To me that includes everywhere except a place where I *really* focus on music. Mind you, I hate *bad* sound, but I don't need audiophile reference sound wherever I go - I just need musicality and balance. I always have the reference sound for the music in my ears, thus as long as it doesn't offend me, and I can hear one or the other detail that I find cool, I am ready. For example, in my home office I have a 7 year old set of Monsoon 700 for my PC - and they sound great, I *enjoy* listening to music through them (and they have the visual cool of being little dipole-radiating planar speakers) even though they were all of $150 at the time. Amazing staging, you feel ike there's a little Liliputian orchestra hideen behind your flat panel. :-) They Audioengines sound like they will keep up and then some. Which is all I need in the bedroom, honestly. I am no fan of exaggerated bass, but typically my main gripe about some settings is lack of bass extension and control, and some subwoofer systems -as my Monsoon 700- have a musical subwoofer, desgied to cplement the sound and not shake the walls. Even some over $1k monitor speakers are severly lacking in bass delivery when compared to larger setups, so I think the Audioengines may sound "better" in some places and for some application than expensive studio monitors. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33632 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
