"I will be sitting at that desk mostly. Thanks!" So here is the tricky problem. How far apart you want them while sitting at the desk and how apart you want them while sitting in the room are two different answers. You can't optimize for both. In the room, they don't look far enough apart if you're

If the RME isn’t adding color in your opinion, do you think that the Motu was then? Since either of them has to for your assessment to be true. I still don’t think new monitors will give you what you want, but if you are dead set on buying new speakers, Kali is nowadays the first one you should cons

I got two Dynaudio LYD 5 and they were 500 each. They sound amazing at really low and really high volume.

I would say their higher tier stuff is okay. But $700, if I wanted powered, I'd just jump up to a pair of Dynaudio LYD 5s. Or go passive.

And add IK multimedia ARC studio to use automated room correction.Or you can take IK Multimedia iLoud MTM MKII monitors - those come with internal room correction and have cor

I personally like the sound of the LYD 48 a lot (and Dynaudio in general), but the Kalis are just the better deal here. In my opinion, the LYD series’s build quality and lack of features just does not justify their price. Check out the enclosure up close, it’s just kind of cheaply made. So is the Ka

Generally speaking 3-way monitors tend to be more revealing as the work/frequencies are spread out over three speakers allowing each to work more accurately in its defined range.
