Perfect idea
I just got these speakers in yesterday and man oh man i am happy i took the jump. These replaced my elac debut 2.0 B6.2 speakers. Initially I couldn’t help but notice how full the sound was. It really hit me hard and was night and day compared to my elac. The definition is unreal and its so crisp. The low end is solid. The one downside so far is they are a bit fatiguing on my ears so i can listen on medium volumes for too long. I look forward to enjoying these speakers for many years!
I was thinking of using the rp 500-600m on stands near my desk. It would be for movies, games, and some music. My question is would it be worth the cost jump over say the jbl 306 or the adam tv 5,7,8? Would the powered solution be so close in performance that its not worth it?

I was looking on amazon and the cost jump from the JBL 306 to RP 600m isn’t all that much and is around $70. I don’t have experience with the other monitors, but i really like the RP 600M. Did you see z review of the kali 8in? That’s quite a big jump, but i imagine they last you a long time.
Depending on how far you have your monitors apart id also consider the set up as the powered monitors will have long power cables. Anyway, lmk what you get! Good luck.
Just got the 600Ms for $355 adorama memorial day deal. At that price, nothing compares! I have it paired with an emotiva basX 100wpc @8ohms amplifier (probably overkill), but with this amp, the bass control is incredible. Initially impressed with the clarity and forward-ness but after 10 or so songs, the ears do start fatiguing at moderate high vols. I’m using my Win10 PC playing Amazon HD music pumped to a Schitt Modi 3+. Last weekend, I went to the windows APP store and bought Boom3d for less than $14 bucks. It has a real time EQ and I used my iPhone with an SPL meter at my listening position - boosted the bass freqs and rolled off the highs. I can A/B between the Boom3D settings vs. pure Schitt Modi 3+ and the 600Ms are now perfect. In my listening room (home office), bass rattles the floor (no need for SW now) and I keep the clarity. Probably the best setup I can for under $900.
