Why do all higher end computer speakers now have massively-high quality subwoofers and massively low-quality normal speakers? Why is the trend to ignore treble and focus 100% on bass?

Asked by Kraigmo (9055points) May 22nd, 2011

I used to have a pair of Boston BA 265 computer speakers that had excellent sound. After more than a decade, they’ve broken. When I went to Best Buy, Walmart, and Office Depot… I noticed that there are no more high quality computer speakers pairs being sold. If you want high quality, you are forced to buy a set of triple-speakers that includes a giant subwoofer and two crappy tiny regular (treble) speakers.

It’s as if the whole world suddenly decided that treble doesn’t matter and everything depends on bass.

Where can i get a good pair of computer speakers… a pair of them where no stupid subwoofer is required?

I want high quality sound, and the price range should be $25 to $85. Like my old Boston BA 265 speakers… which no longer exist.

And preferably a pair where the 2nd speaker is manually detachable from the 1st speaker… allowing for realistic placement.
