In regards to speakers, I found over time I rarely use speakers and are thus happy with a rather basic set (maybe not quite as basic as OP). Headphones is where I prefer to put the majority of my audio budget.

Totally fair, just surprising that one would splurge on literally everything else but not a decent pair of speakers.

Although it looks like OP does know what he is talking about and gave options for higher quality speakers if one wanted them.
