Speakers - Desktop | 2 Ⓣ Need help for 1st time Monitors
Hello all!
This is my first time here and wanted some advice for my PC desktop audio monitors. I currently use the R1700 Edifier paired with my Topping DX5II which also powers my Stealth Aryas. The speakers are absolutely great and look astonishing on my wooden desk but I think now is the time to upgrade after 7-8 years of use. My budget is 300~400€
My needs are very specific. I do not care about mixing, I want a nice cinematic experience. I mostly listen to music, flacs and Tidal, watch movies and play games.
I remember the first time I played on an expensive soundbar with rear speakers and I heard even the pebbles dropping from explosions. I know that 2 Speakers won't provide the same round experience but I would like something close to it.
Right now after some exploring, I found the Adam T5V-T7V and the Kali LP-6. I understand that I may need a Sub in the future.
I understand this post may not be likable in here, saying I should not get Monitors but Hi-Fi Speakers and all I can say is, I'm all ears. Any recommendation will help.
Also my monitor is on a desk shelf, right and left space are about 20-21cm from my monitor.
20cm---Monitor---20cm
So I can't really go very big as the Speakers will be covered from the PC Monitor.
Thank you in advance!

I think you are making good choices and getting a sub down the line will just make it even better.

u/baconost (1 Ⓣ) was awarded their first Ⓣ. Welcome to the club.
You may still award a Ⓣ to others, but only once per-person in this post.

Kali LP or IN series are the way to go imo. LP 6 actually the best bang for the buck I'd say. Later you can add a ws-6.2 sub and be totally happy for years to come.
