jrhooper1, there are some things to watch out for with powered loudspeakers.

Edifier doesn't have subwoofer out on most of their speakers. Sonos do not have Bluetooth, and only their sound bars offer optical input. Kanto, PSB, and Paradigm tends to lift their treble (though you can fix that with basic tone controls). Audio Engine applies limiting and compression artifacts at high volumes. Nothing from Klipsch or B&W is neutral and is tuned for seniors with hearing loss, by seniors with hearing loss. Most of these models don't offer USB inputs, though some offer TOSLINK/RCA/3.5mm/phono/Apple AirPlay.

My Kanto Yumi has worked fine for the last 7 years, but it's probably too big to use on most desktops.
