hi,
my z2300 died so i'm looking to upgrade to something nicer.. this will be used for a nearfield desktop setup.. about 2.5ft from my seat, 12x9x8 bedroom
the main priority for me is listening to music.. i play games and watch movies on a different setup
so i'm looking at these models:
- swan m10 ($100 pair)
- m-audio av40 ($150 pair)
- krk rp5 ($240 pair)
i'm new to studio monitors and i'm just wondering what the best bang for my buck would be...there are so many choices i dont know where to begin.. i tried searching but couldnt really find a comprehensive review/comparison
if i dont do any recording or mixing.. will the rp5's be overkill? i found them for $240 a pair and i love how they look.. i really want a reason to get them but i'm wondering if they're overkill for my situation.. is there a huge difference between the RP5's SQ vs either the av40 or m10?
will i be satisfied with the av40 or m10? can anyone comment on the differences between these two? which is a better value?
mids/highs are my priority..the walls in my house are pretty thin so i'm not looking for heavy bass.. clarity is preferred
my genres: rap/hiphop (45%), alternative/punk rock (45%), trance (5%), pop (5%)
any comments/suggestions are appreciated... thanks
