Bookshelf Speaker for Desktop Use Under £300

[Rollo]

Morning,

I've decided to sell my Eris E5 studio monitors and iOne interface that I have been using on my desktop for a while. They were fine at the time but need something more musical as i'm doing a bit more listening at my desk. I have a Topping desktop amp/dac combo 40wpc that i'm now going to use and need to get some speakers. My top 3 are Wharfedale 12.1, Q 3020i and the Debut B5.2. Does anyone have any of these that could give me there opinion? And is there any glaring stars under the 250-300 price point i'm missing.

Cheers & Best Regards

I don't think you will find any glaring stars that will be more able than those you list. The simple reason for this is hifi speakers, generally, are simply not designed for this nearfield arrangement.

Thanks for your opinion.

The babies of the Spektor range turn out to be sparkling performers.

Dali are very good speakers for the price.
I've been very pleased with my Zensors. Believe the Spektors are even smaller.

This is interesting. Would you care to explain, please?

You're better off looking it up for yourself, plenty of information out there.
