Best Speakers for my iMac. Audio engine A5+ v's KEF X300A?
jasonovic replied to jasonovic's topic in Headphones & Speakers
Hi Thanks for this. After what I have been told I am not sure it is the speakers I need to replace, I just want a better sound. What I mean by better is obviously a sound to my taste. What I am trying to get is something similar to the separates system I mentioned earlier in the thread. I was lead to understand that monitors give you exactly what was recorded in the studio with no tweaks to the sound at all where as hifi speakers give you a more tweaked sound to cater for a particular taste. Do you think either of the speakers would create more of a sound that I am looking for? -

Hi Thanks for this. What would you recommend as passive speaker and what make of small amp? If I went down this road would I still need a DAC? Sorry Im not a very experience audiophiler! If I am looking for a warmer sound what you recommend? -
Hi Im new to the site and live in the UK. I currently have an iMac to play all my apple Losseles files through iTunes. This is connected to a Music Fidelity V-DAC which runs 2 ROKIT KRK5 active monitors. I want to improve the sound as the monitors are not giving me what I want, I find it a bit sterile. I am used to listening to HI FI separates through some floor standing RUARK Templers that are in my living room. I appreciate I am not going to get the same through my iMac system but I am willing to spend up to £600. As I am already using a good DAC I could just get the Audioengine A5+ active speakers as they dont include a built in DAC, but then I read the KEF X300A reviews that have built in DAC's and as a result I am unsure. I can get a demo of the KEF's but not he Audioengine. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me the benefit of personal experiance? Anything would help.
