	I've got Aego M's connected to my TV which are actually meant to be computer speakers, maybe I'll just get some more of those!

	Tbh the speakers are positioned each side of the amp, like tight against it. I do mean to get some stands. Using a denon cd player, not sure on model though

	quote: Originally posted by 3CorsaMeal I got the NAD 316 amp and monitor audio BX2 and some fancy wires. I'm surprised you're comparing that system to £30 creative speakers. I'd perhaps look at speaker mounting and position and source material (what cd player are you using?).

Depends on how you spent that £500; spend poorly and you can still end up with a turd of a system.

	I bought some cheap 2.1 creative audio system, about £30. At the same sort of time i spent about £500 on an separate amp and speakers for my music, just plug in cd player or ipod. I honestly think the £30 set is just as good. [Edited on 13-03-2015 by 3CorsaMeal]

	You sound like you have some knowledge on this kind of thing :) how far should they be placed away? That's the issue I have... on the desk they're going to be like 10-15" away and I just can't see this giving great sound! With my other idea of the wardrobe thing, they'd be like 15-20 feet away lol, bit different I know.

	Problem with monitors is that they aren't particular pleasant for long periods of music listening as they're generally very sterile which tends to amplify 'ear' fatigue - i get it using my KRK's after an hour or so. Personally i think you'd be better off getting something like Monitor Audio BX1/BX2's or Dali Zensor 1's and a suitable amp like a NAD D3020.

	Would think a set of active studio monitors would be exactly the thing to go for if you produce music. And/or some decent cans.

	Just moving into a new place, first time with the missus... learning to share things :lol: slowly. Anyway, the main purpose of the second bedroom is for the desk and computer. She works from home quite often, whereas for me it's purely about browsing Corsasport and listening to music (also do a bit of DJing/production) so the sound system is important to me. At the moment I have an amplifier, subwoofer and massive Jamo speakers. She's not too happy about me taking the room over with all this stuff so thinking about alternatives. Firstly can you actually get decent sound from 'desktop' speakers? My other idea was to hide the speakers in the big wardrobe have in there and just slide the doors back when I'm going to be listening... could fit proper bookshelf speakers in there but not sure if they'd just vibrate the wardrobe and sound shit? Any ideas? :P Willing to spend up to £500.
