I've been using "normal" speakers on the PC my whole life, and would finally like to upgrade to something that will blow me away. My budget is only about $300, but that should be more than enough for my smallish/medium sized room.
After looking around a lot the highest recommended item in that price range I could find was the A5's, but I also see a couple people saying that getting unpowered speakers+an amp/receiver would be just as good and cheaper. This is where my problem comes in, unpowered speakers and amps are completely new territory for me.
So I'm basically just asking for recommendations on an unpowered combo that will beat the A5s while keeping the price lower. My sound card is the Xonar DX, if that matters somehow. I'd also like to get a subwoofer down the line, but right now I simply wouldn't be able to afford it. $300 on speakers alone is already way more than I wanted to spend for now
