Does a 2.0 Floorstanding speaker setup for gaming, right next to the desk, even work/make sense at all?
Hi, the picture is from an old post from someone else, let's just pretend it's a 2.0 floor-standing speaker setup, right next to the desk, or slightly behind, as shown here.
I'm planning to use the WiiM Amp Ultra and connect it to my PC, I know this is not ideal for sitting right in front of the speakers (or too close to them) and not giving the speakers enough space against the wall or the desk.
But mainly concerned about if I'm doing FPS gaming, where I need to hear the footsteps' direction, would this setup mess those footsteps up? (Like unable to distinguish them), or any huge downsides that I'm not aware of besides it could sound crappy?
Again, I know this is not an ideal setup, but I just really wanted a nice set of speakers, and I'm using them whenever I'm on my PC as well.
