    Need new desktop speaker advice

    This is fairly old and maybe you have them already, but have you looked at Cambridge Audio Minx M5? THX certified options are Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 and Logitech Z-623.

    Behringer Media 40USB look interesting - active, bi-amped and with volume control, headphone out as well as aux in + RCAs in the back... Kind of difficult to get, I suppose, can't find them anywhere.

    If you may have a look, I should be able to listen to at least some from this list: http://www.rnr.pl/k975_monitory_studyjne.html

    I wouldn't say that CS4382 on my X-Fi is worse than PCM27xx that is placed in the Fostex. Anyways, the second option I like better. Now, I've never heard any studio monitor - could you give me a popular model that I could possibly audition at the nearest music store and that would give me an...

    I don't know why, but I thougth it was "sub" (to compliment the monitors), not "usb". Now that's clear. Let me think :). This Fostex dongle is EXTREMELY expensive (costs exactly the same amount as Samson Media One 4a monitors - 77 EUR) and does not have RCA input... Anything else that would do...

    Due to space constraints I was thinking about Topping TP21 - it's 6.8 x 4.4 x 1.7 in and that would fit my desktop. One thing I didn't mention - my wife is using the computer as well and I don't think she'd like the idea of turning on (ond off) both monitors, fiddling with DAC and so on... This...

    What about active vs. passive + amp? Which would be the way to go in that budget? EDIT: Also, I've been suggested by someone that I should look at Simple Audio Listen that were listed for 399 GBP AFAIK and now are sold for 125 GBP. And they have an option for connecting a subwoofer. What do you...

    DAC & Bluetooth I don't need at all. I'd just like to have the headphone out and volume control at hand. If going passive + amp would be a better choice than Alesis Elevate 5 for example, then so be it. If the 2 actives route is FAR better, then I might follow that. Just looking for best...

    Hi Dave, thanks a lot for the answer! Due to my location in Poland Thomann is a much better choice but: a/ the volume knob at the back is a bit of a put off b/ no headphone out in the front is a put off c/ depth is a bit of a problem d/ how do I connect it to my computer? I would prefer...

    Finally! Somebody with knowledge in monitors! Unfortunately, I do not have such a budget. I was thinking about Alesis Elevate 5 (front bass-reflex, which is a plus), Samson BT5 or M-Audio AV40 (lots of overheating issues horror stories floating in the Internet)? Could you recommend any of them...
