    Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 - Surprised

    Just got a cheap used Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 that I'm running out of an old uDac.  For the price this system is pretty respectable.  Beats the old Yamaha receiver and Pioneers that I was running and takes up way less space.  For low to moderate sound levels in a near field environment this is...

    Oh no... near field system chewing up my listening time!

    Review by 'VanCitySound' on item 'Yamaha PRO 500'

    I was looking for a cheap and cheerful, fun sounding closed can for listening at my computer at work and some limited portable use.  I typically listen to EDM in this setting and had been using the Shure 840s. Although a great headphone the 840’s did not have the low end horse power or staging...

    Looking for input on AKG K702

    They are great cans and IMHO. You would be very hard pressed to do better for under a grand. The soundstage and clarity is world class. In fact, to my ears, they rival they HD800s in this regard
