Mini Monitors ~5K?

(1/3) > >>

zachchen1996:
I only have experience with headphones / IEMs and absolutely no experience with hi-end speakers.
Only speakers I've ever had were the Emotiva Stealth 8 and Airmotiv 4 active monitors.
I'm looking to get passive mini monitors for around 5K or less and plan to pair whatever speakers I get with the Schiit Ragnarok and Yggdrasil.

I haven't personally heard them, but the Joseph Audio Pulsar seems to get quite a bit of praise. Any thoughts?

DaveBSC:
$5K is a serious chunk of change for monitors. Why monitors specifically? Are you planning a nearfield setup with them placed on a desk? What's the room like? What are your placement options? Do you have or can you buy any treatments?

When it comes to big dollar speakers, there's a lot more involved than just what's "good" and what's "bad."

zachchen1996:
They have to be monitors because I'll be moving the speakers around quite a bit.
I'll be using them at home and in my college off campus apartment.
The speakers will be placed on sound anchor stands, not a desk.
I don't ever plan on using them in any exceptionally large room or in a room with treatments.

Rotijon:
Franco Serblin Accordo's if you can get em second hand.

anetode:
I'm afraid that 5K simply won't get you what you're looking for in today's competitive price-unconscious marketplace. May I suggest saving up a little extra and getting a pair of Magico speakers? I use a pair of their Q7s on my desk, but the Q1s are a decent entry-level alternative at 25K.
