Audio Decent speakers under 2k?

Possibly nothing, save up a little more buddy or look into the used marketplaces.

I'm currently using some old model F&D 2.0 speakers (which I bought used for 300 lol). They are loud but don't have any bass.

Was looking at 2.1 speakers but there are many options (F&D, Edifier, Philips etc).

I'm looking for decent bass and clear sound. My setup is in my hall which is medium sized, but I usually don't crank up my volume anyways (using my IEMs, I rarely push past 30 volume).

What would be a decent choice?

For 2k you wont really get any genuine upgrades over the F&D , I think you will need to extend budget to about 9k and then you have options from Edifier(1280DB) , Swan (M10) & JBL (104 , has gone as low as 4.5k during FK Big Billion Sale). You can look if anyone are selling the above in used market for lower prices

Swans M10 is around 5k after discount on amazon although it is still out of your budget.

Non detachable power cord to the base is the biggest problem with entry level Swans.
I had a Swan M1 years ago, it sounded decent for the price.
But I am completely spoiled by very expensive setups. In 2018 planned to upgrade from my humble JBL mid range system, within a year I moved up to Focal ( after dabbling with few others, loosing thousand upon thousand) and ended up with a Barefoot system.
I would sincerely suggest you to save up some more and buy something decent.. Logitech Z623s are excellent for the price. I don't have them, but bought it for my in-laws and listened to them. They are available for less than 100 EUR. Unless you're obsessed like me, they will serve you for years.
The next step up gonna cost you a lot more.

Get either the Creative Pebble (2.0) or the Creative Pebble Plus (2.1).

The Pebble costs under 2K INR
The Pebble Plus costs under 3K INR

Both have fantastic clarity in terms of movies, gaming and music. And looks awesome too!

I have Philips MMS 6080B. Great set with punchy bass and clarity.
Substitute for my Bose WAVE III when I need Bluetooth.
Also bought Obage tower speakers over F&D.
At 4K+ the performance speakers really start.

Check olx for maudio av40 they might be available for 3.5put them on a stand and they will rival systems costs many folds

If you were using 2.0 speakers, then 2.1 will definitely feel like an update, get F&D 2.1 speaker those are available for 2k. If you can spend a little more go for Obage brand.

sorry if this is hijack

i am exactly in the similar situation as op, had a Rs300 speakers by xcess that died on me today. looking for speakers under 3k now

the thing with 2.1 speaker is, i dont know where to put the subwoofer on my pc table. I have used 2.0 small speaker my whole life which very conveniently blended in with monitor in the midddle.

so far after reading comments here, "Creative" and "Obage" seems like good brands to get the speakers from. What are your suggestions people?

Is single tower speaker good for gaming? Will i lose the directional stero effect of 2 speakers ? Obage suggested me 525x based on my room size.

Would you recommend a single mini tower with 2.1 support for gaming?

I recently got the pebble plus for 3k in a lightning deal(could've got it for 300 less if I had a Bob card). They are too damn good for the price. My room is pretty small so that might be a factor but overall I'm very satisfied with it.

If you're planning to buy this wait for the lightning deal they go on sale very frequently.

Actually your budget of 2k is a bit tight so there aren't many decent speakers that will be available I guess. But I am using a JBL Flip 2 Bluetooth speaker and that is really amazing. It's not big and it's pretty loud you can easily listen to it if you are in another room while the speaker is placed in some other room nearby. The volume at max does not creak and the shrills are very low. Only problem is that it is priced around 5k. But trust me it's really amazing. The pairing with smartphones and other devices is fairly hassle free and it connects automatically after you switch the Bluetooth buttons on. The range is also pretty decent and works well one floor of a 3BHK apartment. Battery is good too and if you play continuously on full charge it will last for a little over 4 hours. The speaker uses a standard Micro-USB cable and can be plugged into a computer USB port or power adapter for charging. Another one, I could suggest you is the JBL Go 2 and it’s closer to your budget as well a bit over 2k. The JBL G0 is most suitable because of its compact size. The device is compact and has a 3.5mm jack for auxiliary connectivity and a micro-USB port for charging. The battery is really good for its compact size with a 730mAh battery and lasts for about four hours on a charge, and takes about two hours and 30 minutes to fully charge. The audio quality is bass-focused. The JBL Go 2 is the perfect travel companion and also of course easily finds space in your backpack without any trouble. Best part, it’s water resistant. It can literally be submerged into 1m of water for upto 30 minutes.

The Edifier XM2PF drops below 2k during sales. Keep an eye out for that. I have one and it's quite good for a smallish room.
