Hello guys,
so I am currently using Audio-GD R2R-11 with my Audio-Technica ATH-AD900x. I would like to add a pair of speakers to my pc setup for music and movies in the 500ish range. The room is 25 m^2. I have been looking at active speakers such as Kanto yu6 or Klipsch R-51PM. But I am open to the passive speakers/stereo amp combo as well. Would you have some recommendation which would be better for the money. Also I would like to have an opportunity to add a subwoofer in the future if the bass will not be sufficient.

The Audio-GD R2R-11 is a DAC/headphone amp/speaker pre amp with rca output

Thanks for any recommendations

Well I am using a pair of JBL 308 Mk 2 with a sub in my office. I would definitely look for a sub option to use with them. Any of the smaller speakers will benefit by getting the LF into a sub and they will sound much better having a solid foundation as opposed to the thin sound missing the last 2 octaves if used alone.
