I need a new speaker since the one i have Harman kardon Soundstick III is old now and i had problem with it. I have been looking at this speakers my budget is around 500 euro for 2 speakers.
It should be conected to my Asus Xonar STX audiophile soundcard which usualy conect by RCA.
mostly to use with Music using Mp3 and Winamp and watching movies.

1 . KRK Rokit 5 for 310 euro 2 speakers


2. DALI ZENSOR 1
Get a pair of 2 speakers for 290 euro
Need Amp however
(this is Dali zensor 3 but look the same)


To conect to pc need an Amp to put the RCA cable through to my soundcard
Found this Amp Lepai Lepy LP-202A for 25 euro good to start with
this Japanesee guy show how

3. B&W Bowers and Wilkins 686 S2
I like B&W and i always wish i had a speaker from them now maybe i should
Price 500 euro for pair 2 speakers i have 500 euro so i can buy them.
My heart is set on B&W, I probably won't be happy until I Fulfilled that wish.

You can’t connect two amplifiers to each other. The B&Ws can connect directly to the Lepai.

I hope you're not relying on YouTube videos to determine sound qualities. You really need to get out and listen if possible.

Out of your selection, I'd pick DALI, but you should seriously consider also Q Acoustics and Wharfedale

Don't set yourself up for disappointment, as Pogre stated, audition the speakers that have your interest, the appearance of a speaker won't determine the quality of the sound, only you can determine that.

Then I highly suggest you need to rely on speakers measurements and know how to read them:

You will find many bookshelf speakers reviews on main Audioholics site as well as I like this guy:

What does that even mean? Is there a misunderstanding or are you saying you reported this thread to the president and contacted the NSA because of a perceived insult?

If so, that's actually pretty funny. No one has insulted you and I highly doubt neither the president nor the NSA are likely to care, lol.
