Good speakers for asus xonar essence stx

[smickoi]

Hey guys what speakers (not really big fan of headphones) do you recommend for the asus xonar essence stx.

I prefer 2.0 but will be happy with 2.1 if they're better.

Price range around the $200 mark, limit $300 but only if they're super awesome and worth it.

Mostly used for music and gaming. Bass is good but not so overpowering that it drones and becomes annoying (2.1).

Thanks :)

Look at augioengine's offerings... if you are looking for more audiophile grade speakers vs gaming speakers.

go for a passive set.

this amp should power any speakers for nearfield use.

and for the speakers, you could build your own or find something in your price range.

if you can stretch your budget a little these would be sweet. each sold separately so you'll need 2.

I would recommend the Corsair sp2500's for a high quality 2.1 setup. (you can turn off the sub with the lcd controller included with the speakers)
