Best Computer Speakers

Peachtree M24

We fell in love with the new Peachtree speakers from the first time we heard them. The Peachtree team is a group of veteran audiophiles who have also designed some amazing sounding DAC’s and amps, which happen to be an integral part of powered speakers. No other company on this list makes both separate amps and DAC’s which we feel really gives Peachtree a leg up. These have bigger and better speaker components than the competition and the best array of inputs we had seen. The Peachtree M24 sports a 1” soft dome tweeter with a 4” woofer with a rear-firing tuned port. These have far more bass than the 3” models above and are just slightly larger. For their price, you will not find a better-sounding computer speaker — nothing comes close! Available in Gloss Black and Bamboo.

Bonus Points — Phono Input, Bluetooth, subwoofer out, optical input, remote control included.

Peachtree M25

With the M25, we get into a speaker that can rival the sound of some great stereo speakers.  With the audio heritage behind the Peachtree team, you can tell they put everything they know about building amps, DAC’s and speakers into the M25. With this even bigger and better sound, comes a bigger speaker. The Peachtree M25 has a soft dome tweeter with a 5 ½” woofer. The woofer alone is wider than the boxes on some of the smaller models on this list, so as you might expect, the cabinet size gets bigger. But, that bigger woofer and cabinet deliver far more room-filling bass and impact than anything near their price. . If you are looking for a speaker that can serve as a great audio system too, the M25 should be at the top of your list. These were designed by audiophiles and you’ll know this when you first turn them on, they just sound fantastic! Available in gloss black or bamboo.

Bonus Points — Phono Input, Bluetooth, subwoofer out, optical input, volume control on the front, remote control included.

Kanto YU2

The Kanto YU2 has to be one of the neatest looking computer speakers out there. With their 4 distinctive color choices, they can either hide away or stand out on your desktop! We love the silk dome tweeter and its very smooth top end that is complemented by a 3” composite woofer. Bass output is great for a $220 pair of speakers so these will be a HUGE improvement over the speakers in your laptop or desktop. They actually can play pretty loud too, but the little 3” woofer will start to break up (as you would expect) if you push them super hard. But there is no question, for under $250 a pair, these are fantastic and like all Kanto’s, very musical.

Bonus Points — Beautifully finished, subwoofer out, tiny size.

Audioengine A2+ Wireless

Audioengine pretty much invented the computer speaker decades ago and their products have always sounded unbelievable for the price. The A2+ Wireless is a new version of their best selling A2+ with the A2+ Wireless adding Bluetooth. The bass you get out of this little speaker is very impressive. We think the combination of the Aramid fiber woofer and their slotted front port has a lot to do with their impressive deep bass performance. The Bluetooth receiver built into these has the longest range of any we have ever tested which means no dropouts until you get out in the yard. Available in matte black, gloss white and gloss red

Bonus Points — Great Bluetooth, subwoofer out, tiny size.

Audioengine HD4

Audioengine speakers are award-winning products. This one takes the same speaker drivers from the A2+, and puts them in a bigger and better-braced wood-veneer cabinet with upgraded amps that Audioengine precisely tuned. 

The difference is substantial. It has great bass and smooth sound for a medium-sized box. If you don’t want a larger speaker sitting on your desk, but you still want something that delivers better performance than a smaller-sized speaker, the HD4 is just the ticket. They have Audioengine’s best-selling DAC built-in — the Audioengine D1 24-bit headphone DAC/Amp, and they have an extended Bluetooth range up to 100ft! Plus, we like the headphone jack on the front panel with a volume knob. Available in Satin Black, or Walnut.

Bonus Points — Beautiful cabinets, Bluetooth AptX HD, subwoofer out, headphone jack, volume control on the front.

Klipsch R-41PM

Klipsch has been “waking the neighbors” with their powerful sound for decades. When they made a powered computer speaker, they wanted it to have the same characteristics. They used their patented 1" Aluminum LTS tweeters with their Square Tractrix Horns, coupled with their 4" Spun-Copper IMG Woofer. In a word, these guys rock! They are the largest speaker on this list and without question can rock the house better than anything else on the list. You can set them up naked to display the cool looking speaker components or use the included magnetic grills for a more discrete look. Only available in black.

Bonus Points — Phono Input, Bluetooth, subwoofer out, optical input, included remote control and the remote can control the subwoofer volume for fine-tuning.
