Those Clearwaves are really tempting just because yolo...
- KEF LS50 (1250$), Armaegis are these comfortable up against a wall?
- Genelec gFour (2500$), expensive as fuk. Anyone auditioned these?
- Presonus Sceptre 6 (1500$), haven`t read anything bad about them, although you rarely do. looks cool.
- Ascend Aucoustic Sierra 2 (1500$), didn`t Greed get his hands on these?
- B&W 685 S2 (750$), cheap?

Sorry, just rambling out candidates.

I would definitely add the Odyssey Epiphany IV to your list, I believe the current list is $999/pr.

Genelec G four are active speakers and a tad harsh tbh. If you want to go active may I suggest Fostex MP2 mk2? a lot of speaker for the money

edit Check the Adam A8X too (also active)

Do you have a source with a balanced output? Keep in mind that a lot of pro studio monitors are TRS/XLR input only. They also will need some sort of volume control.

They're rear ported, so you don't want them hugging the wall or corners. They do come with plugs though, if you must push them into a corner... but then you're probably better off spending the money on a front ported or sealed speaker.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Right now I`m only using a Modi Uber running USB off my computer. But I`ll keep that in mind, thanks Dave.

Well, if they`re not hugging the wall they`ll be pretty much in my face and taking up all the desk space, so you may be right.
