Yes, active studio monitors have built-in power amps, so you wouldn't need an amp at all.

Well, my default recommendation is ATC, but looking at the price of the Stridbecks, I think ATC is probably beyond your budget (unless you can find them secondhand). Some companies that make monitors in your price range would be Dynaudio, Genelec, JBL; I'm sure there are many others. Pat Farrell is the guy around here who would know more. The best thing to do would be to visit a pro studio dealer to get an idea of what's available. One tip: if your listening room is a "normal" lounge, you'll need to avoid speakers described as "nearfield monitors": they are specifically designed to be used at close range, and tend not to work well in larger rooms. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30823 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
