I am new to the wonderful world of speakers.. coming from a headphone background (Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Ultimate Ear brands)
I've been looking into some speakers now:
Polk Audio RTiA1
Wharfedale Diamond 10.1
M-Audio Bx2Bx5/Bx8a
Adam Audio A7
I've been advised to look at 2nd hand/used gear to get the best bang for my buck.
Budget: $300 for 2 speakers
Sonic Preference: Vocals, acoustic, classical (detail, clarity, mids, soundstage, seperation and imaging) ex: Ed Sheeran, Adele, Bach.
Room: varies from Office Room (13x8.5) Living Room (24x14)
Usage: Primarily music listening in my office room.. and will move them around to the living room for wifey's Karaoke time.
But.. my main question right now is.. will the M-Audio BX8a suit my purposes? (I found them used on Craigslist for only $200 for the Pair!!!) should I pull the trigger?? I'm still so new to the speaker game.. that I just want to make sure my first purchase is down the right path.
(I have no other equipment, YET)
