Radio Shack Optimus Lineaum speakers. EBay is your friend.
Best Desktop Speakers under $500
Will be used mostly for listening to music/podcasts while I work. I will not be getting a sub right now since I'm in an apartment so that is something to keep in mind.
I enjoy nice aesthetics so if they look nice or come in a color other than black, that is a plus for me.

My Audioengine 2 desktop speakers started showing their age (many years now) with an irritating buzz coming from the left speaker that's getting worse with time so I, too, have been looking for a nice replacement. Glad this thread came up. Just now, I came upon this video from YouTube, recommended from all the research I've been doing. Looks like you can get a nice assortment to choose from apart from the Audioengine and Kanto lines that seem to be so popular of late. It's hard for me to decide. All the best, Nonoise |
Love my gorgeous powered Audioengine 2+ in red gloss finish with included stands. Those on the desk, paired with cheap subwoofer on the floor, all under $500 not counting the high-end cables that came free from the Currently Disused Cable Drawer. You feel the fresh breeze in your face when the 3" woofers kick in. (That said, I did no comparisons before buying. When now-or-never discount offer hits your inbox, you just buy and don't look sideways). |
The Kef Q150's that Jon_5912 suggested would be nice in a smaller room. The coaxial tweeter is great in close quarters. They are not powered speakers, if it matters.
