Hi, currently I have some klipsch promedia 2.1 pc speakers on my computer. And these are what I use to fill my whole room with sound. I'm 16 so I just need to worry about my room. So on my desk are my computer speakers but behind my desk is a dresser. Im thinking about buying the Klipsch kb 15 bookshelf speakers for the top of the dresser. I already have a receiver, and if these speakers don't have enough bass I have a sub woofer I could hook up. The main reasons I'm thinking about buying them is because I can only use my current speakers when i turn on my computer (its a pain to unplug aux cord from down below). And My desk is underneath a loft bed so the speakers don't spread the sound across the room to well. So my question is would I notice the difference if I bought these new bookshelf speakers. In terms of sound, loudness, clarity. BTW I would be keeping the computer speakers as well. Thanks!
The kirsch Promedia speakers should be fine while sitting in front of the computerbut if your trying to create a separate music system while not sitting in front of the computer that you will use separately your idea is probably a good way to gobut if your thinking of combining the two to play all at once not a good idea.the reason being is that the promedia speakers and KB 15 speakers are really not compatible with one another. what happens is you get cross talk between the speakers that creates voids and peakson some frequencies the speakers will be compatible and will complement one another but on other frequencies the wave form from each speaker will interfere with the wave form coming from the other speaker creating distortion and cancelations of the wave formso you will get uneven results doing things that way.
Id say using actual bookshelf speakers and a receiver is a step up from near-field desk PC speakers, yes.
The KB15s should do pretty well, especially in a normal bedroom. You can avoid the need for a sub by using speakers with larger woofers. Generally, 8 will do in normal rooms, and 6 is probably enough for small rooms.
