| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Zdac, I have heard the LS50w’s properly set-up and they are downright amazing. They compete with many of the dozens of high end speakers I have owned. I’ve owned LS50w’s.I have never once heard, or heard about the speakers that you mentioned. I... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) @zdac... 1 post? I’m lol at a “home max” speaker ever making anyone feel foolish about an LS50w purchase...I almost fell out my chair I was laughing so hard. Oh man. Thanks for that! That was a good one 😂 | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) If you aren’t rocking the office walls down, the A2+ should work just fine. They are tiny little guys so the size may be appealing and the red ones are pretty neat looking. Theyhave a nice tone but are rolled off on the highs. The Adam T5V is twic... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) The Elacs and Wharfedales are great; I mentioned them.I’ve seen them for sale Used so your argument doesn’t hold up | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Another thing too, if you buy a pair of Adam A5x’s used at $500 and sell your adcom gear for $250, you’re only in it for $250. Powered monitors are going to clean up the look at volume controls easily accessible on the speakers might be a plus ove... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) This thread ties in with my diminishing returns thread... it just goes to show how awesome of a set-up you can get for very little $ and how many choices are out there.My buddy has the Adam T5v and they are awesome! His $800 setup (acoustic panels... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? I was wondering about that, Douglas, but I’ve never experienced it to that effect before. Must have been a combination of that and what roberjerman said. | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) The vanatoo’s punch way above their weight, er, size. Really dynamic for their size.I was going to mention the Audioengine A2+ as well. I have the the B2 which is 2 A2+ smashed together into one unit. I also use an audioquest red dragonfly and ... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? I should have been clearer perhaps.I just got some used Kef R100’s. They were in transit for a week. I’m not sure if they were in use before the seller shipped them or how long they’d been sitting around not in use.I disconnected the speakers I ... | |
| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) @drew_f, you just plug them into unused outlets on the same circuit as your rig? Any preference between the ps audio and ifi? | |
| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) 148 posts, no virtual system, no advice for the op?+1MC-1 for JRI didn’t realize the BDR cones are so inexpensive. Possibly my next tweak! Thanks MC!Nice set-up Skypunk! | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) @chrshanl37 , great suggestion 👍 | |
| Diminishing Returns @bdp24 , I had actually looked them up awhile back based on your suggesting them in a totally different thread! Your suggestions are not falling on deaf ears my friend 🙂. The issue I have with them, and most planars is shipping, resale and durabi... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) These work really well for desks as well. They decouple and isolate your speakers from the desk and tighten up image focus and bass response. You can angle them or raise them also, whichever you prefer 😀https://www.guitarcenter.com/IsoAcoustics/... | |
