jules Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 right now i have jbl alien speakers and harmon karden soundsticks. i have the jbl's at home in a modified mid-century stero cabinet that my original homeowners left for me. i am in the process of redoing my sunroom and it has a mid-century feel as well. these will be out in the open so i want some decent looking and of course good sounding speakers that i can hook up to my network via an airport. any suggestions?

jules Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 true but i would think someone has a good recommend for decent speakers. maybe i should have asked for an ms paint of speakers instead.

baph Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) I highly recommend Audioengine, especially the A5s, which are basically active near-field monitors tweaked to be room speakers, but which are pretty fucking great in either role, and which sound amazon. Plus, really great customer service. http://audioengineusa.com/ edit: also, you can plug an airport express right into the back; there's an outlet just for that shit.

Guest kwikshot Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I've heard very good things about KRK Rokit 8's (Assuming by "computer speakers" you mean monitors) http://www.krksys.com/krk-studio-monitor-speakers/rokit/rokit-8.html Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/69107-need-new-computer-speakers/#findComment-1666384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think if your heading towards studio monitors then a decent prosumer soundcard is needed first.

baph Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) I actually just use a first gen Apogee Duet: covers me as a (really fucking good) DAC, headamp (plus out to the A5 monitors), and I/O device for recording, and it sounds wonderful. It's OS X only, though.
