Undecided about which good quality sound bar for a M4 Mac Studio

[AlaskaMoose]

While I do Airplay my music playlists in a Mac to a Yamaha receiver and a set of powered speakers in the living room, I most often listen to my music played out of my computer to the computer monitor. This is OK, but I would like to add more punch to this music since the monitor speakers aren't very powerful. This work computer sits in my work room at a distance from the living room where the receiver is located.

What I would like to do is buy perhaps a soundbar or maybe a set of computer speakers, but have no idea if the soundbar or speakers should be Bluetooth or something else. The Mac does have a headphone port at the back, and so does the computer monitor. The monitor is a BenQ PD 27305S 5k, connected to one of the Thunderbolt 5 ports of the Mac M4. The monitor itself can be used as a powered hub for additional monitors in a daisy chain, etc., and in addition to a headphone jack. it has several USB ports for connecting USB devices to the monitor.

What would be the most practical for me to use, powered USB speaker or soundbar, or maybe Bluetooth, and do you have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

I use a set of Altec Lansing speakers from a Dell PC that I bought in 1996. The sub plugs into a wall outlet and feeds power to the two desktop speakers, one of which plugs into the Studio's headphone jack to feed audio the system. It works great. It has a couple of ferrite cores to attenuate hum. You probably could find a similar system for $10 at a thrift store. Good luck!
