What Are The Best Desktop Speakers?

Thiel PCS?

I wanted ro go passive...or is that too much trouble?

Maybe getting to sound like a broken record, but IMO, you should try the NHT M00s if you are going to a powered speaker.

What's the best way to connect them to the PC? What cable/sub/CC are you guy's using? Anyone doing Surround?

I have heard nothing but outstanding reviews for Audioengine speakers. They seem to be a good choice. For one of my desktop systems I use Mirage OMD-5's. They really seem to immerse one in the music. Of course, the bass response is decent but most likely not ideal so a small sub may be needed depending on preference.

I agree. I have a pair being driven by a Shandling MC 30 (and occasionally by a little Jolida 102B with those beautiful sounding EL 84 tubes) and it is really amazing the quality of sound coming from the system. Eat your heart out Bose Wave.

Those are great little speakers. Might be hard to beat.
