In my opinion EMU 0404 and Behringer 2030 is best low budget set-up.

I'm not too sure how it works.. seems like I need a DAC? or some people recommend the EMU 0404? Thanks! |

As for the Yamahas technically they sound better; they are bi-amplfied and feature active crossovers, the A5's feature neither. I haven't heard either but the Yamahas being pro monitors will mean they should have a very flat response. The A5s being more of a consumer speaker wouldn't necessarily aim for such a neutral response. Where you consider better would be largely personal preference. |
