powered desktop speakers
Hi folks Looking for some high quality desktop speakers to use for listening to music. Let me state that movie and game sounds are completely irrelevant to me. What I am looking for is sound quality for listening to lossless files with desktop speakers. I have found 3 recommendations and I was wondering if anyone have any experience with one or more of them. The speakers are M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 Creative gigaworks t40 and BW mm1 Yes I realize that they are kind of pricy. The BW system is by far the most expensive but I like the idea of a built-in digital to audio converter. Andre To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
RE: powered desktop speakers
I have no experience with those, but I have a pair of Harmon Karden Sound Sticks. I think they're up to version 3 now. They are a 2.1 system and sound great and can handle playing quite loudly. I think they're around $150 U.S. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of André van Deventer Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 3:07 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: powered desktop speakers Hi folks Looking for some high quality desktop speakers to use for listening to music.

Re: powered desktop speakers
I can also recomand the benwin speakers they can play quite loud and are perfect for lossless sound. you can get2.1 or 5.1 set ups, also from what i was told you might sometime in the furture find a 7.1 speaker system from benwin, i talked to thei custmor service and i am truely surprised with the speakers. - Original Message - From: Blackwell, Clifford cblackw...@cityofmadison.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 3:13 PM Subject: RE: powered desktop speakers I have no experience with those, but I have a pair of Harmon Karden Sound Sticks.

Re: powered desktop speakers
I just bought studio monitors, the Adam audio a7x. They run balanced and unbalanced xlr and rca out, and sound really good on lossless stuff. It depends what you want, I wanted to hear a flat frequency response, not any sort of pre-designed emphasis of the lows or highs. I don't have experience with any of those systems, I do have a bose companion 5 system at university and have been pretty impressed with it, but again, it's not a flat freq response system, it's a consumer speaker and damn good at what it does. I hope that helps a little? Always listen before you buy, you know that, but sometimes it bears repeating especially when you see a good price online. Also, test it with different genres of music or the most often listened-to genre that you know you'll be playing on the speakers.

RE: powered desktop speakers
Clifford This was also one of the systems I have been reading about. Volume to me is not the issu but most definitely the sound quality is. I listen to quite a lot of acoustic music for example. I believe this system has a small subwhoofer included? Is this correct? -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Blackwell, Clifford Sent: 16 August 2011 10:13 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: powered desktop speakers I have no experience with those, but I have a pair of Harmon Karden Sound Sticks.

RE: powered desktop speakers
Dave I listen to a lot of acoustic music - including large choirs. For such music I would think that a flat response would be the best kind of thing. I don't like electronic music at all. Where good quality systems are concerned, it seems the best to stick to brands that are known for good speaker design although they are more expensive?
