LP-UNF

That’s bit small budget if you want to fill out your whole room. Usually that budget active studio monitors are intended for desktop usage (i.e. about arm’s length away). Like e.g. Kali Audio LP-UNF (EAC review) (Thomann listing). JBL or Adam active studio monitors could be slightly bigger in your b

Another issue is headphone mixers are sometimes too conservative with panning. Try this... Build up a strong mono mix with everything centered. Then at the end, pick just a couple or few elements and pan them out wide to the sides. That's all it takes to have a wide sounding mix. Here's a great vide

Just buy them. The only thing close that is an enclosed, no other expenses system that’s worth the money is Kali Audio LP-UNF. The other two options from KEF are not usually desk friendly at over 11” in depth. You’d have to have a WiiM Amp with room correction to effectively take the bass nulls and

Active studio monitors (like Kali Audio products) have boundary reinforcement switches. I.e. they have controls to lower the bass if you place the speakers near one or more boundaries (wall, desktop, corner, etc.).

Other models to consider with improvements over the Edifier R1280DB: JBL 305P Mk ii and 306P Mk ii,Pioneer DJ V

kinda been there with a cramped corner studio. for a wardrobe setup the Kali Audio LP-UNF actually make the most sense since they're designed for nearfield listening. the JBLs are great but need more breathing room to sound right. the Kali 6.5s would probably be overkill and cause bass buildup in a

oh nice, what do you mean for a streamer? A WiiM Pro with aesthetic damages, but fully functional. Pluses are: BT feature, but you’ll use Spotify Connect in the end, full quality with your mobile working as a remote on your wi-fi; RoomFit: with your mic’s phone (or a calibrated one attached to it) y

For small spaces, I love my kali audio LP-UNF with kali sub.

Sorry, but I don’t know of any good subwoofer that would fit in your budget. And PreSonus speakers (that I have seen) measure like absolute garbage. Also note your problem that these Edifier speakers don’t have a built-in subwoofer output. (Therefore you would need to connect the subwoofer to the pr
