Pc speakers for gaming

What do you recommend for gaming between this options?
Razer nommo, audioengine a2+ or edifier s530d
Or are there any better option

I have the edifier s530 (non digital version), they are quite good quality with reasonable amps, the desk controller is handy and easy to operate. The downside however is the supplied left and right speakers have a gap in the mid range so I replaced these speakers with others, then it was all quite good.

Gaming speakers are a bit of a gimmick imo, just like gaming headsets.

Get something like the SMSL-36A and some Wharfdale 9.0's.

Wharfdale 9 is gonna be hard to find in spain

I run 2 edifier r1600t plus passive speakers, from 2 sets of edifier r1600t plus's.

What? You have two sets of front speakers? Bas idea.

I was looking for diamond 9.0 in Spain and seems imposible to buy. What about diamond 11.0 or diamond 210/220. Are they similar?
Or maybe Q accoustics 3010i/3020i?

hornetstinger · 10 Mar 2019 at 11:04

Yeah those are good speakers bigger q acoustics give wider response

The Q Acoustics are better than the 9's but they'll probably require a more powerful t-amp like the SA-50. I use the 2020i's in my living room with an avr.

Presonus Eris 4.5, Edifier R1600T, and R1280T are popular powered speakers but more classed as studio monitors.

I saw smsl ad18

Now that you're wanting to switch between speakers and headphones I was going to suggest the AD18 as an all in one.

Alternatively you're looking at a headphone amp with phono out for powered speakers which is what I have. Just unplug headphones to switch to speakers and plug back in to get sound through headphones .
