I feel the same way about my Klipsch computer speakers. I saw them for sale at Best Buy the other day and they looked exactly the same. I've had mine for at least 7 or 8 years and still sound great.

Ah!

The other day I was trying to remember the brand of computer speakers that I had from the 90's that were so, so, so solid. Great sound (for computer speakers), and extremely robust. Dropped off the desk all the time and never had a problem.

Now to eBay to see if I can't find them.

My parents are still (about four computers later?) using the Gateway speakers that came with our 386 system. Built like a brick, internal amp, sound decent enough.

Gateway used to ship some pretty righteous hardware. The computer my parents bought back in the early 90's, for example, came with this keyboard:

The good ol' days :) My home desktop is using a Boston Accoustics 2.1 (BA790) that I bought in 1996 as an "open box" item from Best Buy, and they still sound great. I even had a family member buy me a 6.1 (Logitech) system over 10 years ago as a Christmas gift and it's still sitting in the box. I feel a little guilty about not using it, but I really like the sound of my old BAs. At least I know I have a spare system if I need one.

Whoa! I had these, and used them religiously, between 1998 and late 2015 (when I moved).

Never realized they had a cult following. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken them to the electronics recycling center... :-/

That's cool you had them as well. I was blown away when I discovered their cult following.

Ah, I used to have a MIX boombox made by them. Still works, but had to leave it behind when I moved. Best set of speakers I've ever had as well.
