Warning received and appreciated. I should check if those reliability problems are common before diving in.
I find it weird the same exact set has been Logitech's flagship for so long while they continue pushing out lots of new cheaper configurations. At the same time other computer audio manufacturers haven't seemed to top it, either. The wealth of inputs is the biggest thing setting it apart.
Thanks to never owning or listening to a better pair of speakers for an extended amount of time, I really don't feel I currently need improved definition in the high to mid range for my small living space. Though they're inexpensive, there's no particular fault I can hear in my Behringer monitor pair other than that they don't go low. The decision to go for a music production brand instead of a computer audio brand seems to have been a good one in this case. Actually, round here it seems common for Mac users to use studio monitors for their desktop music listening. Genelec is a particularly well-liked brand, decidedly more upscale though.
I already considered going separate components before grabbing my current setup. There are several used sales channels in reach, but their overall volume is probably 1/30 of eBay's. If I just decided what I wanted and waited for it, it would take forever. If I looked at all ads and picked up the first thing that fits what I need, I'd need to do a *ton* of research to know what's what, and how much I should pay for it. I know next to nothing about audio, audio gear, their prices etc. I have no sense of how fast they depreciate.
