Good music speakers?

[GMichael]

I don't think that 20 watt speakers are what the original poster is looking for.

What about some nice older speakers, i just picked up a very nice pair of
JBL L46's for $200.00

hmmmm... They look nice. How do they sound to you?

MA-10Ds are compac bi-amplified studio reference monitors supplied with both analog and digital inputs with high resolution 24-bit/96kHz D/A converters. *Active 2 way monitor speakers with 20 Watts total power. *Coaxial and Optical S/PDIF Inputs. *RCA and 1/8" Stereo Mini Inputs. *Headphone jack *Frequency Response 45Hz - 35kHz +0/-2db

In other words....computer speakers....or iPod speakers. My boombox puts out more than 20 watts.

[SpankingVanillaice]

If you want more power get the MA-20D its goes up to 40 Watts but the freq response is only from 50Hz - 22kHz -2db. So its not as wide response as the MA-10D that I recommended. The MA-10D goes from 45Hz to 35kHz -2db.





Edirol MA-20D

To me sound is what matters the most not power since you could have a speaker that has tons of power but not as accurite and precise as the MA-10D. Remember these are studio monitors they are made to play flat and accurite as how the recording is done.

They sound pretty good, maybe a little harsh on top but when combined with my L50's
it rounded it out very nicely. I did move the 46's back and down below the 50's and that
really helped. it was a smoking deal the had just had new surrounds installed and the seller had reciepts, he did me right. Plus they match the 50's.

Okay...so which speakers are designed to be...NOT accurate?

Cool, congrats..

I am just trying to say is that all studio monitors are made to produce clear and flat response so you can hear the orginal recording precisely.

This it what are friend should check out.

The L26 is a very nice speaker it has the 125a woofer very nice, mmm these will go cheap
all the old two way's do only the three ways bring any real money for some reason.
Honey can I buy some speakers

[SpankingVanillaice]

Just because my Edirol MA-10D are studio monitors doesn't mean that it will produce huge amount of bass or treble since remember studio monitors are made to produce as naturaly and flattest as possible so you can hear everything in the recording. I really think studio monitors are better than home speakers for sure since home speakers attend to have lots of bass or treble.

[N. Abstentia]

So 'regular old crappy home speakers' like B&W Nautilus, Dynaudio, Paradigm Reference, or Totem have crappy bass and treble and don't let you hear the orignial recording?

Your 10 watt computer speakers sounds better than those?

Studio monitors. Not speakers, remember? Studio monitors. They are made to sound good.

[N. Abstentia]

Yeah I'm throwing all my speakers in the trash and getting some 10 watt studio monitors because they sound more 'accurite'. Speakers suck, studio monitors rule!

[SpankingVanillaice]

Well if you have the money you can buy better studio monitors like the JBL LSR6325P or the JBL LSR6328P or even the JBL LSR6332 since those are the top of the line studio monitors. They really play flat and accurite as the recording is done plus they play loud.




JBL LSR6300 Series

[SpankingVanillaice]

By the way my monitors are 20 Watts not 10 Watts. Anyways for the price $165 pair my monitors are the best.

[GMichael]

I would get the Tannoy's over the JBL's.

Well according to their webiste, they are 10 watts...hence the '10' in the model number.

And no..they are not the best. They are nowhere near the best. These (and many many others) will destroy them:

I know this is very... very... very hard to believe but SDAT SB-E639 speakers are very good music speakers! www.sdatgroup.com

[N. Abstentia]

I would buy some SDAT's, but the white van always leaves the Arby's parking lot before I get the chance.

[SpankingVanillaice]

My monitors are 10 Watts each that's what the site meant so total power is 20 Watts. Anyways these monitors are really great for the price I mean they are bi-amped and they play very flat and they have wide freq response from 45Hz to 35kHz and plus the speakers are capable of producing digital sound since it has digital inputs.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Oh I forgot one more important thing about my Edirol MA-10D monitors. The RCA pin were you connect the speakers to your source are 24K gold plated too. Both right and left monitors are gold plated. One more other thing the woofer is 3in 5/8 and the tweeters are 2in.

[N. Abstentia]

Wow. Gold plated? Man. You should melt those down and sell the gold and buy some real speakers.

I'll bet those 3" woofers rock the house, yo!!

[SpankingVanillaice]

Well anyways to get to the point my Edirol MA-10D studio monitors are the best for the price you can ever get.
