Begging for all the Lemmy Audiophiles recommendations on computer speakers! (sh.itjust.works)

I haven’t bought computer speaker setup in well over a decade, but getting back into gaming, any suggestions?

I ask, due to the fact it looks like the old brands are all over the place in quality these days, like the Logitech G560 Speaker System, whose required software is messy. https://a.co/d/00gehZRS

Which is really making me wish I kept up to date, as Amazons current “recommendations system” can’t be trusted for quality with so many being cheapo speakers and SEO ruining result searches.

Thanks in advance, as I feel like I’ve awaken in a speaker dystopia. 😧

I have been using a pair of Roth Audio OLi-RA1 speakers with my computer, they are real stereo speakers and require an amplifier to wire them up and power them.

The are excellent speakers, good general speakers, and not that expensive.

I don't use a subwoofer, but it isn't really needed for me, I do miss some sub bass, but that never bothered me.

I am currently running them with a no brand Chinese analog amp, from the soubd out on my monitor that is connected to my computer with DisplayPort.

Works great.

I sm considering getting a Dennon RCD-M41 tl replace my amp, but have not had any need to do so in the last eight years.
