So it looks like my 2.1 Microlab system just gave in. Got home earlier and it started making a loud, humming sound. It was working fine last night. I honestly don't know what could have caused it to fail. Perhaps some rain came through the window and went into it? Anyway, so I need a replacement sound system but I need something that has a remote control for the volume. The current Microlab I have, only has a volume thingy attached to the speakers and sub, and so I have to keep getting up to adjust the volume. I need a remote so that I can just sit in one place and control it. Any suggestions? :(
 
Plenty sound systems in the shops such as HI-FI corp.

Why not go for 5.1?

...you electrical components are near a window...during winter...sigh

anyway...get a sound bar.
 
Something strange happened. I attempted to open the speaker. Couldn't. Well, kinda half managed it. Put it back together and it worked :wtf: Don't know what went wrong. Anyway, thanks for the replies. Will see how it goes. If it acts up again, I will need to get another system.

How much would a decent one cost? I don't wanna cough out a lot.

Not that high. Probably around R400 tops.

Yeah. Usually the windows are closed but today I decided to leave it open :(

Sounds bars - aren't they expensive?
 
Pawn shop, AV receiver plus a few speakers will beat any pc sound system.

My old NAD 3020i decided to drop one of it's stereo channels (bad caps, gonna rebuilt this gem at some stage) so now I'm using a NAD T751 + some Mission bipoles for my PC sound, awesome stuff :D

I think I am actually going to try this route. Any suggestions on brands etc? My budget has gone up, so please feel free to make suggestions up to R1.5K.
