Hello everyone, a massive thank you for answering to my post and feeding some great suggestions, which I will keep for when the time will come to expand to a proper studio. For my actual needs I then bought an "Audio Dynamix Atom V2i" to give it a go for a test. They sound so bad I packed it ba

Probably the finest of the "point-source" speakers available these days is the KEF LS50. It uses a version of their Uni-Q driver. (A much earlier version of this driver was used in the KEF Egg.) Measurements of the LS50 by John Atkinson (Stereophile magazine) show it to be an outstanding desi

One word of warning for those using small, active speakers - if these have overload protection (especially if just on the woofers) this can cause really annoying transient image distortion if this kicks in on just one or two speakers without you realising it. Took us several weeks to realise this w

In the "Morning Line" sculpture we used the little Meyer powered MM-4XP speakers which are excellent (and also waterproof - good if you are thinking of working outside). They use a single Belden 1502 cable which has two power cores and a twisted pair - works great but is somewhat tricky to terminat

This is all good stuff. I'd like to add some info about the system aspects. Speaker mounting. This can be nontrivial. I know of one professional periphonic installation where the cost of the stands was more than the speakers. And mounting speakers at height can be very difficult. If the speakers

Thanks everyone for your answers. The Audio Dynamix seems and interesting solution, but I am wondering about how to deal transmitting multichannel via bluetooth. Being a stereo speaker I am thinking to feed both channels with a mono channel to make it an independent speaker. Surely always conn

Here’s my 2 cents: In the studio I use Genelec 6010s with Genelec 7050 subs. At home, I use Orb Audio Mod 1s with their super eight subs. They are basically a rip off of the Gallo’s but cheaper. The great thing about them, (besides good loud sound) is that they are very small, and look great in
