shellylh Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just noticed that Emotiva has some reasonably priced powered speakers ($399, $599, and $799/pair). Any thoughts? http://emotivapro.com/products/powered_monitors/airmotiv5.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 There's an 8" version that was just released at NAMM, too. They're being spoken highly of at gearslutz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currawong Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have the 4s sitting 4ft or so apart on my desk and a foot in front of the wall with no toe-in and am very much liking them. About all that I can usefully say, given that I don't have much experience with small monitors beyond Paradigm Titans, is that I can clearly determine the differences between what source/pre I use in front of them. The tweeter is pretty good and I have no complaints about the kevlar driver. They are very well screwed together and the only complaint is that they came with one big and one small set of 4 rubber feet, which is a bit stupid. I'm seriously thinking of getting a pair of the 6's for my living room now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 They'd have to be pretty spectacular given they're pushing near used 12l pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadphoneAddict Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Has he ever given anything an unfavourable review? Yep - stock iPod ear buds. of course Tyll ripped into him about how they measured great. Can't win for losing, eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I went with 5. Would have gone with 6 but they are a little big for my desk Jim, are the 5s huge or do they seem reasonable as desktop speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I actually made cutouts of the base and sides of the 5s and 6s. The 5s are approx. the same size as the Audioengine 5 which I used until it developed static in the right channel. Also about the same size as the Quad 9Ls.
