Used is generally how I like to buy speakers, so I do not lose too much money when (not if ;-) ) I want to resell.
The good reviews aside, the LS50W did not seem like a great option to match with the RME DAC because of the internal AD-conversion which makes having a great DAC a bit pointless. Same holds for LSXs, I guess.
Still, thx for mentioning these, they weren't on my radar...
Yes, I had heard of these, but I agree with your opinion. They don't seem to get that much cheaper on the used market. And they look ugly without covers.
Yes yes yes, will do that. I can feel the desk resonating right now! Looking at Isoacoustics Iso 155 stands, which look promising. Or is there anything else to be recommended? Many of the ordinary studio monitor desk stands don't seem to provide much insulation.
How about this vs. KH120 with a sub added later? I wouldn't really mind their slightly bigger size (still quite small).
Any opinions (or better measurements) on the Dynaudio X14A?
