Goodmans Maxim, from the 60s.
You can just about find a good pair for $500.

Best Desktop Speakers under $500
Will be used mostly for listening to music/podcasts while I work. I will not be getting a sub right now since I'm in an apartment so that is something to keep in mind.
I enjoy nice aesthetics so if they look nice or come in a color other than black, that is a plus for me.

Hello, I think you should go with the PSB AM3s for $399. If you can find the AM5s used that would be your best bet. They retail for $599. They are powered and have several inputs including a phono stage. Also has Toslink, Bluetooth, and line in. And just in case you do want better bass it has subwoofer out. One and done powered speaker system. Plus, All Paul Barton speakers are really good. I heard them at this store in the Chicagoland area: https://holmaudio.com/ this store will let you try them before you buy them in your home. |
I have the Vanatoo Transparent Zeros and for the price I don't think you can do much better. The smaller Audioengine and Kanto powered speakers look nice but they really need a sub to help with the lower frequencies. The Vanatoo's really have an advantage with the passive bass radiators. Highly recommend. |
