I have a pair of Genelec 1029a for my computer. You should be able to get a pair for under $400 used. They are excellent but no bass. I use them with a Hsu sub for excellent nearfiekd sound. They blow away the m audios, which I've heard and krk rokits which I've owned.
Studio monitors for listening to music?
I have been shopping around for something to use on my desktop and possibly transport to my kitchen for a small room setting as well.
I have come across quite a few options out there, including stuff from Audioengine, Kanto, M-Audio, Swan, Quad Active, etc.
I did find a particularly good deal on some M-Audio Studiophile DSM's as well. About $200 each, and was considering going for those, but am concerned about their "musicality". I don't actually like how the Swan M200 MKII's look, but they can be found for only $250 b-stock right now, which is a pretty nice price.
Any thoughts about using Studio monitors for nearfield/small room listening, or any speaker recs for that matter?
Thanks much
