Help on speaker selection 2.0/2.1 ! M-Audio Studiophile Av40/ Audioengine 2

[RaiGal]

Hello guys,
I am a keen music listener and I enjoy listening to all kinds of music but especially jazz, classical and rock. I am searching for a new pair of speakers which I will connect to my desktop computer.

I have noticed that most pc speakers offer poor sound quality and I would love to go for something better.

For the time being I am looking into something relatively compact but I am also trying to look into bigger, 2.1 sound systems but no more than that.

My budget is relatively low, 70-110$ but at this period everyone struggles over money and I can't afford any more than that unfortunately.

I found some nice monitor speakers and I would love to hear your opinion:

1.Behringer Monitor MS16
2.Edifier R1600Τ
3.M-Audio Studiophile Av40
4.Audioengine 2
5.Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 (Used set at this time!)

I know they are not professional speakers, but as I said I am just a home user who just enjoys to listen to music!

Your help is much appreciated,thank you!

That is a tough budget! Challenge accepted.

My vote goes to Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Computer Speakers. You can get them new for $150 at Best Buy or $100 on eBay.

These look very nice, reviews are very encouraging as well!

Just to make things even more challenging I have to add Edifier R2000T speakers to the list as well as Q Acoustics 2020, which if I am not mistaken is a pair so I will have to get some decent amp along with them!

That selection is not too bad, I have few notes:
From this list my choice would be:
3.M-Audio Studiophile Av40

I own Behringer MS16 at work - and they are not bad, but a far cry from my home pc monitors - JBL LSR2325p
I got them at $167/each

I want to add a correction here,my budget was referring to pounds, in US dollars that would be 110-190$.

If the av40's sound anything like the av30's, stay very far away. The av30's are high up on the list of worst speakers I've ever had the displeasure of listening to.
