When would you even need that? Plugging in an aux cable? I need it at my computer desk with a sub-out port for my still-in-box Kanto sub8. I’m also considering the Kanto ORA4 which are a bit cheaper, but probably a lower tier product anyway. $350 vs $500.

Look for desktop studio monitors. I use Kanto Ora4. P. S. Forget about the subwoofer. Small size (that you’re looking for) and quality don’t go together.

This fixed my USB speakers having no sound below about 20% volume on PipeWire/WirePlumber.My speakers were exposing a bad hardware volume curve. This makes PipeWire ignore that and handle the volume normally.First, find the USB ID for your device: lsusb Mine showed: 8888:17b6 Kanto Audio ORA4 by Kan

Please note that powered speaker type active studio monitors, (i.e. speakers that have built-in volume knob on their front), often don’t have easy subwoofer outputs. (E.g. Kali Audio LP-UNF (EAC review) or Adam Audio D3V (EAC review, EAC YT review).) So maybe consider something like Kali Audio LP-6v

If this was a few years ago, I would have said passive is the only way to go for a serious hi-fi setup. But a lot has changed in the last few years. DSP has become much cheaper and more common. And high-performance powered speakers have become cheaper and more accessible. The simple reality is that

I hope my post helped you on your research :) And when you get the chance, you really should try headphones. With the Zen 3, the sound will send you straight to the sky :D P.S. Yeah the Kanto Ora4 are very very nice speakers.

Active studio monitors (like Kali Audio products) have boundary reinforcement switches. I.e. they have controls to lower the bass if you place the speakers near one or more boundaries (wall, desktop, corner, etc.). That’s not a feature you are going to find in passive speakers or many powered speake

Honestly, with a $300-400 budget, I think you would be better off with either switching to a subwoofer that's easier to integrated with the Kali LP UNF. Or switching to set of speakers that will play nicer with a standard subwoofer. For example, you can sell your SVS 3000 Micro subwoofer and buy the

I have been having some issues with the sub out etc on my new/recently purchased WiiM Ultra. It worked lovely for a short while but then I got complete audio collapse using it. At one point you could just about recognise that my speakers were trying to play music. Other issues have been reduced audi
