So i use an old computer tower instead of a traditional "entertainment" center for TV/movies and such. I've been using some old logitec 2.1 speakers and a medium grade sound card for a while and i've been mostly pleased with it. I find the sound signature of the logitec decent, but i was wanting to upgrade my setup.
I'll be using a USB DAC and bypassing the onboard sound card, i just need to choose speakers. The use of these speakers is mostly movies, but i also blast music every now and then and when i have parties, it is the main source of music. I thought about stepping up to real home theatre speakers but i don't want to dish out the extra for a receiver/source and whatnot. It seems like an additional level of complexity that isn't really necessary.
In doing some online research, i've found a couple options
Emotiva Airmotiv 6s
Audioengine A2+
Audioengine A5+ (maybe with sub addon)
Elac B6 Debut
HarmonKardon Sound sticks III
Any feedback on the above choices?
