Powered monitors are often an over-looked yet affordable, viable option for separates. Don't buy cheap computer speakers though. Go to Sweetwater or Musician's Friend and order a decend pair of powered monitors from the Pro Market. The only drawback is most of them do not come with grills. But some of them have an excellent apperance without the need for grilles.
Moving to separates
Finally willing to make the jump to separates.
Live in apartment setting: have managed to sell off most of my "consumer electronics" to fund purchases of first separates equipment.
Have been attentively reading this site's postings for some time. While I am not ready to jump into the high-end side of the pool, are any of you able to recommend some reasonably priced separates to consider first? I realize that they won't be, and shouldn't be "cheap", though I am admittedly not yet willing to take the plunge on extraordinarily high priced goods.
I haven't yet bought speakers; I'm currently auditioning several pairs.
Thanks so much for your help in starting me off with a list to use while traveling about, listening!
