Hey,
I have a pair Audio Monitor MR 2 and an Advance Acoustic MAP 105 Amp that I don’t really use as much anymore mostly because it doesn’t fit in my desk where I spend most of the time. Also I have an Audio Engine D1 DAC.
So I was thinking of maybe selling the speakers (maybe the amp too) and getting powered Speakers but since I have no way of comparing products I need your help finding a product that will replace my current setup.
What I’m looking for:
Small form factor (Desktop use)
I don’t usually stick to one genre but if anything I want speakers that do well with jazz and/or metal music. Something that is fast and fun to listen to.
While not imperative if there are options with bluetooth that would be a nice bonus.
Realistically 400$/€ is the most I can spend
EDIT: Forgot to mention. The reason I am pondering keeping the amp is I have a turntable that I want to keep and build a setup for in the future so If I could get some speakers that can get connected to the turntable that would be a nice bonus.
I was looking into the Kanto yu6 but they are almost 500€ (with shipping) here and thats a bit too high for me. (same for the Audio Engine A5+). Tho, would you recommend these if I found a better price?
I am looking at that thread but since that guy didnt mention a DAC I wanted to see if that would influence the suggestions. Also I edited to include the use with a turntable that doesn’t have a preamp.
You could still use that dac, as long as you are fine with using RCA, with a inline volume controller(about 30-70€ish) and you can also find them in XLR.
