Check out the Scansonic HD M5 BTLs. They are 10.5" high, 50w amp built in and use a sweet sounding ribbon/planar tweeter. They were $1000 but I believe will be marked down to $500 a pair soon.
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?

hilde45 (OP)Those mentions of Dyn excites remind me how much I loved the Dyn evoke 10. I know some are older models, but how do they differ? What did Dyn change in the bookshelves, to your knowledge? I haven’t heard the Evokes but the Excite line was the offshoot of the Audience 52SE.The 52SE was the first Dyn to eliminate the NASTY midbass hump they always used to boost low end in all their stand mount speakers.It also used the initial design for the Impedance correcting circuit to ease amp load & was the first to use the new base formula for tweeter coating that they have perfected today...IMO the Excite lineup from bottom to top is hands down the best affordable speakers Dynaudio ever made... |
I like the Vanatoo speakers. They always get good reviews and I have a pair for my desktop use.
