Garbage drivers that have not been updated in years.

Get the presonus audiobox it beats the focusrite 2i2

I can't speak for the M-Audio speakers, but I love my LSR305s. Awesome purchase decision.

I agree with the other anons, whatever you do don't get the focusrite, you can find better nowadays.

Does it really?

Avoid m-audio products at all costs. They used to be good but are shit-tier now, even obscure chink brands like midiplus are doing better hw

>>54873558 yeah and it's cheaper only 100 USD online but it's 150 in retail

I've got an audiobox, the only problem I have with it is that the input gain and headphone volume knobs can be a bit hard to turn but i'm not constantly adjusting them anyway

Im really happy with my budget solution. I have behringer UMC202HD and Samson MediaOne monitors. Interface was actually bought mostly for recording and it's great. Tried scarlet first but ended up buying UMC202.

What does it do better than the 2i2?

Hello /speakers/. I have a few pairs of low tier passive speakers. I have been doing a lot of work on my car lately and I have a really shitty set of passives in my garage that are not doing the job because I live in florida and need 3 fans in order to stay cool and mosquito free while im working, so Im looking to trade them out for some passives I have. What I would like from you guys is a cheap and efficient stereo amp in order to power them, I notice the traditional lepai amp is out of stock.

And the one replacing it is also out of stock.

So, are there any other suggestions? I would like to pay $25 and under but I do want a linear amplifier without a shit ton of distortion that isn't due to my speakers being lower tier. Obviously I will compromise on the price but thats what I'm shooting for. Thanks.

I have the focus rite 2i2 which sounds like what you'd want since you'll be recording two things (and you may find it more natural to do both at the same time). Got it for $150 and for that price it's pretty worth. I just use with headphones so I can't speak to speaker functionality. The mic I use is an at 2035 and it's pretty magnificent for about $100

Wtf? Where's the headphone gain knob for the scarlett solo?

I can't speak for the 2i2, but I own the 18i20 which uses the same components and preamps, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
