$1000± for mini monitors…

<< < (2/17) > >>

The Vapor Breeze would be close to that price category. I went with the Fritz 5 SE because it I needed a smaller cabinet for my workstation. No Rag yet though

I have a feeling though that the Philharmonitor might be the best bang for the buck though.

I caved and bought a pair of Sierra 2 speakers when massdrop was hosting them. I was really close to pulling the trigger on a pair of LS50 after hearing them 3-4 times at shows and demos at my local dealer. I'll let you know what I think of the two in comparison when I get the Sierra 2s.

Excellent!
I look forward to reading your findings. :thumb

I did find this one review, which is ongoing…

The guy does seem to have decent set of ears since he hears subtle differences based upon program material.

Those two would be my picks as well, if I had the money to buy them, space to put them, and time to listen to them.

Right now my entire computer speaker system cost less than buying a set of 'computer speakers', even with the $25 tweeter up grade…   hahahahahaha

I figure the upgrade from a $20 Lepai amp to the Rok will force my hand with these really quite decent, cheap speakers.  Although it will be interesting to hear what the differences will actually be.

It will also be interesting to see how close speakers, in a near field setting, will approach what my 800's provide, especially since they both will be driven by the same source(s).
An interesting experiment…

Awesome "bookshelf" speakers for under $1000


1. Start up computer
2. Google "Used Mackie HR824"
3. Find pair in good condition for $500
4. Buy them
5. ENJOY!  :)p1

  It seems that the Philharmonitor is a 'joint venture' with

An interesting choice to be sure.
