Active speakers pair for around 450$
« on: April 12, 2008, 04:01:12 PM »
Im interested in your opinions about a cheap pair of active speakers (450 tops), what would you take if you would need a pair?

More intended for playback, not monitoring; good sounding and XLR plugs are a must...

My next pair will be the Adam A7's...they sound FANTASTIC.
I have never hear the A5's, but I'd imagine they sound nice as well.

heard a lot of great things about these.

Would these work nicely for just plain music listening or are they really only ideal for monitoring/mixing? I'm looking for a sort of dual purpose set of speakers which I can use with my macbook at my workstation for day to day music listening and also to master my recordings... any thoughts?

I like Paradigm speakers.  Something like the small "Titan" bookshelf model sound pretty good.  Just run off an old school receiver.  Probably not as detailed as studio monitors, but a nice compromise, and that's what you're mixing for in the end anyway.
