I prefer to "buy once, cry once" not upgrade every year. ![]() However, if there's a better passive system you all recommend failing in the same price range, I have no problems making the switch. I will also consider a passive setup with an integrated 2-channel amp with a built-in USB DAC or separate DAC but really am going for a minimized desktop setup. For me, I just want high quality sound that will make my music and gaming shine. Now all of these monitors are targeted to professional audio producers and accuracy/flat response is key to their work and I completely respect their skills. Right now, I won't be using a sub but could easily integrate my BG Radia SW-210. I am beyond confused now and just as I think I have decided, I read more reviews and change my mind. After reading way too many reviews, the common monitors people have written praise about are: Kali LP-6/IN-5, Genelec 8020D/8030C, JBL LSR 305P, Focal Shape 40/50, Adam A5X/A7X, and the Neumann KH 80/120. Since I haven't auditioned any yet, it's paralysis by analysis. I also like the simple one unit design, the ability to switch from headphones to monitors with a switch, excellent amp and DAC, and I am supporting a company with stellar CS that are making fairly priced products.Īctive Monitors ($1100 to $1600) - Now here's the problem. I need closed back due to the fact when I return to the office part time, I sit in a open-style floorplan and won't be able to use open back headphones.ĭAC/Amp ($400) - JDS Labs Element 2 - Amir had a great review and individual impressions have given it high praise. Lots of great reviews here and from Amir. Headphones ($500) - Dan Clark Audio Aeon RT closed. My budget can stretch from $2000 to $2500 for the headphones, DAC/amp, and active monitors. All music listening and gaming will be a nearfield experience and I won't be moving side to side or standing much at all. I will not be producing, mixing or creating music. I do like good, clean mid-bass, clear vocals and softer highs. Music wise, I listen to a lot of Motown, old school hip hop, R&B, rap and funny enough more and more country. The room is a spare bedroom and won't be treated as it will also serve for other hobbies. With this setup, I would like to put down the headphones eveyone once in while and listen to music via the monitors. I tend to sit at my desk for at least 8-9 hours a day with music in the background. I would like to replicate the sound and quality of the BG Radia's for my home office which will include PC gaming and listening to music while working. However, this means I haven't listened to anything new in the last 8 years. They are to me the perfect all-around sound for everything. This was my last home theater upgrade and absolutely love them for movies, TV, video games, and music.
