Max,
Well, there are avariety of people on this forum, but many of us are profes=
sional engineers and recordists so if you ask for recs you're going to get =
a list of professional gear....and maybe some 'pro-sumer' gear.
If you're really hard of hearing and cannot distinguish between the output =
of different speakers, then it sure doesn't matter what you get so long as =
you can tell what the recording is.
You can get some Edirol MA7A's for under $100. Maybe go with those.
