So I finally wrecked my old Z-680s (well, I blew the fuse then lost the fuse cover in a move - I'm going to try chasing up logitech and getting some spares) but they sucked anyway and I want to upgrade (I can finally get some decent speakers in the new place), so I was looking at
a studio monitors + subwoofer setup - possibly the Berhringer 2030P monitors, but I'm not sure what to get for a sub. The room is tiny and I can effectively corner load it so I don't need massive, and I'm price sensative so I'm looking for something like the Dayton 12" sub or similar.
Except the complicating factor is its 'in australia' and I suck at DIY.
Anyone recommend some subs on the cheaper side I can actually get in australia? I would consider a US import in te normal course of business, but Subs are heavy so prices are high.
Note, you also need a way to actively cross the Behringers.
As for the sub: if you are going to use this only in nearfield(at the computer), one will be sufficient. But if you use these mid or far field, you will likely only get perfect integration(seamless) of subs and monitors if you use 2 subs(one within 3-4 feet of each monitor, on either side), due to the ideal crossover frequencies that should be used with the B2030P monitor(85-100Hz range).
If you want, I will see what it costs me to send items to you directly via United States Postal Service. Many times, many companies will not ship international via the cheapest methods, or will not accept certain payment types internationally, or other complications making direct purchase not feasible. I have helped (charging no fee or compensation on my behalf) several people internationally to aquire items when such complications arise. You can PM me if you have interest(when you get enough posts to PM, of course....
).
