Excuse me guys
Anyone know the Eve SC204 ?
 

 
 
Im looking for a musical sound, smooth and forgive, i would avoi a too analitic sound, tipical of studio monitors only for professional recording, but im interested only for listen the musics.
 
1 ) Can be great for my tastes or not ?
2 ) How is its sound signature ?
3 ) How is compared to the famous Adam A3x ?

What are the best speakers for ~$400, and should one use RCA, TRS, or XLR for quality and no feedback

No mention of Kanto here? Nice looking, compact, great sq speakers. Initially was unimpressed with the YU2s until they burnt in and then with a Sub8 added, oh man they were creamy. I preferred them over my M-Audio BX8A's almost always.

Consider M-Audio BX8 A/D2, BX5a, KRK Rokit, Audioengine speakers, Kanto speakers, etc. If you're okay with big as **** speakers, BX8As are great

would the krk5 or krk6 be more appropriate for a 20 sq ft room? And what cables and sourcing should I get? I want to use TRS or XLR to avoid any kind of feedback. i also have an AT2050, Sennheiser hd600

I was thinking of getting a schitt stack 2, and maybe a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6

no clue on which cables are good

Sorry for this noob question, but would my Chord Mojo be capable of driving a pair of passives like the Debut B6s? If not would it suffice as a pre-amp? And what should I get for an amp? Or should I get active speakers instead?

All the Chord Mojo could do is act as a DAC, with volume control being done by windows. You do need a speakers amp, no headphone amp will do a speaker justice with appropriate amounts of power. 
 
I would just recommend getting powered speakers. What's your budget and how big is your room?

Just FYI. I've got a pair of JBL LSR305 and they sound amazing. I'm using it with Audinst MX-1 DAC, with RCA-TRS cable. You will need a different cable (3.5 jack to TRS) but the rest is the same.

Thanks for the reply. 
 
I'm looking at a studio apartment and a budget of ~$500.

I love my Emotiva's a lot. Maybe get the Airmotiv 6S if it will be a sizable room, and then later on get a subwoofer.

Best powered monitor under 7 inches wide?
 
After a change in my work to a new company I am spending a lot more time working from home. That means I can now justify an upgrade in my computer audio system. I'd like to find a quality monitor for the desktop that is <$300-$350. The JBL LSR305's look great except for their size. I have fairly limited space and it looks like the 305's (at 9+ inches wide) might not fit. I could go larger but only if I get stands and set them up behind the desk which is not my preferred solution. My max speaker width looks to be about 7 inches and max depth of maybe 8-9 inches. 
 
Any suggestions on possible candidates? I'll probably be connecting them to a Schiit modi DAC and the vast majority of listening will be nearfield. Music is a mix of classic rock, classical, jazz and blues.
 
Thanks for the help!

just curious has anyone used the creative gigaworks t40 and find them good, thinking of getting it.

 

[radosuaf]

I would recommend them ONLY if space is an issue. Otherwise - get some Edifiers.
