No real point in the Ora/YU2 unless you have size restrictions. Go bigger if you have the space.
Desktop 2.0 speakers?

If you're looking to save space and want small speakers then I can recommend iLoud micro monitors - https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/iloudmm/
There's enough youtube vids, reviews and comparisons online for them.
My own thoughts though - Having owned 'desktop speakers' for years, the iLouds are certainly the best by a long way. They put out similar sound as a speakers 4x their size.

Will need a sub to add bass to help out those 3" woofers. Won't need much a BK Gemini or something like that would do, if your soundcard has 5.1 analogue out then use the soundcards bass management feature, probably cross around 80hz or so.
Use this is a guide where high passing the speakers

I just use them on desktop level now but bunging the bassports with foam has made a huge difference. No more fart sounding bass when turning them up.
Still really surprised at the sound that comes out of such small speakers. Can easily fill a small/medium sized room and being active (and bluetooth) means you can travel with them too.
I'm after a decent 2.0 set, needs to be fairly compact as I don't have a huge amount of space. I bought the audioengine a2+ but they had a huge amount of hiss from the PSU and the speakers even with the volume on 0. It was extremely annoying, the ancient Creative T20 Series II I'm using currently are silent. Any recommendations?
