Background info if you care:
I have been using a pair of Klipsch B-2 bookshelf speakers with a Topping amp/DAC, but moved those to the TV where I think they are better suited. They are a little too big for my desk and I felt like the sound was going past me a bit.
Main question:
What is going to give me a better listening experience at my desk, a pair of smallish bookshelf speakers (probably Swan D1010-IV) without stands or the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1?
Relevant details:
Smallish carpeted room, use is going to be gaming/music mix, varied taste, rock and acoustic leaning.
I'm aware of the fundamental differences between a 2.0 and 2.1. I don't need the bass but do appreciate it.
The reason I mentioned no stands is that I don't like them and this guy says the Swans need them.
Budget is $40-130, basically looking for cheapest that sounds decent.
I can get D10 or ProMedia for ~$100 shipped right now.
Other thoughts:
If there's anything out there that's a little cheaper without loosing much sound quality I'd be interested in that too.
