Computer Speakers


Thinking about an upgrade for a room where I spend a lot of time - the home office at the computer.

I am thinking of active speakers for near field listening conditions under $1,000.  

Ideas?

No room for the tiny Maggie desktop setup or even for a rear facing port... any good acoustic suspension speakers I can try?

KANTOs

Either the YU 4’s or Yu6’s ( 6’s preferred). I have last year’s model, the "YU5" .... highly recommended .

I have the Audioquest Dragonfly micro-DAC from a USB port on the PC and the AQ 3.5 mm-RCA cables connecting itto the KANTOs RCA L-R inputs. 

I then a subwoofer IC RCA cable out from the KANTO internal amp output to a subwoofer sitting on the floor under my desks for the added lower register fill-in.

and voila... desktop nearfield listening nirvana.

Thx everyone

The YU's have a rear facing port just like the Monitor Audio BX*'s I have now.  That disqualifies them as these need to sit in a corner.

Too bad Roy Allison is dead...
Music Direct has the Quad 9AS(Plug the ports with foam) with built in 24/192 DAC,USB/Optical/Coax and analogue inputs for $400.00...IMO you will not be able to better these for the money...
