Hello!
I am building a new high end PC. I found out exactly the parts I need, expect one: good sound.
I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 598 and Fiio E17. They are OK. Not outstanding, not bad either, but I have nothing to compare them with.
I was thinking of spending about 3k usd to buy HD 800 + good AMP + good DAC. This will probably give me near perfect headphone sound.
On the other hand, with this much money i can buy very good speakers. Maybe not as good as HD 800 but speakers are a different animal.
But there is one thing: I need to have the speakers on my PC, they can be big (about 8 inch is OK) but not terribly big.
PC speakers are cheap as chips and crap (they either sound just "OK" or are limited to 70 watt). I need something like Audio Engine A5+ but for about 1k usd. Budget is very flexible. More if they are outstanding. Less if they are close to the quality of more pricey. Sadly I can't test before I buy. I know it's like buying a car you never tried but I really have no way to try those things in my country... :/
So, I am looking for active, 2.0 speakers with 150 Watt power. I'll use them for music mainly (cd quality) and a few movies (blu ray quality). No gaming. Can you please recommend me something?
Thank you!
