What is your feeling about powered vs unpowered in some of these higher
end monitors? I've been eyeing monitors too, and a powered set would
save having to get a separate amplifier.
As I have the ability to be working down into infrasound I've been
watching the low end specs as I looked. Very discouraging, I'm likely to
end up with something pretty big. Which then won't fit.
Note that virtually none of us have mix rooms that are designed for the
purpose. The acoustics are far less ideal. Which is why I do most
critical work with headphones. The sound from the computer equipment
alone is reason enough, it amounts to a large noise component. The fact
I'm often working late at night when others are sleeping is another reason.
