Has anyone had experience of using Dali speakers for pc?

Looking for a good stereo set of speakers so I don't need to use my headset all the time and so can hear the intercom, gate buzzer and/or "the wife" lol.

Quite liked the look of Dali kubik free and xtra speakers and reviews I've seen rate them as the aural second coming. I realise they maybe a little overkill but I really fancy a great pair of stereo speakers with sound to die for.

Thanks for any help/insight.

Thanks for the answers so far guys.

Desk I'm using has my 35" monitor on it and a 27" monitor with just over 6 foot between them space wise and each monitor is about a foot away from the wall on either side. The desk is bespoke and runs the entire length of the wall. Desk top is 600mm deep.

Ok, so looking at the Dali speakers the "Free" speaker is active and can be connected to PC via a mini USB port. There is also the option to connect a sub should you wish to.

Also seen Kef X300A speakers which received similarly good reviews and as above are active speakers connected via USB but without the flexibility to add a sub should you so desire at some point.

Sound advice (see what I did there?):D

Yeah the Dali kubik speakers as a pair are still £900. I'll pop over to an audio store and take a look and see if I can audition them.

Thank you for all the info and recommendations.

I'll definitely take all this into consideration and let you know how I get on.

I have the Dali Kubic One soundbar it really is brilliant bit of kit i use it for movies and music and it delivers at everything. Might add the Dali E9F sub at some point

Just been looking at the Dali soundbar, receives some excellent reviews and looks good too. Do you have this connected to your PC via the USB? Would the stereo from this be comparable to separate speakers, the reviewers seemed very impressed with its performance.

Undecided between the One or the Free and Xtra speakers which I'd defo connect via the USB as the amp is built into these. Either way I'm inclined, like you say to consider the Dali sub as it will connect to either option.

In either scenario space won't be an issue as my desk is ridiculously enormous (bespoke full length of the wall, some fifteen feet at least).

This may be a dumb question but on further studying the connection options on the Dali speakers they recommend using USB for connecting a PC. It also has an optical port, is there anything stopping me connecting this way to the optical port at the back of my PC?

Finally decided and went with the Dali Kubik free and xtra speakers. Connecting them via toslink and I have the option to add a sub later.

God dayum!

These things sound amazing, burning them in at the moment (they arrived today). Soundstage is impressive and being bombarded with detail I didn't know I was missing. Rob Zombie sounds mighty fine on these, very impressed.

Well packaged and presented, bigger than I'd imagined but in a glad way. Decent weight to them, just wary of the remote everyone seems to hate but no reason to complain so far. Think I got the newer brushed metal version of the remote, comfy in use.

Hardest part will be concealing the wires coming out the back and that white umbilical cord that connects the speakers that stands out like a sore thumb on my black desk lol. Just gonna have to use my cable routing holes in the desk to best effect.

Yeah the Dali sub is definitely on my radar even more so now I've heard the speakers. So glad I went with Dali, quality in build and sound is excellent.
