thats the only way you can see if you can find a decent pair for a good price.Īnd then there's the question of what sound card you use. Go to the shops and get them to demo you some. Those are some i can think off the top of my head right now. only seen the passive PA speakers and that one had a tiny bit of a mid eq notch (after all, its a vocal PA speaker.) I havn't heard what their studio monitors sound like. those guys there are absolute genious.Īlto - cant find you a link to their website but there's lots of retailers that stock them so its worthwile having checking them out. JBL - You have to hear them to believe them! Seriously. Few of my recomendations (including those i wish i had the money for.)īehringers - Not the best in the market, but usualy cheaper than the rest If you want true flat EQ speakers then you might as well stick with studio quality monitors. Hey vigilante, are you mainly going to record/mix in stereo/2.1 or 5.1 etc? (i wouldn't mind owning one for myself tho ) Besides, i hear most of logitech and creatives stuff are great for the consumer/multimedia/games audio field. I thought that THX stuff was just a standardised format that means something among the lines as the sound being "cinema quality" or some sorts. What do you suggest which is a reasonably priced solution? And obviously, if I EQ my stuff to my own "off" speakers, the sound will probably NOT sound good on high end speakers, if you follow. But for anybody with GOOD speakers, it will sound accurate to my standards.
Then let the end users suffer at the will of their own speakers. I don't need 100% Hollywood quality accuracy, but I just want a good reference to EQ my stuff.

Is there any PC speakers like this? Or do I need to get a better sound card and regular studio monitors? So again, I want a set of speakers that just has accurate sounds, almost as if it did not even HAVE a bass or treble volume, because that would make the sound inaccurate. But on someone's else's speakers, my EQing down the bass will probably sound wrong, simply because my own set was to loud in that register. But if my current speakers are to big on bass, I might EQ the bass down. This way, when I EQ, I will EQ it to my ear to be what I want. Not overdriven on any frequency, just, accurate. Well what I'm looking for is a speaker set which, for all intents, plays audio the way it was meant to be heard. Likewise cheaper sets may have a weak base, but overdrive the mids and highs with the other speakers. I don't know if that makes sense, but like, you know you can buy speakers with a big huge bass and you know it's going to be overdriven on the bass. My question is, I want a pair of speakers which are "accurate" to the recording. I've been looking at the Dayton BR-1 kit at Parts Express.Hi all, I do some recording with my digital piano, vocal etc. Size and appearance are of no consequence. I'd like to keep it cheap, but like I said, the Creatives I have are not really that bad for lower volumes, so I'd like to see a fair step up in sound quality and power handling for my trouble. I've been using a decent (for 'computer speakers') Creative 2.1 set for a long time, but I find myself looking at the recently replaced but still functional Onkyo amp sitting on the end of my desk and thinking a decent pair of bookshelf speakers (and maybe a small sub) might be nice. Maybe another topic should be started for this, but I'd be interested in this discussion as well. Where is the middle-ground discussion on the interwebs? There's enough discussion from the 'computer speakers' camp-i.e., I've been using computer speakers since the Gravis Ultrasound days and MAN this new stuff outclasses the old stuff in every conceivable way-and also in the Audiophile camp-i.e., these speakers have tweeters made from the sinews of Santa's reindeer-but really only Rudolph, and only from his less-fibrous forelegs, naturally-but precious little I've found in between. But I've no desire to push things into crazytown price range, either. To increase the selection options to the levels I'm talking about, you'll need to add an amp, and that will surely push you over the 250 threshold for everything. On my cheap amazon-bought desk-itself living in a cozy (polite word for it) apartment-sits a 27" monitor with over 1 foot on either side. But seeing is how the hive mind seems fairly settled on 1 or 2 options, allow me to proceed.īookshelf speakers shouldn't be considered too large if you want really good sound. My last post wasn't appropriate to the OPs needs, and for that, I apologize.
