JBL Studio 230 too much for gaming?

[CAPTAIN FUNGUS]

I'm getting a new desk this upcoming week and was looking at some speakers to add to the new set up. I know that these JBL speakers may be too much just for gaming but I really want some speakers that can satisfy my gaming and music craze:). 

 

Any other suggestions are very welcomed!!!! "i have a gaming headset but want some dedicated speakers for my single player games".

I have a friend with this unit and he loves it.  The bass never gets lost no matter how high you crank it.  These are more for if you wanna produce music or in a studio settings.  As for gaming it will do fine, but don't expect exaggerated highs and mids and bass.  It will sound clean and sorta how the artist wants you to hear it.  good luck 300 bucks for pair

Here are 2 links to Pro Media 2.1 THX or Logitech 2.1 THX.  My old man has the Logitech ones and they scream pretty loud, haven't really tested the bass but its solid Im sure.  Twenty years ago I used Klipsch 4.1 then passed on to my old man since I didn't need them anymore.  They sound excellent and I highly recommend them.   The link is a new gen version.  Klipsch makes speakers for theaters like 70 percent of them.

Logitech 2.1 speakers THX

 

My old man has a pair of these and they get really loud.

If you can find a pair, I would recommend the wharfedale diamond 220.

 wharfedale diamond 220's are very good, not sure how much they are in the US but in the UK they go for about £160.

If everything is exaggerated, nothing is

 

As for speaker suggestions, I could also suggest the LSR305 from same. They're more bassy than either of the larger driver versions, and they're tuned for a slightly more fun sound than flat. Depending on what gear you may or may not have, the fact that they're powered speakers may be nice. I personally like it because it means I don't have to keep my receiver on my desk anymore.
