Cats are gonna cat.
I posted this in the PC parts picking thread in SH/SC but someone suggested I might get better responses in here. From a glance at the thread so far, looks as though Audioengine A2's may be the go for me? Or is there a better pair of passives I can get for my price range since I already have an amp I can use? Copy & paste below:

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I am after a pair of bookshelf style speakers for my PC. In the past, I was using crappy Logitech 5.1 type surround speakers, but lately I have been using headphones instead. I bought a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD400s powered through a little USB amp (can't remember exactly what it is but I want to say it's a µDac?).

After using decent headphones, it sounds so crappy going back to the Logitechs when I want to use speakers. Anyway, I have a Yamaha amp sitting around (can't remember the model, but paid around $400 for it about 4 years ago for my home theatre and have since upgraded) I can use to power passive speakers if they're better within my price range. This is for music (mainly metal) and games and I'm looking for quality over power output/volume. I want to spend around $200, but don't mind spending an extra $50 or even $100 if it's a huge step up in quality.

Ninja edit: Should mention I am in Australia if that makes a difference.
