Speakers are a nearly necessary peripheral for your computer, but lots of users for various reasons spend quite a fair bit of money on such systems. We have found that either users buy a fairly cheap pair of speakers (or similar 2.1 system) or they splash out a decent amount of money and buy a full surround 5.1 system. We do as such wonder if there is a market for the more expensive 2.1 speaker systems. When most users think of speakers, we expect they will think of Logitech, or at the very least Creative. Certainly, Antec will be a surprise to most.

Article Snippet: Antecs Soundscience has made an impressive launch into the PC speaker market with the Rockus 3d 2.1 system. Not only can a buyer expect to hear sparkling high frequencies, clear midrange and tight bass response, the 3D sound adds a level of immersion to games and movies that other 2.1 systems cannot reproduce.

We all know Antec for making great PC cases and power supplies. We all know someone with an Antec case and that just shows the quality o f their products. Antec knows a lot about making cases and power supplies , but when I heard they were going to making speakers a was a little bit skeptical. We have seen so many companies just use an OEM to get into ano ther market, and what comes out is a very poor product. Luckily Antec is not one of those companies, they introduce you to Soundscience an Antec s ubsidiary that is set to produce audio and video lifestyle products. Thei r first product is the Rockus 3D 2.1 Speaker System and we have them up o n the testing block today.
