I tried the AE 2 and it is excellent BUT I did not like the volume pot on the back. I feel the need to have control of the volume from the front. So, I will suggest the Studiodock (model 3) by Samson. Neat, petite w/built-in DAC! Not bad, really. Priced at just north of $100.
Inexpensive $200/pair Active Monitors
I am looking for inexpensive, less than $200 a pair, active monitors for my PC to listen to music in my office. These are not for critical listening but should sound good. I prefer to stay away from 3-piece combos as I find the bass to be one note boomy in this price range.
Through numerous searches I have found references to Audioengine a2, Swan M200 MKII, Alesis M1Active 520, M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 and iKey Audio M505 in this price range.
Any recommedations from this list or any others worth a listen?
Thanks,
Martin
