Options for desktop speakers for PC ($500ish AUD)

Purchasing AUS/NZ

My current speakers are dying (an old set of logitechs) and want to get something that will sound great for music, also EOFY means better chance of a good deal. It will be running from my PC with a Xonar STX. Considering the Edifier S2000mkiii, Kanto Yu4 and AudioEngine A5+. Any other good options or setups at this budget?

A pair of JBL 305 studio monitors, roughly $400-500 kangaroo dollaroos.

Better than all the ones you listed.

I'll have a look at them. Do they connect straight up? Also do you know if they have the option for adding a subwoofer in future?

Yes.

Not directly to the speakers, but thats typically not how you connect a subwoofer to studio monitors anyway, so not a problem.

Good choices, Zee's is better, however if you have them within 2 feet of your head, you may notice some hiss. More than that and you won't hear it.

I will probably be in that range. Is that generally the case with most of these type of speakers, or specific to this model?
