Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum and quite a audio newbie.
I am looking for new speakers for my new separate office space (10 m2 --> 2.6 by 4.1) in my garden to connect with my desktop (Motherboard: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1436312/msi-b450-tomahawk-max.html) and (work) laptop on a 140 cm desk with 2 27inch monitors . Occasionally I will stream audio from my mobile phone.
I will use the audio for Gaming, Music (Piano, classical, pop and dance/house) and often play from youtube and spotify, but willing to get better quality audio if I will hear the difference, since its not high end audio for this budget.
I used to have a Logitech Z-5500 Digital but I would like to upgrade in quality.
I am aiming to spend 400-600e (I could stretch if needed).
Currently I am thinking of buying the Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2. They look nice and are good enough for my space, requirements and not too big. The KEF LSX are an overkill I think.
I am a price/quality guy and see that other people advised combination like:
- Loxjie D30 + JBL 305 (or Neumann KH80 or Genelec 8020)
- Forte A5
What other options do you advice for me? Are the Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2 a lot 'worse' than the JBL 305 /Neumann KH80 / Genelec 8020? Are there speakers with a bit more design if I would go for studio speakers?
Furthermore I was wondering how I could best connect my desktop with the Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2 (or other) speakers since my pc doesn't have Bluetooth or SPDIF. Is 3.5 mm ok or do I need to buy a DAC or something else to generate a SPDIF signal? Ideally I also connect a separate mic with the DAC.
Thank you very much!
