Hi, I have come here because I am new to the high-end audio scene and I'm looking for some help on building a 2.1 system in an approximately $500 budget that I can later expand to 5.1 when I have more money to allocate to my audio desires. I'm used to the garbage PC speakers that I have and the no better speakers that my friends use. Music is important to me, and my music deserves to be played through something amazing, but I'll be using these speakers for movies too.
I'm confused about the whole active-powered vs passive-powered speakers. I understand that I'll need a receiver for passive speakers, but I don't understand which solution is more to my advantage.
I'm considering a DIY solution as well, but I don't know how economical this would or wouldn't be, especially since I don't have woodworking tools. I'm looking for some advice on this issue.
What solutions can you recommend? For speakers, I have been considering a pair of the Behringer 2030P. Is this a good choice? What other options are there?
