Adam audio makes great active monitors . You can hear them at Guitar Center . Theres a new model to compete with the JBL 305 . I own JBL 305 and 308 and have owned 2 pair of Adams . Cant go wrong with either imop.
Studio monitors, powered, use at home to stream from smart phone?
I was considering, for a small second system, buying a pair of used powered, inexpensive studio monitors (JBL or Yamaha). Input would be an Audioengine Bluetooth receiver/dac via RCA interconnect. These speakers have XLR balanced and TRS(?, looks like a phonoplug) inputs. Has anyone used an adaptor and tried this? Would these speakers be too bright and etched/grainy for smartphone streaming home use? I know there are speakers made for this, some with built in receiver/dac/antenna. I thought these speakers may be better and a better value! Any input would be appreciated!
