Let's move it up a notch...
If the qualification is the most accurate/linear hi-fidelity system on a computer(
easily exceeding most monitor systems found in most studios), I would wager mine is a contender. Accurate, +/- 0.7dB up to 16kHz, virtually zero resonance in either the drivers(
text book perfect waterfall) or the cabinets(
cabinets have double nested layers with very thick dampening core layers, in addition to a solid oak matrix bracing system every 2-3" on every axis internally). Drivers operate only in their pistonic bands, and power to this system is provided by XLS202D Crown amps on the tweeters(200 x 2), another XLS202D on the mids(200 x 2) and an EP2500 on the woofers(650 x 2), with 2 x 20A dedicated circuits to power the computer and it's sound system. Many broad band acoustic treatments cover this area, some of which can be seen on the left side wall and the back wall and ceiling in this picture. While not easy to see in the picture, there are two suspension systems. One is below the woofer modules, reducing vibration to the floor. The other is located in the connection platforms between the mid-treble modules and woofer modules, to prevent the mid-range from vibrating the woofer modules. Crossover system is via a digital active system, model DCX2496.
There is NO signature or sound to describe. It is simply a transparent window into playback of audio files. This system easily exceeds even the clarity/detail heard in most high quality headphones, except this is a speaker system, and provides a much better stereo sound field as compared to headphones.
Despite this, my main system is still far more enjoyable. This computer monitor system is simply a monopolar near-field system, which has limited potential in creating the illusion of a realistic concert hall or similar large acoustic environment(
which is why I use omnipolar type speakers in an especially treated room for my main system).
