i have the z5500's i edit audio with them but like u said iv never used studio monitors. anyway, what monitors are u getting?
some HiFi speakers are active arn't they?
I've heard that monitors can produce an unpleasant sound for listening due to them producing the music perfectly, which is not great for the music enhusiast.
i'm not. thats why i'm writing this thread.
I was looking at these Acoustic Energy Aego M Speakers - TrustedReviews
-or-
Amazon.com: Harman Kardon Soundsticks II 3-Piece Plug and Play Multimedia Speaker System: Electronics
Them speakers you posted, Aego M will be good, Acoustic Energy don't make bad speakers, try and find a bad review, seriously, go ahead. They won't however be flat, or sound as good as some of there better stereo setups.
If you feel your HiFi (not monitor) setup needs a Sub (unless you're using bookshelfs), then you're either a bass junky, generally (generally ) or you're hifi speakers suck.
No Hi-Fi speakers that i know of are active (powered) except subwoofers obviously. Monitor speakers will deliver the sound as it was intended to be delivered, if its a bass heavy song you will indeed be delivered a bass heavy sound. And if its not - it won't be. Understand ?
I will make one exception, there are one or two makes that do make good subwoofers that will still keep your bass end of music taught and incontroll with out being overpowered. Like REL, for example.
Thanks.
I know them tiny little boxes are 'satellites'
On the grand scale of things they won't be good, no, you're right.
They will suck comepared to any monitors or floorstanders, like i said 'they will not sound as good as there stereo setups, however'
But, for his budget and in comparison to PC speakers there are far beond it.
Instead of simply saying 'are these good' ask you're self, are they good for what they are and compared to other products ina similar price range.
O...look, 9/10 > Acoustic Energy Aego M Speakers - TrustedReviews
'' For both value and sound quality the Acoustic Energy Aego M System is almost beyond reproach" What HiFi January 2006''
They won 2006 what hi-fi awards for best Pc speakers under £150
Comeon, i said 'That *I* know of' --- i DID NOT say they don't do active hi-fi speakers.
No offence, but you need to come out of you're perfect audio world sometimes and just say 'hey ! for £100 thats a cracking sound system' Ignore them $10,000 electrostatic systems, ignore all these speakers with a frequency responce from 2 to 100,000hz and are accurate as +1/-1 DB Tolerences, and just think as someone that hasn't herd anything like that before - will they sound good. Stop confusing accurate,true sound, with the sound that many,many people like - Which are what Hi-Fi/Med-Fi/Low-Fi speakers are for, whatever terminology you use.
you insulting me now?
