I have the Quads and the Audioengine and the Quads are Way better in my opininon. Also some of the pro model Dynaudios might be pretty good. I've had my eye on powered speakers too. The Quads are nice and very very nice looking the finish on them is awesome.
Which active speaker for under $650.
Hello everyone,
Wanted to get your recommendation for active speakers under $650. I know you all going do ask why. Ease of flexibility, space constraint and finally money issues. I used to own green mountain europas and do understand that won't get near that sound quality for the amount I am going to spend.
What is out there?
Here are list of contenders so far:
Audioengine a5
Quad 12L
Are there any others?

Look into the self-powered KRK Rokit series, whichever would fit your room size and budget. These are very musical speakers, not edgy like many inexpensive monitors. The founder of KRK is an audiophile. Note that prices are per speaker, so the closest to your budget is the 8" 2-way Powered 8 G2, which is bi-amped with a total of 90 watts rms per cabinet. I've heard 'em and they sound excellent. You can hear them in the pro audio section of any Guitar Center. You may want to bring your own source material to audition or you'll probably be stuck auditioning with obscenely compressed mp3's of dance mixes. |
