I was researching on for some budget VFM 2 channel stereo Speakers for Desktop PC use & came across Dayton Audio B652 & that to for just 40 USD

Suppose if I get it which amp is suitable for it?
Are there any similar priced quality speakers available in India?

If there are any VFM Powered Speakers like M Audio AV40 or Audio Engine A2 then do let me know.

Thanks & Regards
 
Thanks but the cost of these lured me into getting it now.
2 yrs down the line have plans to have decent hifi stereo setup something like swans D1080 IV or M audio av40 or audio engine a2.

Right now very less budget as upgrading PC.
If I get something under 5k (something like dayton + small t amps) which is highly impossible.

I 'm aware of it...
But can someone explain the pro & con's of passive, powered & active speakers

I can even think of vfm powered speakers at the moment.
Else will get some Edifier under 3k & save up for something better.
Thanks
 
@sandynator :
active speakers -
pros:
- have the amp matched to the speaker and the amp is built-in.
- compact, don't need elaborate racks etc.
- simple - just plug-n-play!
cons:
- not "up-gradable" - if you want to change only the speaker or amp separately.
- require independent power supply

passive speakers
pros:
- flexible in terms of choosing amp.
- wide range
- normally cheaper
- up-gradable - you can change just the speaker or, just the amp.
don't need extra power supply.
cons:
- need racks etc
- matching of speakers & amps must be decent - however for this lot of advice is available online.
- need calibration

To add further, get a set of good speakers; normally you would change the amp (electronics), the speakers usually do have a very long life.
