Best Speakers for FLAC, Computer Speakers to appreciate FLAC Options

[Jp4ragon]

Hey everyone,

I have been wanting to appreciate the quality of FLAC files over mp3 while listening to them on my PC and have been looking into getting a new sound system. My wife surprised me for Christmas and got me a Logitech z-5500, but after doing some research, I am under the impression that this is not a good system for being able to appreciate FLAC (lack of clarity on z5500, made for gaming, etc). Is this true?

If so and if I return the logitech, my budget is between 300-600 dollars and i'm looking for a good recommendation on speakers I can hook up to my PC to listen to FLAC; 2.1 is preferred because the room I have isn't best for surround sound. Anyone have any good recommendations? I'd really appreciate any input here.

"Doing some research" on audio equipment on the internet without having good guidelines will only empty your pockets faster, not make your equipment necessarily better. Start with the Terms of Service here, especially #8. You will notice that most people who claim FLAC is so much better than mp3 (especially if they claim "with good enough equipment") can't abide by that, and that should tell you something.
