I will be putting the sub underneath where my sub currently is, these speakers have seen me well for over 8+ years now and are starting to show there age.


I need some speakers that will look good on this desk but the main thing is they will fit... as you can probably tell its a very small desk I'm working with at the moment.

Thanks for all the help guys



Also be a bonus to have a controller like the one on the left of this photo but its no issue if not
 
I probably would have phrased it a little better but hornetstinger makes a good point. Do you always have the rear speakers next to the front speakers?!
 
Having surround speakers there defeats the point, you may as well disconect them. Surround speakers need to be at side or rears.

It would sound better if you disconnect the rears and use your speakers in 2 channel. Those Wharefedales will take up less space than the speakers you have now, and sound better.

You'll need a amplifier, get something like a T-amp or similar

And all i do is just plug the amp into the 3.5 in my machine? I have a pretty decent board i think for sound
 
I use Q Acoustics 2010i ( small footprint / that's a 34" widescreen monitor - for scale ) with an SMSL amp ( you can see it far right of the picture ) probably cost £150 all-in ( with cables ) depending on which amp you get.

You would run the RCA left and right channels from your soundcard to the amp ( though i run seperate external DAC )

yup 3.5mm out, or if you get a t-amp with built in DAC, then it bypasses the PC's noisy analogue stage.

Make sure you use the L/R line out, set 2 channel in your soundcard speaker output, and set volume high. Line level should be at 100% but it depends on soundcard output, try 90% because it may distory at 100%.

Then use the amps volume control, set to minimum.

As above use hifi speakers, those Q Acoustics are good. I'm using Celestion A1's. These are huge though, 7" bass/midrange driver I think.

so 2 aux's from the motherboard to the amp.. then a L and R from the amp to the speakers?
 
Depends on the amp. 3.5mm from PC is stereo so you need 3.5mm to stereo RCA.

If your soundcard has RCA sterereo out (unlikely but possible with higher end like M-Audio) then need two RCA-RCA cables.

I use a AVR as it receives audio digitally, either via optical, coaxial or HDMI and decodes PCM and multi-channel and can do bass management, room EQ, something stereo amps lack.
