Speakers |
  |

Hello all, i'm wondering what would be a good pair of speakers to get for a midi controller? I have a M-Audio 88es and looked on their site, and they had some nice desktop speakers

I don't know how fancy of speakers i want, just some nice desktop speakers. thanks!!!! |

I´m really a loudspeaker nutcase, but I have no idea about these desktop speakers.  
Listen to Bill!
Anyways, Yamaha MSP5 might be an alternative. This is kinda like a desktop speaker but is also a decent small studio monitor. I have seen some excellent deals on it out there. It is really good.

So, looking back on the your original post, what do you REALLY want to do with your setup? Can you describe the setup and any music that you may write/perform?? Do you primarily write music in stereo, or, multichannel sound? WE can ten apply some more critical thought.......

Agreed, the MSP7 monitors are awesome.
As for the DEQ and similar devices, personally I´m not all in favour of that way of compensating for room issues. It might work of sorts if you know what you are doing and also working the room a bit in order fix serious room issues. EQ certainly won´t improve time/phase/freq issues. However, I reckon we can discuss in some other thread later.. but I guess doing that here is OT. My bad.. but.. I´m a nut.. I just had to comment on it.

Just got these:

Similar sort of intent as the ones you're looking at, but smaller and cheaper I believe.
They give a really nice, clean sound. I would never master with them, but for a tight space they do the job. |

AND they have a nice 1/8" STEREO AUX IN on the front and also a headphone port on the front of a speaker!! NICE ...
This is a good thread as it shows you really don't have to spend many 100's of dollars to get decent sound from your computer setup.

Yes, agree, you need to know the gear to do it right.
Unfortunately, no, it will not compensate for overall room compensation, just the immediate listening area for mixing purposes.
