I haven’t bought computer speaker setup in well over a decade, but getting back into gaming, any suggestions?

I ask, due to the fact it looks like the old brands are all over the place in quality these days, like the Logitech G560 Speaker System, whose required software is messy. https://a.co/d/00gehZRS

Which is really making me wish I kept up to date, as Amazons current “recommendations system” can’t be trusted for quality with so many being cheapo speakers and SEO ruining result searches. 

Thanks in advance, as I feel like I’ve awaken in a speaker dystopia. 😧

    With no budget listed I’m gonna go with KEF R3, KEF LS50, Elac DBR62, various Genelec models, Kef Q350, Yamaha HS-8 or HS-5

    Also look for Erin’s Audio Corner.

    I also highly recommend the Topping e50 and PA5. I use them with the KEF R3 for my main stereo listening.

    Apparently Topping recently came out with the DM7 as a multichannel DAC if you want surround sound but then you’ll need a few amps.

    Honestly you should also look into acoustic room treatment. Properly done it can improve any speaker. When not done, it can potentially make any speaker sound shitty.

      Found the other audiophile.

      With you mentioning Logitech in the post, I’m not sure you actually want “audiophile” speakers or just ‘good computer speakers’, but the above list gets my audiophile thumbs up. I’d throw Klipsch The Sevens and The Nines into the mix too.
