Hi you beautiful audio connoisseurs! I'm a novice hoping to find the right PC speakers for my desk. I've read reviews and watched "Top 10" lists but they all conflict with each other and I suspect that some of them are basically paid advertisements, so I wanna ask the real enthusiasts.
I think I should go for a set of 2.0 speakers, because if I had a subwoofer then I'd have to fit it below my PC desk, and the last time I did that I could barely hear it with my head above the table. If I stepped back then it was audible but not while sitting in front of the PC, so it seems better to go with 2.0 stereo in my case.
It's to be used for a bit of everything: Gaming, small-time audio productions and mixes, and listening to all sorts of music, from rock & metal to dubstep to melodic trance with angelic vocals, and everything in between. Therefore, it needs to have a balanced sound profile. I take it that a balanced sound profile is not necessarily the same as a studio accurate one? Accuracy is great, but a good listening experience is what matters the most.
They need to be compact enough that I can fit them on my desk next to my screen. Something like 15 x 20 x 20 cm should be alright.
I'm fine with spending up to $500 on the system. Give me all your recommendations and I'll look into each of them.
Bonus points if you also recommend headphones with the same sound profile and price range, but speakers comes first.
