Advice for killer desktop speakers
Several have mentioned other types of studio monitors. They all have their benefits for mixing engineers, but the sound isn't always as nice as a set of audiophile speakers. Studio Monitors are usually designed for mixing engineers that have a very different requirement (need to pull out and identify individual instruments for a good mix). That doesn't always equal a pleasant sound (or as pleasant). The Acoustic Energy AE1 are some very excellent active speakers, but they are basically four times as much as Audioengine 5+. I think the good old Yamaha studio monitors sound very natural as well. The HS5 are at the same price point of Audioengine 5+. |
I enjoy the AVI ADM9.1. Kinda big for a desktop, but not bad. DAC, Subwoofer out, DSP crossover before the amp(s), A/D conversion. Great guy at Overture too. Newest version: http://www.overture-audio.com/product_lines/avi/html/ADM_9RSS.html |
