306P

Unless you are fabulously wealthy, the JBL 4309 seem overkill for your goals. I think you could cram almost any active speaker in a bookshelf and be happy with the sound. JBL 306P at $400 will probably be fine if you don’t consider yourself an audiophile. They will sound plenty good enough. You coul

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

Here are my two recommendations depending on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to mix in an untreated room I would go with the Adam D3Vs. Really accurate for the price and you wont be fighting with the room. They have more bass response than the Eris 3.5's but nothing to write home about. I

if you dont have any other options it will make a good difference. however, the r1700dbs dont have an app afaik. the edifier app lets you set a crossover point so that the speakers integrate well with a sub. if you dont have a crossover you might end up making your sound actually worse because of ca

I'm not here to argue, but I used to own them. They were my first standalone speakers except for some rando pc speakers. They were a HUGE upgrade for me and I loved them....

Please don't buy Presonus, they are atrocious. Look at the: Kali Audio LP-UNF (275$ on sale) Adam D3V (350$) Adam T5V (440$) Kanto ORA4 (450$) JBL 306P MkII (500$) Kali (any other models) You'll be glad you did. Hope this helps

“Heavy” doesn’t play much of a roll in monitors. Budget does. At that budget I recommend the JBL LSR 305p or 306p

A lot of monitor selection comes down to preference and how one listens. Ideally, you would audition these speakers. I listened to SCM12 and SCM20 in my search for better monitors and ended up with SCM20. Maybe you can contact ATC and inquire about replacement parts availability for T16. I haven't h

These are the JBL 306P. I got them for free from a buddy of mine that has retired Djing sadly 🥲. I make great use of them though!

For $800 you could get a WiiM Ultra used as a preamp with JBL 306P v2 powered speakers. That would be a banger of a second system.
