Looking for decent 2.0 speakers for Music only. For me portability comes second to SQ so will consider the 'messier' 2.1 setup only in exceptional cases!
Here are the requirements -
* Mostly metal and rock. Some classical and jazz. Little pop and R&B. NO hippy hop and electronic!
* Appreciate mids and detail more than thumping bass and sparkly treble. Although little good ol bass won't hurt!
* Small room so nothing loud, personal listening only. But boxy, hollow sounds can be avoided.
I guess the word is 'big sound'.
* Source: Default soundcard and sansa clip+
* Sonic XP level: Have used headphones like Ultrasone HFi450 and SM PL50, never had decent speakers. Can't audition fancy sets here but heard a friend's iBall Tarang 2.1 - felt bass was overpowering but punchy, lacked detail, metal sounded muddy, recessed mids and avg instrument separation. (good value though! )
* Budget: hmm can go upto 8K but beyond that is just cruel so please refrain from giving me high hopes of 'better' audio! It never ends.
Thank you!
