Looking for passive desktop speakers

Speakers & Subwoofers
1

I have a spare Topping PA3 and I want to get some budget speakers under $300 in the USA(doesn’t have to be now and will wait for sales) for one of my spare desktops. I already own RB42s, HVL-1s, Paradigm SE Atoms for other setups, so I’d like to try something else. Use case will be 70% music and 30% gaming. Don’t see myself buying a sub for this setup. Speakers I’m eyeing are:

  • NHT SuperZero 2.1
  • JBL Studio 530
  • Pioneer SP-BS22-LR
  • Emotiva Airmotiv B1+
  • KEF Q150

But I’m open to any new suggestions. DIY is not an option simply because I lack the desire to do so lol.

+1 for B1+. I find them skewed in the bright direction, but nothing major.

I have B1+'s

They are a bit lean in the bass department, otherwise been working great as desk speakers for me.

The deals thread has triangle bro3’s for the 350$

Klipsch RP-600M. they supposedly work quite well at lower volumes and maintain macrodynamics. :smiley:

these may be available at your price point on the used market.

I can personally vouch for the 530 on a pa-3 in near field. I upgraded the amp to da-8s for extra awesome.
