What are some active monitors that are good for general use?
I know most of them are designed to be as transparent and flat as possible... but are there any that make good multimedia speakers?
What about Genelec? I noticed they have a crossover at 3000hz, which would probably make them good for multimedia use.
Here are some I have found looking around :
Swans D1080-IV
Airmotiv 4
AktiMate Mini+ B
Vanatoo
Ruark Audio MR1
AktiMate Micro B
JBL LSR305
Yamaha HS5
Genelec 8020c 8030B
tannoy reveal 502
Which of these would be good for general use? (youtube, gaming, music)
When I say "nice", I mean warm sounding with good lower midrange and clear but not sibilant treble, not extremely bright or revealing of compressed audio, generally "nice" sounding like for example B&W 685 S2 or Shure SRH 1540.
