I am currently running a Fostex HP-A8 connected to my MacBook Pro.
Headphones are Fostex TH900.
The HP-A8 will also output to (powered) speakers, so I want to add some to my system.
These are for listening/audiophile use, not professional use.
Fostex makes their own audiophile speakers, however they are not designed for near-field listening.
On the other hand, many of the "audiophile" desktop speakers like the KEF X300 do not have RCA inputs and also do not allow you to bypass their DAC.
So I am looking for a pair of high end, audiophile desktop speakers with the following requirements:
1. Self-powered
2. Near-field (i.e. computer desktop use)
2. RCA inputs
3. Internal DAC, if present, can be bypassed
The AudioEngine lineup is a little bit too low end for me.
Currently, I am considering the Adam Artist 3 or 5.
Please give me other suggestions to consider that meet these requirements.
