  Can anyone comment as to whether you could use these as speakers for your TV in an average size living room?

    Given the spec's below and my own experience with a set of X-230s I'd say there's enough audio output for "normal" TV/movie watching,,, unless you're wanting to rattle the windows and drive the neighbours crazy, in which case you need to look more around the $400+ mark.

    They are designed as computer speakers so they have head phone plugs for connectors. I bought a set with the intention of using them in my lounge room but I never got around to buying the 3 the headphone to av plug adapters I needed to hook it up.

    I still can't believe these speakers haven't changed in price, they were $100 when I bought them 2 years ago.

  I read off whirlpool, that the x-530 has popping issues. Anyone bought these care to post your experience?

    Mine pop quite badly when I'm using the washing machine, its bad enough that I will turn them off before I use it. But my washing machine also messes with my powered tv antenna so it could just be the washing machine.

  BANANA69 on 13/06/2009 - 16:14

  yeah the popping issues occur when a light switch is turn on/off . However , this does not affect the quality of the speakers

  cheers

  good price for X-530

  che0173 on 14/06/2009 - 00:07

  yea the grunt does occur when my family members turn light switches on/off,

  quite funny though, it's easy to find out whether someone is playing with the switches even if they're downstairs hahas

  I've only ever noticed the speakers popping once or twice, after 2 years of use. Probably depends on what else you have attached to the circuit. No problems with lights.

  I had these in a small —> medium sized lounge room, and they put out plenty of sound!
