Begging for all the Lemmy Audiophiles recommendations on computer speakers! (sh.itjust.works)

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. 😧

I’ve had a set of KRK Rokit 8s for 10 years now and they’re great. I’ve had them absolutely cranked for some parties and they haven’t showed any signs of giving up. Perhaps not the best studio monitors out there but the price to performance ratio combined with how long they’ve lasted makes them one of the better audio purchases I’ve made.

I've owned 5's and 6's and used 8's and 10's, as you say there are probably objectively "better" monitors but for some powered speakers that are of a high quality both sound and build wise I have no qualms recommending them.
