Speakers for minimal cost

Bob Sagget New member Username: Roby1227 Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08	Posted on Monday, February 04, 2008 - 21:59 GMT I was looking for the cheapest set of loud speakers I can find to provide background music for poolparties and possibly other get togethers like this. Sound quality is not all that important. I was looking at some Gemini GSM-3200 speakers to do the job. I know their quality is probably poor but I can not seem to find anything comparable in size for the price. Any suggestions?

Do you have a local Guitar Center or another similar store in your area? That's where I'd start.

Bob Sagget New member Username: Roby1227 Post Number: 2 Registered: Feb-08	Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 18:01 GMT The Geminis are Dual 15 3 way speakers... They are passive speakers, but I do not need the flexibility of active speakers. I can get a pair of these for about $460 I can not find any speakers comparable for the size and price. And for speed and Decibels it seems to usually follow a similar rule: There is no replacement for displacement. The only reason I ask the question about the Geminis is I don't want to buy them and have them making clapping noises or whistling because the box was not engineered right or the drivers are poorly vented.

How many pool parties have been ruined by ppl commenting on the SQ of the set? How many parties do you host in a year? 15s will probably disturb some neighbors. Have any lol? Invite them then.
