I have the A5+ and they are nice and can get absurdly loud if you want them to.

Thanks guys, would I need to buy an amplifier or additional peripherals for theses? Also would a subwoofer be required as well?

house party only with pc speakers ?

if he doesnt have house system maybe he should focus on that
parties with 2 speaker setup ? most modern receivers have 7ch stereo which is nice and can be hooked up to pc still
and limited to mobo audio dac which we dont know about but still can be reasonable and will

but I wouldnt throw a party with pc speakers, maybe small get togethers if thats what he means

fyi I have 3 receivers and x7
my 7.2 yamaha has given me 2 disturbing the peace tickets lol
but have 2 subs also removed my sub from my office


I want to use these for the basement, as I don't have decent speakers down there. But my computer is in the basement, so figured could use those.

I use speakers from home theatre set for main floor.

but it would be weird to setup like a 5.1 system on receiver and then use the other 2 channels for pc. to set that up and constantly switch between them would be weird with a 7 channel receiver. i guess its possible true, but probably cost well over $500 too.

Yea 2 computer speakers are not ideal for a party, but can probably have a small party up to like 15 people and still have decent sound from 2 computer speakers in his price range

I would say that pair of these is best you can get for the budget, they are listed as single speakers. https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-B2031A-BEHRINGER-TRUTH/dp/B0002MRCLQ? There is better sound quality speakers in budget but as you want to blast them I would pick these.

Like i said receivers have. 7channel stereo mode and couple other features
Yes but he explained for his basement which is what i was getting at and getting an amp and speakers is not that expensive just takes up room

Hey guys,

Looking into buying a new set of computer speakers fro my desk. I would like them to be good quality, and able to play fairly loud, as I would likely use them to play music when I have house parties.
I guess price point would be under $500 preferably (unless some audiophiles have other suggestions).

thanks for any feedback or opinions, it is much appreciated!



Get some KRK‘s, thats the best way to go... no problems playing loud music for a house party.
