Looking for desktop speakers. I did make a thread asking about the audioengine a2's couple of days ago but i haven't made my mind up on getting them. So the question is can anyone recommend me something in the £200 price range. 

 

Edit:Not looking for something too bass heavy, i mostly listen to heavy metal, acoustic and Dance "wub wub"

An amp wouldn't do anything, he would need a DAC.

I don't know what's available in your neck of the woods, where's the websites you'll be shopping from?

Well what are you looking for? Are you wanting to add a sub later down the road? How big is your desk?

Not looking to add a sub. I just want something that will be great for heavy metal, acoustic and Dance and my desk is 195x110 cm.

Can you pick up the a5/a5+ in your price range? I'm on my phone and too lazy look at prices.

I would say them or the fostexs.

I'll look more into them tomorrow

+1 an amp is going to give you better sound, it's only going to amplify it obviously. a DAC will give you much better quality.

Out of those, I would go with the Fostex's or the M-Audio's.

Also, just because I like the way they look and the bass/treble controls: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Edirol-MA-20D-MA-20D-MA20D-Active-Studio-Monitor-PAIR-CLEAN-/121168353423?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Speakers_Monitors&hash=item1c3632588f

 

eBay.co.uk puts .us to shame when it comes to bookshelf speakers for whatever reason.
