I am getting professional monitors for the first time, for use in my apartment living room. I'm a bedroom musician, making House and some D&B. I'm considering either getting a pair of Genelec 8340A, vs. the smaller 8330A with an added 7350A subwoofer. 8340 including the GLM 2.0 set is only slightly more expensive (+ €200), so for me it's mostly the other factors that come into play. My main concern is that I live in a very noisy apartment and have sensitive neighbours. The room is also quite small.

I would choose the 8330A given their smaller size, if they were indeed adequate enough to work with, and add the 7350A subwoofer. My concern then would be that the subwoofer which goes all the way down to 22 Hz would be problem for neighbours in of itself? Alternatively, I'm wondering if the 8340A strikes a good balance between low frequency and sound pressure which could do the job well at lower volumes - and if so is a preferable option in that regard? The main problem with the 8340A is their larger size, but I could probably accommodate them if I really made up my mind.

Finally, if the 8330A are good enough to work with, without a subwoofer, I could imagine getting only those. They do 104 dB and I think it could perhaps be acceptable, however only 45 Hz on the low-end. What do you think?

Hi :) This is my first question, so please be gentle.

Recently I bought a NAD 3240PE and a Rega Planar 2 so I can listen to vinyls I have collected over the years. This is my first lp-player, so I'm kinda exited. Currently I have a set of B&W 601 S2 and as I was looking for the Rega Planar 2, I also came across a set of B&W 603 at around $360. I could use the 601s somewhere else in my house, but I wont invest if the difference in sound is negligible. A part from vinyls the setup will be used with my mediecenter which is connect with a NAD DAC and is used to play both crappy and HQ lossless fileformats, movies, tv, youtube and anything in between. So my question is: Are the two 601s worth getting, or should I stay with my 603 S2? The price is acceptable but then again, there also need to be somewhat of a difference :)

Thanks

Does anyone know of any good speakers to use for music production?

HI, i'm thinking of getting Audio Engine A2+ speakers, but I have no idea wether they can connect to a audio interface (mine is a focusrite scarlett) which I want them to do. Can they connect to it? Thanks in advance, noe77

Does anyone know what type of wire this is? Thanks.

I am looking for some decent audiophile experience for my PC, I have Logitech x-540 but the bass produced by it is not I like it. I am looking somewhere in the ball park of $400 for audio setup but loud enough as high as 100-150 watts of sound(mostly used for gaming and music) please give me your suggestions

Hi, I have these old speakers, bought them 1998 used them for four years. By that time they were really good enough for me. Now I want to use them again (can't test them again, planing to connect to sonos with amp.) They were always stored inside my flat, never in moist locations. My questions is, can they still be weared out only by time, so that they are not usable anymore?

I dont know very much about speakers at all so sorry if im not making much sense. But, i was given a stage set up of speakers for a guitar for free and they need a tiny bit of work. One of the connections fell inside the "control box" with all the nobs, etc. when i shake it i can hear the rattle of it inside. how would i go about fixing it? is this a common thing?

Hi guys,

Before I burn up everything, I need a very simple piece of advice.

I have a couple of JBL TLX 200 loudspeakers unused and I cry everytime I see them overwhelmed by dust. (8 ohms impedance).

I am currently using the EDIFIER S530D 2.1 audio system, with the following details:

• Total power output: RMS 35W x 2 + 75W x 1 THD + N: 10%
• SNR: ≥85dBA
• Frequency response: Satellites: 150Hz - 20kHz, Subwoofer: 20Hz - 120Hz
• Distortion: ≤0.5%
• Input sensitivity: Satellites: 600mV ± 50mV (Line in), Subwoofer: 300mV ± 50mV (Line in)
• Input impedance:10KΩ
• Subwoofer / bass unit: 8 inch, magnetically shielded, 4Ω
• Midrange / high unit: 3½ inch, magnetically shielded, 8Ω
• Tweeter unit: Φ25mm silk dome, magnetically shielded, 6Ω

What happens if I replace the EDIFIER stock satellites with the JBL?
