KEF LS50 + Marantz Amp1 and HifiMan HE-400i

this is my endgame. anything other than room treatment is overkill in my opinion

how much money did you spend on everything?

Some Crappy Behringer MS40 for Front left/right, and just recently I upgraded my surround channels into A couple of 6ohms 50w 3" AIWA with a T2020A lepai amp.

I also use a crappy Bomber 5" subwoofer So I'm into a 4.1 system.

I tried setting a center channel, but couldn't make it sound any good, probably because of placement behind the display and also timber differences from the MS40. I plan on getting a UHD 40 inches television as a monitor and upgrading my whole setup but I'm quite happy with it so far.

That probably sound awful. Buy proper vintage wood speakers and set it up with a custom amp, you will get some awsome for aroudn 200 bucks which would be 10 times better than some brand new 10 times more expensive set up.

Pic related, this is what I use.

don't worry, i'm moving out mothers basement in 2 weeks and will finally bring my speakers to breath and shine, after 3 years of loving them, i will love them even more after the treatment.

do you have any suggestion on getting some diffusers into my new apartment? i'm thinking about just getting some acoustic foam to glue on some parts on my wall. i don't have much furniture yet except a bed, a computer table and a wardrobe

>>60415042
>oh my god.. aren't those the most artificial subwoofer cans you can get?
Yeah, they are very specialised headphones.
Without the EQ they are no good, but with EQ they are a riot, the bass hits harder than anything else I've tried and mids/uppers are tolerable, they'll never be as good as my HD600s for vocals or classical, ie more natural sounding music but they mostly get used for games & electronic/bass orientated music and regularly put a shit eating grin on my face when the bass drops.

build absorbing and diffusing panels yourself, depending on the geometry of your room, inform yourself what materials and sizes to use, the web is full of proper diy acoustics

Currently looking for some stereo monitors. Looking for the best I can get with $200 for a pair. The speakers should also be able to have a subwoofer connected to them.

What're my options?
Looking at this right now.

>>60416223
Looking at those too.
But they don't ship to my cunt.

>>60416223
any active sub with a built in crossover will work fine with any active speaker

>>60415099
I use Logitech brand 2.1 system and it sounds fine. I'm not some normy audio guy either. Not an audiophile because I'm not autistic, but I do a lot in the music industry so my ears are little more trained the average guy.

>>60416372
what do you do in the music industry?

>>60413323
I have edifiers r1600tiii. Best computer speakers I have personally owned. Obviously nowhere close good monitors/bookshelves or even entry level ($100-150) headphones, but leagues apart from it's direct competitors. Compared to logikeks they sound much more natural, no overblown bass, kinda analytical, monitor-like sound signature. For some people lows might be lacking.
All in all I consider edifier to be very solid brand and can recommend if you are on a budget.

>tfw fell for the Class D integrated amplifier meme
if you're seeking to buy a cheap integrated amp just don't get class D, get some proper class AB amp

I literally just sold my Z313s today.

>>60416601
there's some absolutely fine class d components like hypex and icepower, just the same way as there's absolute trash class ab designs
can't generalize that at all

>>60415373

don't fall for the absorbing panels bullshit -- you have to have a pretty decent system before room acoustics make a difference

>>60416705
this is what audiophiles actually believe
better upgrade them power cables first

>>60413323
just some shitty speakers with no bass. should get a sub but they are expensive and huge.

Got myself some edifier s330d
They sound really good but I wouldn't recommend if you don't make music

If you just watch movies, play games and listen to flac you may be just good with your current setup

HD600 and going to pull a trigger soon on those cute boxes. I can order a demo of them for few weeks for around 30 euros which I am likely to do to compare to JBL 305, but those cute lil things go deeper and more importantly are the smallest speakers I could ever find. Not cheap tho, 600 euro a pair, but people say they sound good and measured good, just don't go ultra loud which won't matter for me since I listen on medium levels mostly and will use them in near field.132×132×202mm, only some genelecs can compare and none of them go anywhere deep.

>>60419104
>600 euro a pair
Holy shit, why would you do this

>>60419201
Because I can and I care. Saved money from a past job and wanted to buy a pair of bookshelves. I have this philosophy for things, I would rather spend some good money on something nice that will last me a lifetime, then get some cheap shit that I would want to upgrade later on. I don't have an upgrade fenzy over tech, when I buy those speakers they will stay with me till they stop working or I get a well paid job, my own house and then start thinking about tower speakers MAYBE. There are JBL 305, but they are much, much bigger and something about their highs puts me off. Those are the perfect fit for my desk without making it overcrowded. And they go 10 Hz deeper which I am curious to hear.

I totally get all your points and I subscribe to the same philosophies myself. I just know that 600 euro for bookshelf speakers is well past the point of diminishing returns. I don't mean to be a downer, I know sometimes spending that much is necessary to get exactly what you want, but definitely do the demo first.

>>60419364
Are these any good?
I've been thinking of getting the Z-680, and they look very similar

I never understood using speakers instead of headphones.

Logitech z506. Its decent for my poorfag setup. I have a desk that wraps around so the rear speakers are behind me at least.

>>60419500
DESU it's a Europe with it's gay VAT and taxes, more specifically Germany. It's just ticks all boxes for me, and since I am a lazy/messy fuck, less is more for me. I would definitely audition it tho, I have little to no experience with speakers, so no point of reference, and audio world is very dependant on one's tastes. People recommended X2 and I took them off in 10 seconds from my head after hearing them. I wish those bookshelves would cost 500 euros like the previous a version, but internals were changed completely and c-3 goes louder than previous c-2 with overall improved sound, judging from forum post supplied by some measures. 400 euros and I would be instantly sold, but knowing that those are made in Germany and googling their parts, around 100 euros for woofer and a tweeter for one pair not counting enclosure and an amp since they are active, makes a sense out of their price. I am yet to hear them, but with JBL 305 being considered a kings of a value going here for around 300 euros a pair, I suppose that since C-Box 3 is much smaller and goes down deeper it's value is about 400 euros with me paying a 200 premium that I don't feel that bad about. I have high hopes but yet to hear them, I need to move to a new flat first tho.

>I don't mean to be a downer, I know sometimes spending that much is necessary to get exactly what you want, but definitely do the demo first.
I don't blame you and auditioning is important as I mentioned. But I guess I am really an audiopfool since none of who I know would dare to spend more than 200 euros on audio.

>>60419639
Real soundstage, overall better bass extension and bass amount. It's more natural listening than headphones, altho for me personally less intimidate one when it comes to vocals.

>>60419808
I was thinking about Chorus 706 before stumbling across cute-box. How are 707?

>>60419901
no way headphones sound artificial speakers sound natural since they can emulate a band on stage also way better lows in speakers tried using headphones and the sub from >>60419808 it actually sounded way better

>I got those 807vw for a bargan they were lables as 806 non w cone most stuff focal makes sounds good

I've owned 10+ pairs of speakers, and I feel like I've finally found the best blend of aesthetics, accuracy, and presence (read: bass and ability to fill room)

if you get a chance, Athena is definitely the way to go if you're on a budget
