I've been out of the desktop audio game speaker wise for a bit. I'm looking for a set of Studio Monitors for use when sitting at my computer desk. They need to be OK close up to a wall. I've already got a set of good floorstanders, but they aren't meant for nearfield and in general a very good source to speaker chain.
I'm looking at KRK Rokit G5's and G6's as they were what I was looking at many moons ago when I was in a smaller space. I think they would still fair quite well with my setup.
Here is the chain I've got. I should note I'm not AGAINST passive speakers, just they must able to be listening to nearfield.
APC H15 & Furman PL Plus Series II -> Computer w nothing but FLAC and hi-rez files -> Black Cat Veloce BNC/SPDIF cable -> Cambridge Audio DacMagic -> Kimber Kable Hero -> B&K Reference 50 pre-amp - ??????? what speakers to get + Elemental Designs A2-300 subwoofer
Now for my floorstanders my setup adds the following: Parasound HCA-1200ii -> Infinity RS-II or Polk RTA 11TL - both with a Elemental Designs A2-300 sub
So help suggest some good studio monitors to me. I'm not against looking at used and I'm currently following some KRK Rokit G6's on eBay.
Any suggestions welcomed. Looking for something on the used market I could find for say under 300 USD for a pair...
