Sonic advice.
Think of getting some new speakers
Alesis M1Active 320 USB
I know these are about the best you can get for £80.

What would everyone suggest interest. Would like to connect
to imac. So USB, airplay would be great.

I can stretch to about £250 max. I have a old style
amplifier.

want to buy some adam a7 + sub8? the sub8 has a motorized
knob that is medium to moderately dope and the frequency
response is flatter than calista flockheart

The Alesis M1 Active MkII series is pretty good, based on my
from years ago research... Sort of like the top-tier of
that low-tier. Or Alesis passive monitors at that tier came
out with good reviews, too (if you have a good amp and audio
interface- can possibly save money buying these used).

Aaanyway... I was actually gonna buy the Alesis active
ones, but I waited a bit and went for Dynaudio BM5A
monitors-- whiiiich were amazing. Since studio people tend
to take care of their equipment, you might be able to get
better bang for your buck by buying a used pair of higher
tier monitors.

tangential... what's everyone do for HDMI, anyways? my
HDMI/LCD monitor has speakers, 1" little shitters. i'm sure
the D2A is crap^2... TV some "digital out" rca jack i don't
understand. i'm guessing you can run that into a proper
fing, though? i remember from looking into capture hardware
that splitting HDMI is a mess due to DRM and lag....

I take it with those M1s you can just plug a line in to play
a device? Not exclusively USB to produce sound from them?

Because that I/o interface is a wicked idea if they have to
ability to act as self powered monitors

"USB 1.1 audio interface"

how's the latency on that there?
also looks like it don't do 24bit, bummer

i dunno, guess that's still cool if you consider it a bonus
feature for laptop/travel and just use the audio in most of
the time !

can you plug ten of them at once? does it force a stereo
pair? the more i look, the less i know.
