What are decent speakers for a desktop that don't cost fucking loads, preferably ones that deliver decent bass without a subwoofer (Or at least has a small one)?

I got z200 recently and I'm not convinced these are going to do the job.
>>
anyone?
>>
>>55630913
Not enough ? I find it enough because my ears arent golden to be able need anything higher than that for now. A better sound chipset is more important. Used to be using my old x430 as a decent 5.1.

Z200 have a pretty good bass and trabble by default.
>>
>>55631122
Typo, x540 ? I cant remember, its at my other house now.
>>
>>55631122
I had Creative t10s before that decided to swap out for, due to the volume knob strangely causing one of the speakers to cut out unless it was turned the right way.
>>
Any more thoughts?
>>
need to know this too. The cheapest /r/audiophile recommendation is an 80$ amplifier and 90$ Micca MB42X. I could go for this but maybe it's just a meme. Maybe just some logitech are enough.
>>
>>55631877
Take a look at the Edifier R1280T. I was looking for a set of speakers a month ago and these seemed one of the best for the price point. Personally, I'm rather fond of the design, too.
>>
>>55631941
I'm comparing the sound to a hyperx headset.

Naturally the headset is balls to the walls better, but I'm not sure if the z200 is enough for desktop or if I should go for a t20.
>>
What desktop speakers does anon use?
>>
>logitech
fuck no
>>
>>55630913
I have those exact speakers and i don't find them that bad at all.
>>
How good are the Creative T20s?

So, is this anything better than these for the same price?

>t20s have a retarded power saving mode

fuck that noise.

>>55632396
Get the 8's. I have them, they're great. Great bang for buck tbqh
>>
>>55632728
Too expensive
>>
>>55632396
Yamaha HS5
Tannoy Reveal 502 and basically any other 5" monitor is better than those.
> gentle reminder that putting speakers into an untreated room is basically a waste of money
>>
>>55632752
The LSR series is meant to work better than the HS8's and 502's in untreated rooms, though I do agree if your room isn't treated or ideal, then you're wasting your money either way.
>>
>>55632752
>>55632784
How do you treat a room?
>>
>>55632796
Auralex foam/acoustic foam, proper positioning of the speakers and mix position.

http://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/room-improvement

As long as your room isn't terribly reverberant, it should be easy enough to treat it. If you have furniture in the room it can help as well.
>>
>>55632846
i really just wnat to listen to music/movies/games, not produce any
>>
>>55632863
Sound is sound, production or not, if you want the best out of your speakers, you should treat your room. There are extreme examples where critical listening is key and people spend shit tonnes of money redesigning their rooms from inside out. You definitely wouldn't need to do that but it wouldn't hurt to invest in some room treatment.
>>
>>55632258
maybe he doesn't need overpriced audioautist speakers you know?
>>
>>55632912
Adding foam seems quite exagerated. I'm not looking into making my room a studio. Proper positioning of the speakers is trivial though
>>
>>55632258
They're pretty damn good for the price.

>decent bass without a subwoofer

lololololololol
>>
>>55637884
bass != subbass although part of it, you can have DECENT bass without too much subbass in which case you'd have good bass
>>
>>55630913
I'm using the ones in your picture, they work perfectly fine and get very loud.

If he's using relatively low quality speakers, treating the room won't make much of a difference.

/g confirmed for worst audio advice

unless you're using speakers that are somewhat physically large, you're not actually getting any good bass to speak of, so other anon is correct

you won't understand what's missing until you actually have better speakers or a subwoofer

"Creative GigaWorks T20 Speakers"

I have these fuckers on my desk at home, fed by the line out of a fiio e10 dac. Bassy but not nigger beetz shit.
>>
>>55640747
because you hear a thump from your speakers, doesnt mean its good bass
>>
>>55639988
I too have these would recommend
>>
>>55640881

>"real bass"

fuck off jamal. Some people listen to music that consists of more than just a beat.
>>
>>55630913
Fluance Sx6's are pretty good. I tried the Micca MB42X's and they just sounded awful compared.
>>
Creative t12
>>
>>55643444
it just werks
>>
>>55643453
the sub cant reach frequency required
>>
>>55641703
Nah it's true man. Even a small monitor needs a certain room to work well. Sure, investing too much money into room treatment for a cheap monitor isn't worthy, but at least the room must be big enough to not produce echoes and reverberations, not to say that the room must have a regular shape. It's also pretty laughable that people buy monitor speakers without caring too much about their positioning.
>>
>>55645369
i would say a small room would be the downfall you have a large space room treatment for small monitors arnt nessesary i also agree about the monitor placement there are super retards on /g/
>>
>>55640869
>>55640997
I never said it was good bass
