Morning guys!
Recently I've been considering scrapping my PC's 5.1 speakers. Whilst great for games and movies, I just don't use the 5.1 that much as I have a Q acoustics/Onkyo setup in my living room. I use my PC for listening to music more than anything so I was considering a nice pair of desktop speakers for about £300 and the Audioengine A5+ caught my attention. I have a medium sized room but my PC is in the corner so I think I'll need to bring it out a little so they're not too close to the wall. Does anyone have any experience with these speakers? I have a Creative soundblaster Zx so I'm not sure I'll need a DAC (Though I have set aside about £100 for one if necessary). Also, will I require stands at all? Unfortunately I don't drive so going somewhere for a demo could be out of the question, however a friend has the standard A5's and I thoroughly enjoyed their sound (No DAC, straight from his onboard sound on his PC). Any help is greatly appreciated!
