Hey guys, work just got a set of Yamaha HS80M speakers for the recording booth, and has got my thoughts on my setup again.
Current setup:
Xonar D2X
Shure SRH-440 headphones
Swan D1080 08 mk 2 speakers.
After hearing the Yamaha's again (friend has a set too) I'm looking at putting my 1080s as my parents TV speakers and upgrading mine again. I've auditioned some if the other 'HiFi' Swan speakers when I got the 1080s like the T200s but wondering if there is another option also.
Room is ~3*4m, will be setting them on either side of 3 24" screens (or a single 27" in the near future) so fairly wide apart. Considering a Sub also, but I know the hs80s can provide sufficient in that area too.
Thinking $1k or so at Max (ATM) (600ish would be better) and size wise a footprint not much larger than the 1080s is needed.
This is a thought for me ATM, and if you think there won't be a huge advantage I'm happy to sit with what I have + a sub or something too.
Considering atm the Swans M200 Mk III - and probably looking at a sub also (of which i have no further thoughts other than a Audioengine S8).
Main reason for looking at Swan equipment is the main distributor for them in Australia is a 15min drive away and they have a setup there where i can audition things.
For these powered speakers im assuming the D2X's output is generally going to be sufficient ?
Happy to hear (hehe :/) suggestions.
Thanks.
