desktop speaker selection

[Krispy Kritter]

I'm currently using the Logitech Z-5500's. They are OK for what they are, but I am wanting to upgrade.

My future plans are to move my current Onkyo AVR to my desktop. That likely won't happen until summer or more likely next Christmas. Until then, I was hoping to simply replace the current Logitech front speakers with something better. I was looking at a pair of Polks ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290201 ), but I'm not sure about the size (ie: physical size). So I'm looking for something decent in a smaller package. Any suggestions?

Thanks

i don't have any experience with the others listed

I have a pair of monitor 30s and i think they are pretty awesome for the $70~ i got them for


I am using a pair of Polk T15s i got at bb for $50~ a pair with a t-amp (SMSL SA-S3) for my computer speakers it is pretty sweet

you might want to consider a t-amp if you want to save some space


you can see mine in "action" here.

If you are on a smaller budget, there is the JBL Control 1 Pro.

http://www.amazon.com/JBL-CONTROL-PRO-Performance-Miniature/dp/B000U2G6VA

It is about the same size as the SuperZero listed above, but for half the price for a pair. I have them and they are great little speakers for how much I paid. I am not sure if it is an Amazon pricing error, but it is showing up as double the price everywhere else. In any case, I would not go much smaller than this size, especially if you are going for a 2.0 setup. Good luck!

I really like my AudioEngine A2's, impressive little speakers.

In all seriousness the JBL are pretty good for the price.

PartsExpress has the best bang for the buck going for the least expensive and still decent route.

Thanks for the input, I'll check those out.

The SuperZero's look pretty nice.
