Swan tiong brand but good quality, my M10s still working after 6 years or so, buay pai.

My Yamaha KS10s died after 3 months, on the other hand

I bought Hivi D100 earlier, sound good, value for the money too...

Buying speaker isn't about brand but the sound.
If you put it that way, Creative to some like myself I won't recommend.
QC and reliability is questionable.

I myself also using Edifier but not that speaker.
PC speaker wise usually brands are Logitech, Edifier and etc.
Unless you want high end than KEF but may exceed your budget.

To a certain extent, the sound stage, SQ could be associated with the brand too.

You can try Audioengine A5+ or HD6. Kef you can consider LSX.

I was thinking audioengine, any idea where is a good place to buy?

Audioengine can be tested at Adelphi AV One.

No offence to you, bro. My budget 2k surely got better choices than tiong brand right

Not wise to spend $2000 for computer speaker. With a buget of $2000, i recommend this upgrades to your audio system > Dali Oberon 5, Marantz PM6007 and Asus Essence STX II 7.1. It's up to your wisdom and you need this decent wires > Chord Company C-line and AudioQuest Rocket 11. It's going to be a jaw dropping experience.

Already using a Dali Oberon 5 for the living area but thanks for the tips though, good choices of wire there.

Why not just consider a 2,1 soundbar? No need for cable and calibration.

My Creative Inspire T6300 just died today :'( used for 3 years, $100 for it.

Look thru the thread, saw Creative T40 being mentioned. Go Creative website, see a promo price of $149 for T40 after $100 discount, but then think of how long my creative speaker lasts... :/ Moreover, there are mentions here that Creative products don't last. My last 2 speakers were creative.

Contemplating if I should up my budget for speakers to $200 or maybe even $300.

Sad but true, as much I myself also support Creative in the past.
I have owned many series, Inspire, Gigaworks and Megaworks.
The speakers don't last very long, most had common issues such as remote control not working.

I would recommend Edifier R1280DBs than T40.

No space for Edifier R1280DBs
I'll need something small like what I have now

I'm using creative T40 series 2 speaker, suite limited table size, close sitting range and good value for money.
This 2 ways 3 speakers design sound faithful to original source with reasonable bass, good mids and highs, clear, hard hitting,
good depth, sound stage and sonic performance only if you able to setup well. Else you can take a look at this > Klipsch ProMedia 2.1.
