I've had my B&W MM1's for 3 years now, and they provide a good balance of sound for the price. However, they are quiet, too quiet for my liking. Its 2015 and I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place, or that there is a lack of quality computer speakers that strike a good price/sound ratio.
I enjoy a balanced sound without too much overbearing bass, or a colored sound signature, and am now looking to upgrade my set up.
I own KRK RP5 G2's and RP6 G2's, and was considering replacing the MM1's with one of those. However, even though these have been touted as studio monitors, I find the bass to be a little overbearing, and doesn't reflect the audio being played .
I'm not interested in adding a sound card, etc etc, and would prefer to have a USB connection vs 3.5mm.
Would you suggest the KRK over the mm1's?
Or am I better off looking into the Focal XS Book, or KEF x300a's, or some other option?
If I could spend $500 or less, that would be nice (or 0 if you think the KRK's are the right replacement).
