The speakers on the TV in my classroom are gonna blow soon.

The TV is connected to the classroom computer. How should I go about getting some speaker replacement for my classroom?

I don't think computer speakers will be able to handle the volume and heavy use. Should I get a boombox and hook the sound up to that? Or would a good set of computer speakers do the job?

Just get a good set of computer speakers. I got some from homeplus for about 15k and they work great. Maybe it's because I know not to max out my speakers so they would last longer.

Get a set of computer stereo speakers. The kind that come with a little mini sub. That should be plenty. Logitech makes a great set but they're probably around 120,000 won. A Korean brand is probably 80,000. I have a set back home and I miss them a lot.

The thing I worry about with computer speakers is that the sound is very narrow. If you are directly in front of the speakers, you are fine. But if you are sitting to the side of them, the sound is off. Ideally, I'd like to put the speakers in each corner of the classroom, facing the center. However, speakers usually don't allow for 5 meters of cabling between the left and right speaker.

why don't you get your co-teacher to do something about it?
