Hi folks, this time I need a piece of advice Looking for some nice monitors on my desk to connect with Scarlett 2i2 (I believe it has left and right ports at the back). I want interface to be always connected to my laptop and don’t want to switch over to laptop speakers all the time if I want to listen to some music etc.
What would be best for this solution? Room is quite small so doesn’t have to be a banger just something not too big and ideally on top of my desk perhaps as I already have an amp underneath. Nice quality is crucial to me. Budgetwise up to £100 unless it’s not enough?
Interesting question adi_mrok. I’m using some virtual amp software like Amplitude with my interface and I am looking for good monitors too. I’ll keep an eye on this discussion. Thanks for asking
Thanks Keith for your recommendations, I think those quoted are too bit of a stretch to my wallet for now, I would prefer to set aside some money and get a new guitar or replace amp to MK100.
Behringer option seems cool though, I will see if anyone else recommends something as interesting as this. I read a few comments and someone said there is a bit of static coming off those speakers. If you used those did you hear anything as such?
I use these as the main speakers on my desktop PC. They are quite good and I don’t notice any general static from them. They are, however, quite susceptible to noise from nearby mobile phones on occasion.
These are some that I have for general use, mainly with my TV and as Monitors, they’re exceptionally good for what they cost and don’t take much room up - I think they’re about £85 - 90 on Am4z0n at the moment, this is a good review because it’s after 2 years of use!
Apparently, the ribbon tweeters on my Samson Rubicon 5a monitors - which gave them a lovely top end - have died, so looking for replacements.
Any new suggestions?
Also, since I mostly just plug the speakers into my iPad so I can play over backing tracks, I’m wondering if a set of high quality desktop speakers, or a good TV sound bar might also do the trick.
