Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Desktop speaker recommendations...

I have a great little desktop /computer/ "home studio" system comprising a FocusRite audio interface (that serves as DAC / preamp here), a small SMSL class D amp, a pair of vintage Bang&Olufsen C40 and a Final active subwoofer (dutch brand that makes ESL panels) with a 8" woofer. The sub has both low-pass AND high-pass and I high-pass the small B&O + SMSL amp at 100Hz.
The whole thing sounds great - and loud!
You could easily do something similar, the key is having a subwoofer that offers a line-level HIGH PASS, and a digital audio interface that can be used as "preamp" and connects to your computer through USB.
(The SMSL amp was around 70$, the B&O were 40$ on a flea market, the Final sub was 150$ in the local ads and the FocusRite digital interface was around 150 I guess)
