I have been getting more and more into hi-fi mostly on the headphone side of things. But now am looking to also upgrade my computer speaker setup. Currently I am running the z-2300 from an emu0404 USB. My budget is not too high, preferably around $200-$300, but could be convinced to raise that if the improvements are big. I have been reading around a bit and see that the A2's are pretty nice and active (?). How much of an improvement would the A2's be over the z-2300? I would consider the A5 but they are much larger and also more $$. I would like to keep the size small, like the A2's if possible.
My question is whether passive speakers are better than active speakers. And if yes, is it a very noticeable difference? I am wondering this because if passive speakers are an improvement, then there would also have to be more money put into buying receivers correct? Lots of questions but hope someone can help. Thanks!
