It is nicer to be able to listen to the choices yourself if at all possible. Bluetooth is compressed and in general lossy and to be avoided if you have Airplay 2 or wi-fi (uPnP, DLNA, Chromecast). HDMI for Tv or computer - most computers support more than one HDMI or DP output.USB for easy control f

Hi there. Both Argon Audio and Ruark Audio make good value speakers, so those two are safe choices in my opinion. I can think of a couple more options which you might like, in both looks and sound: Cambridge Audio L/R S - black or walnut ELAC Debut ConneX DCB41 - black ash or walnut Tannoy Gold Seri

There is a point to powered speakers in around your price point at £500. It gives good value for your money (vs passive systems). But you would have slightly easier time upgrading those passive systems, since you wouldn’t need to change everything. These two could be the powered options to consider:

An older second hand integrated amplifier with a built in phono stage and passive speakers are more abundant and easier to find. Powered speakers place the amplifier into the primary speaker and have a second passive speaker connected by speaker cable. Active speakers with active crossovers have amp

I've got ELAC connex dcb41 as they are perfect size for the space I have, they are quite good to be honest, the x bass setting also helps - i had some edifier ones before but these are better. They are good value though certainly, i wanted maybe some Rokits but they are too big for my desk...

Ah yes I also bought edifiers as my first set of desktop speakers, but then I switched to Elac DCB41, both are good.

Thanks for the additional info. So you've got some decent options based on the measurements you provided. As for the speaker stand/wedge, a DIY wood option would be really nice and it would give you the option to do the math to make it with the angle that will be best for your room and position, as

seems like you're looking for speakers with their own internal amplification, known as "active" or "powered" speakers. the new ELAC Connex DCB61's might be worth considering, depending on how much space you have. there is a smaller version (DCB41) if you don't have a lot of desk space. Both have a s

The elac debut connex dcb41 are worth a listen. You could pick them up off Amazon and return if you hate them. I listened to them at capital audio fest last year and was thoroughly impressed. I only ended up with the LSX II since I got a really good deal, but would have had no hesitation buying the
