I've gotta check those out sometime. I like the idea of a front port.

It is nice to place the monitors right up against the wall. In addition, the rubber decoupling pad keeps the bass tight on a regular desktop which might lack weight/rigidity. The front feet fit right into the rubber pad and allow you to aim the tweeters at your ears (like the stand on the MC15). The 160 hz notch filter eliminates the mid bass boom from the desktop reflection.

I also really like the front gain controls on both monitors, to center the stereo image just right (likely it's my ears but many recordings really respond with slight adjustments in relative gain and the result is better depth and 3-D effect).

Apologies for hijacking and rambling, but these monitors seem to be well-designed and work well on a computer desktop. FWIW.

Same for me...I got into computer audio with headphones, and had some very, very nice equipment. But once I started using some nice speakers, I stopped using headphones, except at work. Headphones are great...but speakers can give you a much more natural sound that is more relaxing, in my opinion. Hopefully they won't kick me off this site for saying that!

would you guys say that the MC-15 monitors + MC-250 sub is a good desktop setup for EDM and movies? i think i would be using something like a Burson HA-160D as the pre-amp (does this make a difference?).

can't go wrong with the matching Dynaudio sub. it's tailor made for the MC15 since the rolloff characteristics match the speakers without the need for an external crossover

entry level HDMI in/out AVR

2 x Infinity Primus P152

good performing/musical Hsu sub?

 

much cheaper, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, multiple A/V connections, upgradable to 7.1 configuration, etc....a bad sub ruins your music/audio experience tbh
