How many of you guys have transducers as part of your set up? I attached one to my office chair at home, works rather well.

Had the companion 5's and I was not impressed. For their price bose has got to be the most overrated audio company imo.

 

Also had the harman/kardon soundsticks, wow what a lovely set of speakers and they look excellent!

My father has the companion 5's and I'll admit they are quite "finicky", very directional... As for Bose when it comes to computer use speakers I've never had anything else so my opinion is a bit one sided BUT I have heard the Soundsticks and they are very nice.

LOL that must help to keep you regular as well huh?

 

I have some distance in the main room at Fabric in London which has a wobbly floor as part of wikked sound system.

Remember pro studio monitors need to be 'flat field' so the waveform can be truly represented and therefore don't necessary sound that appealing, compared to consumer / bookshelf speakers which tend to have more low-end / bass giving a "Phatter" sound.

 

Please elaborate..

 

Maybe a link or something??

 

Do you have an idea of how to get the best out of them?

Does anyone know where I can buy any audiophile recordings (CD) in Gauteng, I need some as a Christmas present so online shopping / delivery is not an option.

OK... Is that even legal for house parties?

[YUMEYA]

Got these on either side if my Mac connected with an external Soundcard. The sound that these guys produce is so clear and pure it is just awesome.

 

They are studio speakers used during production.

 

NICE.. I have the Rocket 5 for my PC..
