Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio


Hi all,

I have another thread regarding DAC recommendations and some suggested that my speakers may be the weak link in my system.
I am currently alternating between both Neat Motive 3 and Monitor Audio GX50 with a Creek 5350SE int. amp.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with these, vs. PMC DB1i.
The speakers are for a near-field setup in a small-medium room.

Thanks

Active Speakers bring many technical advantages. There are cheap not so good ones and low end PA types but there are also really good ones. The really good ones (like higher end PMC) are often much better than a speaker with a passive crossover.

No preamp can really make up for issues or deficiencies in the speaker.
