I would take Energy RC-10s all day long over those powered speakers, as good as they might be. They're not going to compete with true bookshelves and an amp.
Originally Posted by DeusEx /img/forum/go_quote.gif I just got a pair of Energy RC-10 bookshelf speakers for under $300 (MSRP $600), and hooked up to a vintage Onkyo integrated amplifier, they are amazing for the price. Incredibly smooth and sweet highs, uncolored and balanced midrange, and impactful, extended lows (very good for a 5 1/2" driver). They are a generally neutral speaker, slightly warm sounding (the bass is, at least), but balanced enough for studio usage. They are great for any genre (I've tried classical, rock, pop, trance, folk, jazz, modern), and you said you also use logic pro, so they're good to go for studio use. If your budget was under $250, i'd say go for Audioengine or M-Audio, but since its $500, you can do a lot better with something like the Energy paired with a Rotel/NAD integrated amplifier. |
