I'm an audiophile and have a decent system at home, but I would like fairly good quality audio at the office too. I don't exactly have a cube, but I do have other people around that I don't want to disturb either. I do have a headphone amp and a pair of Sennheiser HD-580s I bought a decade ago, but in the event I don't want these on my head (or perhaps a couple of people around me are out of the office, what should I use)?
Now, my real question is, are there some speakers designed for computer use (or really inexpensive home audio speakers) that will have a tighter area where the music can be heard so others aren't as bothered as they would with other products? Now, I know that I've been to Fry's electronics and they have some speakers that you really only can hear if you're standing under them, and while I don't think speakers like this are available with decent quality/price for office use, I wondered whether there was something that would be better.
As an example, I was thinking that perhaps a decent 2.0 system might not travel as much as a 2.1 system that is feeding the room with audio through its sub. Right now I have a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 set with the cable upgrade at home, and it actually seems to have a relatively narrow listening area, so I was considering their GMX A-2.1 or Ultra 2.0 package.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks very much!
