I need to buy a good set of speakers. I was originally going to buy a dock for my Zune but decided selection was limited and that I'd be spending more money than I needed. I instead got a cheaper dock that you hook up to your own setup.
The dock has A/V hook up as well as standard 3.5mm.
At the moment I run all my sound at home through my ATH-AD700 headphones. I want to use this dock to hook up to a proper set of speakers. I'm thinking either a 2.1 computer setup or possibly some studio monitors that don't require an amp.
I'm not really well versed in speakers or audio setups outside of headphones so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was originally going to buy a set of z2300 but figured I would be able to get much better sound quality from somewhere other than computer speakers.
I'm looking to spend around 150-250 GBP.
I listen to DnB, Rock, Punk, little bit of acoustic and rap.
The speakers must be able to connect to the dock (I keep all my music on it, don't burn any) via A/V or 3.5mm.
At the moment I'm thinking of maybe the KRK RP5 G2s or the AudioEngine A5s. Would you say either of the monitors require a sub though? I've heard they're quite lacking on the bass side. I'm unable to audition either of them so I can't find out for myself.
I'm not looking for completely overpowering bass, I mean the AD700s are hardly grados and I like them just fine. I'm not looking for beastly bass to pound through the walls and piss off my neighbors either, I just don't want a hollow sound.
