Need some general PC speakers

May 5, 2020

TL;DR

I have a steinberg UR22 that has two 1/4 inch jacks for stereo output. I like unmodified sound.

Long

I have some Sennheisser studio music headphones & a sweet soundcard. It'd be nice to be able to use speakers every now & then.

I'd like some small speakers that aren't too obstructive. A subwoofer would be okay. I had a set of really nice PC speakers when I was younger, but someone took them & I have no idea where they are now.

My desk could accommodate speakers about 5.5 inches tall.

I know many music studio production speakers that are very high quality are much bigger at like 10~14 inches tall by like 5~6 inches wide.

If there's nothing worth getting in this size category, I'd believe it & would have to see what adjustments to my workspace would need to be made or accept I cannot use some speakers.

I am currently using the Steinberg UR 22 which is an older model; I don't have the UR22 MKII-that one succeeded my model. It has the Electric Guitar plug things on the back. I think those are 1/4 inch jacks? My soundcard also has an output volume adjustment of its own.

I'm guessing the super audiophiles will guide me to speakers with their own output adjustment & tell me to max my soundcard output as it'd then be input to the speakers.

I can budget about 80~120 prefered. Max of like $150.
