Upgrading my monitor speakers? – Computer Setup and System Configuration Forum

Though you don’t have a professionally treated home space – do you at least use speaker stands/pads, not have monitors too close to walls, address flutter echos, etc? If not, prioritize that.

Listening to pro tracks you like in your home – do they have “an optimal balance with a rich compelling sound?” If so that means it’s possible to get the same results yourself.

The job of a studio monitor is more to be revealing than to sound “good” per se, but I know what you mean about getting used to the presentation of high-end speakers. I’m at a place where I think I’m outgrowing the JBL 305s I’ve been using for the past 6 years.
