hi guys,
during my seach for/about new desktop speakers, i came across this forum a couple times and this seems like a good place to get advice/opinions.
its time to ditch my old speakers (x530 logitech ) and upgrade to something decent.
my goal is to get an overall better listening experience (for as far thats possible of course)
they will be used mainly for music listening, and some gaming.
budget: +-200-300€ (should be able to get something nice for that, no?)
room situation: computer desk in a 5mx3.5m room, speakers would sit at +-80cm from me.
i listen to all kinds of genres like rock/metal, classical, blues, but also hiphop, house, techno etc..
during my search the jbl lsr305 kept popping up, with tons of good reviews, its actually hard to find many negative things about them.
so that made me interested. they also seem to have a great price/quality ratio.
i know these are studio monitors, and intended to sound neutral and honest, but i read a lot of times they perform excellent as regular desktop speakers too...
so im not quite sure if they really are, and i was hoping to find some userbased experience on that matter.
other possible interesting speakers were the mackie cr4/cr5 and the maudio av42?
audioengines seem nice, but ive read some bad things too...+theyre pricey
it would be great if someone (who has the jbls) could give their honest opinion about all this.
thank you!
