Hello. I'm looking for a set of 2 (passive) speakers to go with the Fosi Audio BT20A Pro for general music and radio listening either side of my PC monitor (will have them on stands at head height).

The room is probably around 5m x 4m, so not that big. The speakers will basically be pointing at me pretty close. I have elderly neighbours so I'm not trying to shake the house, but I do like to hear those nice smooth basslines if possible when I decide to paly my music. I also enjoy the clarity in vocals etc though, so a bit of both is good (maybe with a nice smooth bass being important if pushed - but I know that generally a 4" isn't going to give massive bass). I'm not going to be playing them really loud, but I enjoy the quality when at the highest volume I'm playing them at.

Also, they may be getting moved to a larger area in a couple of years so a bit of extra power doesn't hurt. For now, I'm probably looking at something with a max 4" or 4.5" bass speaker due to limited desk space (from my research), so the best I can get in this limited space for now, would be good. I've looked at loads of the speakers with a 5" bass driver/speaker but unfortunately it makes them too big for my current desk setup (it would be an easy choice otherwise).

I would say that £200 for the speakers is top end of what I'm budgeting for. Hopefully I can get a good listening experience for a total of £300 including the amp and the speakers. I havn't purchased the amp yet. I've looked at powered options but apart from the new Edifier M90 that's not available in the UK yet, nothing else has convinced me yet. If anyone has any other good ideas I'm always open to having mind changed. Many thanks folks, appreciate any thoughts.

Hello. I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of speakers to fit on my PC desk either side of my monitor. My budget is up to around £200 (GBP) or around there if needed. The sound source will come straight from my audio out on the rear of my PC.

I'm not looking for 'monitor' speakers which are slightly more suited to music production as I've had a pair of Edifier's before which were monitors and lacked the bass that I liked. I'm looking for a fuller normal listening sound with a nice bit of bass. It's not necessarily thumping bass I'm looking for, but more so the lower buzzy smooth type of bass (if that even makes sense). I mostly listen to R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop and Country, so a bit of a mix really.

They will need to be bookshelf size or maybe slightly larger. I was looking at something like the Pioneer DJ-DM-40 seen here (they do say they're monitors, but apparently the bass is good on these and has a rear switch for making them more punchy or flat): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B251YWR7?th=1

Many thanks if you have any ideas (alternatively, maybe I'd be better off with a good small amp and a set of passive speakers).
