nearfield

Hello everyone! I’ve been getting so much help from all of you as always, and I’m truly thankful for it. I’m finally ready to move forward with upgrading my gear after a lot of consideration. I’m currently using the Presonus Eris E5 XT with room correction via UMIK-1. My room measures 3660mm x...

Introduction This is my first post after I have been reading and benefiting from this forum for roughly two years. I am no trained listener, and I listen to music purely for pleasure. Thus, everything I post should probably be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, my impressions and...

Hello guys! Due to my inability to listen those studio monitors from up close, I would greatly appreciate your input in order to make my next studio monitor purchase. First of all regarding my room, it is 2.92m x 2.75m in size and my desk (where the speakers are) is 10 cm away from the wall...

Greetings all! I’m considering upgrading my very near field, desktop audio system. I currently have a powered speaker, the Transparent zero, which are fantastic for what they are, but want a little more and my girlfriend could use them in her setup. I recently upgraded my living room stereo...

Hello everyone, I'm new hear and this is my first post. I came across this site looking for speaker reviews and comparisons. I'm in China and I'm looking to upgrade my Edifier MR4 speakers that I've had for almost two years. I have Edifier A300 speakers for my TV and the difference in sound...

Hi im looking for speakers for my PC. I tried the edifier r1855db and found the bass to be over powering at lower levels of volume. The speaker kept producing rrrrrrrr kinda sound at the slightest of base while the vocals were like from very far away. The constant hummmming sound from the bass...

Hello everyone, Brazilian planning to buy speakers for my house in Argentina. I'm currently using a Sony STR-DE895 (more info below) receiver and I'm interested in finding a pair of bookshelf speakers that excel in clarity and have a slightly brighter sound signature. These speakers would...

Hey there, I'm considering getting some nearfield speakers for my desktop setup (placed on the desk) in a small room (3m x 3m). I'm looking for a good fun all-rounder for multimedia—music, games, and movies. I'm leaning towards active speakers and aiming to stay around €450 without a subwoofer...

Is Genelec really worth the money over Kali? Looking for nearfield coaxial monitors to upgrade from Adam T5V, listening distance 1.0-1.2 meter, desktop use directly flanking a 32" monitor, typical SPL <80dB. I specifically want coaxial to optimize response as I move slightly around in my very...

I'm talking about bookshelf and smaller speakers that are at most 3-4 feet away from your listening position. 60-70dB is typical, maybe +10-20 if you want to go crazy. If I understand the general math correctly, we're talking about just a few watts of power. So, is there any realistic difference...

Hi folks, My KEF LS50W Nocturnes crapped out ($2500, active) and I'm looking for a replacement. My request is that these are: - nearfields (sitting ~3ft away), - functional close to the wall (3-5 inches of separation). - active, or if passive, the price of a good amp can fit in the $5k I...

For nearfield desktop use between 2 ft and 1M distance from me. Active Studio Monitors vs. Passive Bookshelves + Small Amp? Roughly £1k budget. I’m looking for desktop speakers/amp to pair with Topping DX5 DAC that I currently only use with headphones. Usage will be hi-res music playback...

Hello. For context, I work as a full time video editor and often times I have to deal with a little sound mixing on my projects. These include voice EQ, sound effects and music. At this point I'm using my Macbook Pro speakers and Hyperx Cloud II to mix. Of course this might be the worst...

Hello, I'm looking for something better than my laptop speakers for when I don't feel like wearing headphones (summer and with it swamp ears are coming). The most common recommendations aren't really sold here but edifiers are and they're pretty well priced (Equivalent of 88$ for 1380BT, 105 for...

First off, thanks to everyone here for the info on this forum, both the opinions and especially the detailed reviews / measurements. It's been incredibly helpful as I've been researching my options. I'm looking to get a pair of good speakers for listening to music at my desk, and I'm trying to...

In our post-COVID world of working from home and oft-repeated virtual meetings (another term for Zoom fatigue), I thought I would reach out and invite others to share their thoughts on the ideal desktop setup for working and listening to music. Beside the benefit of crystal-clear sound for...

Hello All, I was hoping someone could help me choose a configuration based on the equipment I could buy and the stuff I have access to already. So I am pretty new to audio - I have a mix of kit I could receive soon, and I am not sure what to use. The goal of the setup was to upgrade my current...

Hey everyone! Some time ago I created a thread asking for the best monitors for $300 a pair, and the finalists were the Adam T5Vs and the Kali LP-6s. Well, now I wanted to actually buy them but I've thought that if I'm going to keep them for a long time maybe it is wise to spend a little more...
