Because you have good tastes and the reasons you gave are the same reasons I would like to read a book about them <| sep |> Hey guys ! I ' m looking for a good desktop speaker setup ! Preferably aroundunder $ 100 , I don ' t want anything super fancy . As of right now , I have a solid headphone collection M 50 x , HD 8 DJ , and HyperX Clouds for gaming . With that , I have a Fiio Olympus 2 DAC , which I presume would power my speakers as well as headphones when they ' re plugged in . Now I will be mounting these to shelves above me the speakers will be around 55 inches from my head , pointed at a slight 20 degree angle down . Here are my few requests The speakers can ' t be too big . Since these will be mounted to shelves above me , they have should have a clearance height of around 9 inches . Additionally , if they ' re too fat , they ' ll be obtrusive and won ' t fit well with my setup . I would prefer to get a speakersub combo , with the sub under my desk . A sub isn ' t necessary at the moment , I can buy one down the line . Although my price is around a 100 bucks and I am flexible , I ' d only want to pay more if there ' s that much of a difference . Else , I ' d prefer something cheaper . This one is minor , but I ' d prefer woodenbrown speakers , as they ' d look better with my shelves . Here is the best thing I could find , but I ' m naive in the speaker w o r l d S peakersplayersTabletsSPHF 800 AdpB 008 F 2 YEN 4 refsr 112 ? selectronicsieUTF 8 qidtelsr 112 keywordsdesktopspeakers more of a headphone junkie myself Can anyone attest to how good these would be , at least from 55 inches ~ 4 12 feet , 1 . 2 meters away ?
