Entropy. Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hullo, I'm looking for some help selecting parts for a desk audio setup. I have a budget of $800 USD (Soft limit) to $1100 (Hard limit). I don't particularly care if the speakers are powered or not, but It would save some hassle. I'm looking for at least a 2.1 setup, and am Impartial to surround sound- Whatever you think will be the best expereince, I'll go with. The budget is for all needed components, including speaker stands, amps/dacs or ac receivers, ect. For the color scheme, I'd prefer something like what klipsch does- Copper and black, but I don't particularly care about the color, as long as the colors are mostly neutral (Black, grey, white, ect.) Here's a draft of what I'm thinking for some possible setups: 2.1 -Klipsch The fives powered speakers (pair) ($800)/Audioengine A5+ (~$500) -Klipsch Sub-100, or similar sub ($200-$300), May go with more expensive sub? -Cables: (>$50) 4.1: -Klipsch RM-41(P)M (2 pairs [Costco has the M's on sale for $89.99/pair, and I can pick up PM's for as low as $250/pair, but I think I'll need a receiver, so I'll probably go m's) ($180-$500) (Alt option: Two RM41m's, two towers) -Klipsch Sub-100, or similar sub ($200-$300) -5.1/2 or 7.1/2 receiver ($300-$500) -Stands: ($100) (maybe less, I need two if I wanted to go true surround with two in the back, but I could also just have a front radius) -Cables (~$50) 5.1: -Klipsch RM-41M ($180) -Klipsch 250c or related center channel ($150-$250) -Klipsch Sub-100, or similar sub ($200-$300) -5.1/2 or 7.1/2 receiver ($300-$500) -Stands: ($100 or so) -Cables:(~$75) Thoughts? Recommendations? If you need any more information, please ask for what you need, I'll get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm not following very well. A desk(top) system has to be smaller. Yet, you mentioned towers. What do you want to do with it? Do you want to watch movies? Stream movies/music? Computer audio? A 3.1 system would yield the biggest bang for the least space and cost. You even could add rear speakers later.
