powered sub with the system to give Gamers that boom they want when they are playing the latest and greatest first person shooter? In this case, they chose to go with the sub and then cut back on the satellites. Do not get me wrong, though; these speakers sound great and they offer a very nice range. Overall, I wouldn´t hesitate to recommend them. Though with the effort Corsair is putting into their sound department, I would love to see them develop a system that is for us who really enjoy our music and movies. A smaller subwoofer with bookshelf speakers would make me very happy. When all is said and done, though, Corsair brought a solid speaker system to the market with great features and only one true flaw in the cable design. With a price tag of $84.99 shipped it costs more than the $30-$50 speaker systems that have saturated the market, but you get much more power and better sound. Legit Bottom Line : The Corsair SP2200 system is probably the best value system to get for most people looking at accurate sound reproduction with a powerful bass setup.
