One of the most popular system setups today is for the desktop. With the PC and streaming media content that can be access today online, its no wonder why audio users are beginning to use their PC for music and entertainment. This why we decided to focus on designing speakers for desktop use.
Small and large Systems
When it comes to setting up a system, one question comes to mine, do you want to go small or big? For the average user and listener in a small room (10’ x 8’ ft) we recommend using small tri-path amplifiers (t-amps). With the right speakers, you can get enough sound to fill a small room using a moderate power t-amp (from 15 to 25 watts per channel).
For larger rooms and more serious sound, we recommend using a full size AB class amplifier like the Alesis RA150 or the Behringer A500, both have enough power to driver very large speakers in a larger room (12 x 10 or larger).
What involves Setting up a desktop System?
To setup a desktop speaker system, you need basically need 4 components (3 if you are using a amplifier that has a built-in DAC).
1. Passive desktop speakers (depending on room size).
2. Amplifier (one with a DAC, preferred).
3. A DAC (digital-to-analog converter) if your selected amplifier don’t have one.
4. A good pair of reference headphones.
Tri-path Amplifiers
A tri-path Amplifier (class T) is a small stereo device that can convert digital sound to a analog signal. Most T-amps are build around the TA2020 chip. These systems were originally design to be used in small audio equipment.
The schematics of the tri-path uses just the minimal parts and components to create the audio signal, while bypassing main components that is often found in larger or full size amplifier. This means that they only use the nessceary component to get decent or good sound. They can offer great sound (depending on brand and model), but if you want best sound performance possible, use a full size audio grade amplifier.
These tiny amplifiers are designed to drive small speakers. Even though they are small in size they have a fairly amount of wattage (from 10 - 50 watts) to power small speakers, while larger t-amps can power large bookshelf size speakers.

This tri-path amplifier features a built-in USB DAC (digital-to-analog converter)
that can be connected to a PC for analog sound.
These are full size amplifiers design to be used with large speakers and external
components like CD player, turntables etc. Since these amplifiers has built-in pre-amp
components, you don’t need to buy a separate pre-amp. These type of amplifiers are
used by professionals and individuals that deal with audio monitoring in professional
environments.

What Type of Loudspeakers I Need
With or Without Subwoofer?
If your setup is going to involve composing music, we would recommend using a pair
of high quality Studio Monitors or large bookshelf speakers with a flat response.
If you have sufficient room, this would be the first recommendation. When you are
mixing or mastering tracks (music) having a subwoofer is not necessary.
They only time you would need a subwoofer would be for playback (after a track has
been mixed) or for creating low freqerucy content that is usually found in movies
and multi-channel tracks. If you are going to be watching multi-media content such
as movies, films or gaming, a subwoofer would be needed.
Monitor Speakers
If you don't have room for a subwoofer or if you amplifier don't have a subwoofer
output jack, a pair of mid-size 2-way monitors with 8" drivers or a 3-way with tweeter,
mid range and a low frequcey 8" or 10" driver, that will do the trick if you can't
use a subwoofer.
