305p

Have been on the hunt for some fully shielded speakers for a while now. Had been using jbl studio 530s and 305p mkIIs, but both needed to be about a foot away and this setup needs them close to be at ear level. I did use audioengine hd3s for a bit, but they're pretty weak. I also tried shielding the

I'd recommend a pair of 5-6 inch studio monitors - you will only need the monitors (no separate amp needed). Some popular not too expensive models: - JBL 305 or 306P - Kali LP5 or LP6 - Yamaha HS5 - KRK Rokit 5 Note that he'll also need a pair of headphones as well. Senheisser HD25 are a popular mod

I'd argue that a decent pair of powered monitors with a quality Bluetooth adapter running to a budget DAC sounds better than what 98% of average people use on a daily basis, and could be had under $500. Most people I know either just play music from their phone speaker or have some cheap Bluetooth r

The 306P is actually good if you can’t hear the amp noise. I’ve owned JBL 305P, Focal Shape 65, Genelec 8030C, and 8341A. Would probably go Focal for the more pleasant aesthetics.

Buy active book shelf or monitor speakers. I can think of yamaha Hs series, jbl 305 or edifier r2480 on the top of my mind

If you have ~$250, i recommend a couple open item JBL 305P MKII powered 5 inch speakers. They sound good and they have XLR and 1/4 inputs. You'd need to pick up some 1/4" to RCA cables for like 10 bucks, but when you move up to something with XLR outputs, you can use those. I used them with my FLX10

JBL 305P or 306P for solid low end or the KRK Rokit G4 if you want more bassy character and built in EQ, avoid the HS5 unless you plan to add a sub or bigger woofers and treat the room.

Ты челу советуешь взять студийные бу мониторы которые за эту цену нормальными априори не будут. Хорошие студийные мониторы это JBL 305p, Yamaha HS5, Kali Lp6, стоящие более 10к (и это за одну колонку, для стерео нужна пара, уже 20+к) и то им нужна звуковуха нормальная. Для человека надо что то поком

Wow I am so glad I do not need to use a molex power connector since I already have a 12-13 year old Sound Blaster Z which blows away any Motherboard on board sound but considering my card is 12-13 years old and slight improvement might be in order so I am installing a Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Pl

No not a fair test at all. The test would be on the same speaker. If the amp can not properly drive it, that's a speaker/amp integration problem not just an amp problem. My test, is level matched with a test speaker that can be driven in low distortion mode for each amp. ABX blindfolded and a third
