Looking for speaker set up

[DynamicTypo]

I've never had desktop speakers before but was wanting to get them to wear headphones less. 

I don't know a whole lot about speaker brands (which are good which are bad), so any recommendations or information on what to look for would be great.

- I would prefer to stay under 200$  but am a bit flexible if its worth the extra cost.

- I was wanting a surround sound setup for my pc ( I'm not sure if that's a bad idea).

 

If any more information is needed please ask and I will update the topic.

 

I have looked at the Logitech Z906, and the Logitech Z606, but read somewhere that other brands where better.

I have passive speakers with a small desktop amp: These Micca RB42 with one of these SMSL SA300 or Fosi Audio TDA7498E

 

But if you want a bit more convenience of self powered you can get one of these: Monolith MM-3 or Edifier R1700BTs 

 

I doubt you can find surround for under $200, at least not something of any quality.

do you thin I could buy one of these pairs now, then buy a second, a subwoofer, and some controller later on and do surround then?

You could do that, yes.

sorry to bother you again, do you think the Micca RB42 that you recommended would work well for a future surround set up or would you recommend purpose built speakers for something like that.

For sure. They are really good for the price. They make great front channels, but I actually think they are overkill for rear or side channel. You could save a bit by going with something cheaper than those for the back and sides.

The miccas can also do bass really well that you really don't need a sub either especially if your doing nearfields for reference I recorded this a while ago just for shit and giggles
