I just received a pair of Spendor SA-200 actives. They only cost me $600.00 for the pair and are awesome. Yes they are 5 years old, but I am happy with the purchase.
Active monitors, 3k used, great nearfield sound
I currently use Mackie HR 824 MkII's in my computer setup. I'm basically happy with them, but have made some downstream improvements that I think could be better revealed with superior speakers.
I'm seeking quality active monitors that cost roughly 3k used, offer superior nearfield listening, and don't go all that low (I have the Mackies set for 47 Hz because the downstairs neighbors hear too much thump at 37 Hz). I prefer a slightly warm sound and certainly not anything too clinical.
Can anyone offer suggestions?

For this amount the best on is Event Opal nearfield monitors. These professional monitors would sound more like high-end speakers. event opal |
Focal XS. There's nothing better for the money, it's a purchase you'll never regret. http://www.xs-focal.com/ |
Studio monitors-The mackies use a passive radiator to force extra bass. the weird location of the passive sends low end everywhere too, so I imagine it vibrates your walls at home easily. To know what you are ready for depends on how you feel about the midrange of the Mackies. Do you want it clearer or do you want what the Mackies are with less low end? Brad |
