Hello community.

Looking for suggestions on speakers

Currently have the Bose companion 5

No issues at all. Besides having a minimal set up having cables around on a motorized desk

I'm debating between the sound blaster katana x or the E25 HD Luna Eclipse

 

I use my speakers for:

PC gaming

Music

YouTube/Netflix

 

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

Anything Creative will be a toy sound compared to your Bose 5.  That would be a downgrade.  What is your budget and what config you want 2.0 or 2.1 or 5.1 or 7.1 ?

Asus Sabertooth x79 / 4930k @ 4500 @ 1.408v / Gigabyte WF 2080 RTX / Corsair VG 64GB @ 1866 & AX1600i & H115i Pro @ 2x Noctua NF-A14 / Carbide 330r Blackout

Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface / KRK Rokits 10" / Sennheiser HD 650 / Logitech G Pro Wireless Mouse & G915 Linear & G935 & C920 / SL 88 Grand / Cakewalk / NF-A14 Int P12 Ex
AOC 40" 4k Curved / LG 55" OLED C9 120hz / LaCie Porsche Design 2TB & 500GB / Samsung 950 Pro 500GB / 850 Pro 500GB / Crucial m4 500GB / Asus M.2 Card

I would like to stay under $400

Open to suggestions on 2.0-2.1-5.1-7.1

 

Not an audiophile by any means

Simplicity and good sound is all I need. 

If keeping my Bose is a better option in good with that. Just lost of cables lol

  • Razer Leviathan

I have never heard of this so I can't comment on the audio quality.  If your budget is 400 or so and you want 2.0 powered speakers I suggest you look into the Yamaha hS5 which is a studio monitors and are powered no need for amplifier.  Just plug it into your sound card with a converter and your set.  Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitor

 

Self powered pro studio monitors.  The link is for 1 monitor,  So your final price is 400 dollars.  You will hear music and audio the way the producer meant for you to hear it.

McIntosh reference line. Im joking. Like @NinJake said, the vanatoo's are extremely good for the price.

 

LTT's Resident Porsche fanboy and nutjob Audiophile.

 

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

The Vanatoo Transparent Zero wasn't out when I was recommended the Transparent One here on the forum. I can say that it was one of the best purchases I've made. There's so many "gamer" speakers or "loud" speakers that might sound great to the average person... however this is mainly due to the fact that the average person hasn't sat down and listened to a good quality audio set up to compare against.

Here's my review of the Transparent One.
