Hi all,
I'm pretty new to audio equipment, the best piece I got at the minute is Philips Fidelio x2HR headphones so that can probably tell you a lot already about my knowledge on this topic (hint: almost non-existent)
I'm looking to up my audio game a bit, mainly for video games and especially movies on my desktop PC (sometimes music listening). The room I'm in is quite small at approx. 4m x 2.5m (13.12ft x 8.20ft). Possibly switching this equipment between PC and TV sometimes if possible?
Anyway
I've been researching non-stop for the last 3 days straight but find it hard understanding all the connections and the separate equipment I'd need. I think I understand some of it but can't fully see the endgame for me.
So I've looked into some active powered stuff as passive equipment just seems like it would be too much of an investment. The active powered stuff that is looking like the best is something from Kali, like the Kali LP-UNF or Kali LP-6 v2 but here's the part I don't really understand :
people mention that you don't need an external DAC or an audio interface for these speakers to connect to certain subwoofers such as the Kali WS 6.2 but I don't really understand how do I connect such a combination to my PC? I don't understand how some are able to connect the Kali LP-UNF to a subwoofer and what implications there are for loosing any quality by doing so?
Am I correct in understanding you can't just connect these to any subwoofer such as the BK Electronics subwoofers but only to certain ones with passthrough capabilities such as the WS 6.2? Would I be able to go for a cheaper subwoofer with an audio interface?
I'm quite lost in all of this as I'm looking for the simplest, most elegant solution to two speaker system with a sub for both PC & TV for mainly movie watching and video games. Am I correctly thinking that the Kali speakers would be best for this? Would the most elegant solution be to simply get an audio interface (but which one, does it even matter?) and then not have to worry at least for the LP-6 v2s? Would I be able to connect the LP-UNFs to such an interface as well even though they don't have the XLR output? In this scenario would LP-UNFs or LP-6 v2s be better?
All and any help is much appreciated, I'm sure you can tell I'm a complete newbie and I apologise for questions that may seem stupid but I'm genuinly lost right now
