Wireless control, USB input, BT and 3.5mm.
Balanced sound, I don't know what review say.
The Logitech Z407 is a good choice for me around $100+.

PC speaker in my opinion don't really need to spend too much.
Cuz it still depends on the sound card you are using and source.
Thanks for sharing.
Z407 speakers are still the decent one among the lot.
LGT released quite a lot of speakers but it is still not their niche.

Get second-hand "B&W S1" series speaker (Can be 601,602 or 607) and Fosi BT20A amp.
Your ears will thank you and that setup will last you for years, despite the low budget.
It costs slightly more then A2+ but way better than A2+ and even A5+
Wow another b&w user

Mine is 685 s2 with emotive dc1 DAC and a100 amp

What ur though on Kali

True audio is not area they focus on.
Gaming, conference, mouse and keyboard are their niche area.

Creative will be the natural choice.
Unfortunately, they are not really active in releasing more variety.
They are focused on one product line which is the Pebble.
I am not choosing it cos it is USB powered.
And I need to buy another adapter for it if I am using the speaker for non-PC usage.

Soundbar is not really suited for PC.

I am looking for a 2.1 speaker below $120.
Only Logitech and Creative are the brand that suit the budget.
(Logitech models are also quite a few years old liao.)
Was looking as soundbar but realized that it will not provide me the BOOm BOOM experience with its speakers and without subwoofer.

Sad to say, challenger, courts and harvey norman are the PC shops now.
SLS is in a pathetic state and they may not be the cheapest now without proper research.
They are just holding old stock in which they are waiting to get rid of.

Still using the usual PC monitor.
So, I dun have the arc option.
Just managing the finance to get the BOOM.

First thing is the speaker size for this model isn't big, smaller the speaker the bass output will be
smaller as compare with bigger speakers.
If you intend to play games I rather you get the Edifier R1280DBs at least the bass will be
deeper since the speaker is much larger than AE A2+.
New desk setup, keeping things to the bare minimum. R1280DBs is kinda big.

That's why looking at the A2+, the size looks marginally okay...

Previously using the old DELL AC511 monitor attached soundbar. was meh but hokay la... newer dell monitor attachment soundbar are a lot worst.

Yea, cant beat physics, want bass, need big drivers. AE 2+ wont cut it, its rated at 65hz minimum
Depends on what music you listen to, pop genre is fine, but r&b/jazz/metal/rock, you will be missing alot of bass and impact

However, that said, I would still take a 2.0 over any sound bar even with sub
Hmm... true, can't beat the physics. but coming from an old DELL AC511 monitor attach sound bar, I guess anything else is a good upgrade? haha... just want it to be small enuf to hide.
