Not sure if these are any good, but they have ribbon tweeters, which I love

Hey everyonbe, i was looking to buy some new speakers and i found an M-audio Bx5 D2 set for 100€ used but practically new.
are there any diferences between b5a deluxe and these ones?

 

[sizzlincok]

The D2 is newer and much better. Many reviews say they're excellent and for the price too.

ive owned the swam 200mkIII for a couple of years they sound wonderful, very powerful with plenty of bass. I was wondering if the kef 300x compare to the mkIII?

 

[andrei0635]

I decided to buy the bx5 d2. I will connect them to my motherboard output. Do I need a dac or audio interface or is not needed, just an 1/8 to 2 1/4 adapter? I'm no expert

An external DAC might improve the audio quality a bit. I wouldn't worry about it for now. Try them and see how they sound.

I loved my M-Audio's. Were not perfect without an eq but are a great value. My Emotivas are better but not too much better to justify double the cost.

I just got the Yamahas HS8's. IMO, you can't get a better value. Sounded marginally better than all the 8" monitors I compared them to, and for doubling the cost to monitors like Adams, I couldn't deem them worth it.

 

[Destroysall]

Oh god. I don't understand why people recommend these except for bass. I went into GC to buy these, left with a pair of Mackies. A truly overhyped monitor imo

Its all based on an individual's ear. I love Mackie, but I personally only prefer them for mixing.

I upgraded from a pair of M-Audio AV40 to RuarkAudio MR1. They're definitely more refined. 

These speakers look amazing. Any way to get them shipped to the States? It looks like the brand is Europe only

So just what in the hell is the low pass filter on this Presonus Temblor T10. Go look at an image of it. Huge gap between the 50 and 60hz setting, tiny gap between 60 and 80, and a medium-ish one between 80 and 130. There's no way for me to tell what I'm setting it at unless it's one of those numbers. What a terrible design. Any help?

Nothing wrong with, its abit logarithmic scale with better randscale finetuning from 50Hz-60Hz:

I see. Nice image! Did you make it yourself?

Just curious why you need to see the frequencies more precisely?

If you are trying to match up your speaker roll of with the sub, manufacturer specs can often be off at least a little or a lot, and you need to know the slope of the roll off to figure out where to match. And even then, if the manufacturer provides frequency output graphs, they are most likely anechoic; room acoustics will likely affect the frequency response of the sub and the speakers from anechoic, so the only way to really match things up well is with a mic or SPL meter. Otherwise, you might as well do it by ear.
