I recently upgraded to a larger standing desk with wheels. My goal is to have a "mobile" battle station where everything sits on or clamps under the desk, so all I need to do is connect the extension to the wall. Right now, I'm looking to upgrade my audio situation. I currently have a pair of Mackie 5" studio monitors. They sound decent enough, but I'm thinking it would be fun to more channels. I'm considering the following options:
-
Add another set of Mackies and use them as center and sub
-
Add a 2.1 system and use the 2 as the center
-
Find a small (around 12"x12") AVR and do a 3.1 system
-
Use 2 small amps and passive speakers that I can mount under the desk
-
Use an off the shelf 5.1 computer speaker system
Can anyone provide input on my stupid, stupid idea? Does anyone make a small surround or mutli-channel AVR? Can I get recommendations for small or low profile subs? I'm planning on mounting the sub to the lower support rail at the back of the desk, or build some kind of platform it will rest on. If I go with the 5.1 in a box route, can I get some recommendations for good brands and models to look at?
