Adam S4A's

Not appropriate for all situations though, so considering some JBL LSR 305's + a sub for casual listenings

Vintage mini bookshelf communistic Tesla fullrange speakers. Hooked up to homemade PCL86 tube amp. Sounds fantastic, found them for 20 usd

/g/ fucking lied to me. HS8s are amazing, I did end up getting the woofer though,

hi /speaker/, I need a good pair of powered speakers for around ~600 USD or less for the pair, considering all of

airmotiv 6s
vanatoo T1
used like new yamaha HS8
or going cheaper and getting the LSR305s + a good sub

are there any other good options that should be considered at that price range? Thanks, leaning more towards the airmotivs but the convenience of the vanatoo is tempting and that 8" yamaha woofer must be nice. Mostly going to be nearfield.

>>57559094
What speaker?

>>57559000
I heard a lot of people say that HS8 don't need a sub. I'm still torb between HS7 and HS8. HS8 are €259 here.

>>57558634
it probably falls apart

Speakers are CA-3550 while the subwoofer is the sub woofer from a CA-3000 not bad little setup great sound quality decent bass

>>57557600
they are excellent

I'm currently running KEF LS50 paired with Marantz Amp1 and Kimber Kable 4PR Cables and couldn't be happier

i have some new speakers in the mall though which will be my first major comparison to the KEF's at home. it's Dynaudio Emit M20's which are very highly rated at the moment with a lower pricetag.. i'm probably the first one to make a comparison between the two

>>57558925
you miss out on all the potential this speaker has by placing it so close to a wall :'(

LSR305 + Scarlet 2i2 meme.
As a non-audiophile it's my final form.

>>57559887
don't get a sub if you don't plan to spend over 400€ on it.

speakers from above the chamber size of atleast 30cm in a cubicle, don't need a subwoofer at all because they most can produce subbass themselves, WHEN placed correctly with enough air to breath.

a sub is only beneficial to either extend the subbass to its deepest potential because that's what a hi-fi sub is mostly used for, to complement your speakers, not overpower them. or create a movie theater like earthquake

>>57560876
you don't need a subwoofer with this speakers?
What happens with music with heavy bass like techno , hip hop or others??¿

Really can't understand that , why people have studio monitors for listen music without sub. Anyone can ELI5 please?

I need a set of 2.0 speakers.
Last time I had some back in 2000s.
It's been 16 years - are there any good budget speakers without wires and xboxhueg power adapter?

>>57559000
can someone can explain how you can spend $350/per or $700 total for powered speakers?

I mean, for $700, you can buy a decent set of used speakers plus an amp, and get much more low range and better response and efficiency

/g/, what do you think of these ones for my new cheap build?

>>57561186
but old speakers look outdated and not hip like kef ls50's

>>57561276
but towers look fukken sicc

>>57561385
yeah, and overkill for small basements and dorms

>>57561186
who cares about the fact that they are powered?

>>57561394
my point was that there's better price:perf out there

there's a ton of used bookshelves with probably similar size and response as the HF8s for probably 1/4th the price

I can understand paying $700 for room-filling speakers, but $700 bookshelves, especially powered, seems silly

>>57561435
>internal amp breaks, speakers are garbage
>woofer cone breaks, speakers are garbage
plus, less things you can do with powered speakers

>>57561394
yeah but who uses speakers in a dorm anyways

Infinity Reference Ones with a small SMSL-50 Desktop Amp

>>57557420
Soffit mount or freestanding?

>>57557600
The 2-way coax models aren't that good or interesting. Actually, 2-way coax is extremely hard to do well, many conflicting requirements that need to be piled together.

>>57560970
>speakers from above the chamber size of atleast 30cm in a cubicle
Truism doesn't quite agree with high efficiency woofers/low efficiency subs.

>>57561503
That can be turned around: you can buy used speakers of all types.
Or DIY and save more money, at the expense of time.
>breaks
Fix it.
>less things you can do with powered speakers
The only thing you'd really want to do is use is an active crossover or have the ability to apply external crossover filters.

>>57561072
Some options:
> they are broke after buying the monitors for another 2 subs
> these people prefer a linear frequency thing and subwoofers are too hard to tune
> for listening with an adequate volume down to 55hz, monitors do fine
> hip hop techno niggzorz use logitech equipment and bass rolls any day

Maybe because it's enough and they can't afford it. Monitor subwoofers are very overpriced and expensive, monitors who can <40 HZ are too.

Eagle Arion 70w system. Cost me $50 at Microcenter. Plays well with no crackles and the bass is nice.

My headphones are all Skullcandy as well. So these should give you an inkling as to my audio-phile status. Or lack there of.

These powered by a 1972 Kenwood KA-2002A. I need to build another sub really bad, headphone bass doesn't cut it after hearing and feeling sub 20hz from a real sub.

Currently using these Infinity RS6000. Gotta say they're the best speakers I've owned so far, not that its saying much. For the $100 I paid though they're bredddy gud.

Driving them with a 1980s Yamaha A-1000 integrated and using a Sony SEQ-555ES for eq'ing movies and shit.

>>57563891
well the whole room isn't pictured everything else isn't total shit and acoustic treatment is only nessesery in small cramped spaces I just go with spotify because its easy and you do realise what lossy means you retard

>>57563891
>poorfag detected

>>57563927

Oh really? Because everything in the frame is definitely shit. In-wall A/C that's 40+ years old, a desk that was picked up for free off the curb somewhere, peripherals that look like they came with a $200 compaq PC 10 years ago, missing blind slats, poverty tier outdoor furniture with trash everywhere, carpet that hasn't been cleaned in a decade, and a dirty microfiber couch or chair or something.

And I guarantee your space is cramped and needs acoustic treatment looking at the way your desk is smashed against the wall.

Your priorities are fucked and your life is a miserable disaster. Get out.

Not him but Focal's are god tier speakers

>>57563960
its not cramped and im renting half of those things are out of my control not spending thousands to upgrade someone elses house but stay mad poor fag listening to music in low fidelity

>>57563960
and whats wrong with he peripherals if I like them and they work no need to upgrade

>>57564004

I wasn't talking about the amps or speakers.

Seriously look at that crack den he lives in, am I the only one that can see it?

>>57564018

Rent a better place then you idiot. Your place looks like a chinese hovel.

>Seriously look at that crack den he lives in, am I the only one that can see it?
I can't lie, I'm agree for this one

>>57564077
its 50 per week and im in Australia cant get anyware for cheaper also it has NBN so 100 down

>>57564234

>50 abo shillings a week.
>Weekly

Damn, no wonder it looks so poverty tier. It is. Are you poor for real anon or just used to living that way?

We pay low to average rent for my mediocre house in the US and it's $1200/month. I make lower class wages and live with 2 others.

>>57563939

>>57564319
na not poor for real just like the cheapness and it helps with saving money also the house has a pool and it comes in handy for summer

>>57564319
and I love the NBN its so fast not many houses in Australia have it

I rarely if ever use speakers, I'm more of a headphones guy.
