-Pair of Polk T15 passive bookshelf speakers
~50-80 for pair
-Fosi Q4 DAC amp for connection to PC via usb cable
~60
-Fosi TB10A analog amp, connect via RCA plugs to speakers
~60
I like this flexibility because I can swap any of those 3 components out for budget but worthy upgrades if I so desire without a major hit to the wallet.
you could skip the dac but I wanted to get away from mobo sounds that were hard to eliminate. and i like the desktop available headphone port.
I find this to be superior to the Edifier pair I had before which were already a great budget experience.
Quick note for any old schoolers, I still to this day miss my Logitech Z400 system. For the price I have yet to see a system produce that kind of sound from 4 satellites and a sub. I still have the satellites for small portable setups, but the sub started crackling and the volume knob ate it at some point.
