Could someone help figure out a setup?
Hopefully it's okay to ask for help here
I'm very new to computer audio, but since I work on my computer 11 hours a day minimum, I'd like a system finally. Definitely looking for some deep, loud bass, but not looking to go insane with it. I'm thinking maybe $650 max for everything, but I'm also not sure where to begin, simply because many of the higher end speakers I'm finding don't plug directly into my computer (hence why I am reaching out).
If anything, I'd go with some speakers first and get a sub later with a different savings amount, so if I really HAVE TO go above $650, then I guess I'll have to.
What information would be needed from me to help determine what would be best?

In response to ' information ' the post ( set-up ) revolves around ' Speakers ' . Active and Passive are two general categories for Speakers. If you do not have an amplifier to drive ( power ) a set of loudspeakers then Active is the category to look into for ideas. Genelec is a highly regarded manufacturer for Sound Production Gear. Model 8320A is a two way monitor in the price range specified @ $625. 8331A would represent a considerable step-up in terms of performance and not necessarily a price point. Placing a Speaker on a stand rather than on a desk surface would be an important distinction for a higher level of performance. www.Genelec.com Audio Engine products also would be worth looking into for selection. |
For budget speakers - M-Audio and PreSonus are good brands. Edifier also makes some fairly decent speakers at reasonable prices. As you like bass, some of these have a bass/treble knob on the back. Look for one with AUX (3.5mm) in/out or RCA (if you’re hooking them up to an internal/external soundcard. Since your budget is limited, powered speakers might be a better option for you. Passive speakers would require an amplifier to drive them. If the speakers sit on a desk, I would advise getting some isolation pads for them to rest on. |
The Genelec are always excellent desktop speakers or you could look at JBL. There are desktop stands and pads available as well. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LSR308mk2pr--jbl-308p-mkii-8-inch-powered-studio-monitors-pa... |
