Omega makes good speakers but has terrible service .
Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)
What small, nearfield (3 feet) desktop speakers do you use or like?
I'm looking to fit out my desk with something good but not expensive.
Music tastes are varied and I don't care about deep bass. I'd rather have good mids, highs.
Spending is capped at $500 max. Open to used, new. Would power these with Adcom separates, 60wpc.
Elac? Ascend? KEF? What would you advise?

Honestly, my old DCMs give me 90% of what I think is awesome, snare, piano, vocals, and the 'wrong' stuff is modest enough not to bug me. My old Tukans were good for me at under $400/pair. Most ADSs I hear give me most of what I like. I'm sure the $1500 speaker can do it better, but maybe not. They give me more base, but the high end is too subdued. Or they soundstage is super big, but the sensitivity sucks for my 60 watt amp. ALways a trade off. |
Check out Orb Audio.I used to have some along with a little sub for under my desk.https://www.orbaudio.com/ |
