I am coming from HT world after getting very claustrophobic from pre/pro + Power Amps + 5 Speakers and spending more time in tuning the system. I understand that many members here share a common hobby of discussing and experimenting the equipment which is part of the fun along with listening to the music.
My interest level in the equipment hobby has gone weak and I would prefer a simpler solution like ADM9T (DAC+Active speakers with sub out). However I am looking for alternative to ADM 9T as those speakers for me ONLY after an AUDITION (given the mystic truth about the performance of these speakers especially on many forums. I trust the other members on this forum who guided me the right way but at the end of the day I still have to listen to them).
Aafter a light reading, I understand that Professional World is filled with Active Speakers as monitors. I do not understand monitors. Are they supposed to be very neutral and bland or is there more to monitors? What is near field vs mid field or other terms? Are there any such active monitors that work for home purpose (for 6m X 4m room)? I read good about Adam S3A but the design & looks feel so different from a regular home speaker.
A built in DAC is ideal for me and with a budget of say 3000 Pounds (I am completely at peace with used but not abused market)
Kindly help me with suggestions.
