    Small Active Speakers

    Hi,
    Looking for decent sounding (not harsh to ears) monitors which have reasonable input options. Anything @ 50w is more than okay for the intended application.

    Tx to share the options you have heard of.

    Around 15-20k max.

    Tx/brgds

    Heard the Sonodynes at SG ..... they are very good. The dealer in SG does ATC and Sonodyne, so did a brief A/B and found the Sonodynes great especially for the money.

    Nope, did not hear the 16A. The Sonodyne was around ~$1300, so cheaper here ... and it should be since it is proudly made in India.

    Fyi boys, Sonodyne since 2010 has pushed the rates to nearly 60pct. Ak50 the smallest was having mrp of 28k, its now at 42k. Reminiscent of how it went with Cadence once.

    Anyway, for now the requirement is covered, I have picked up Denon RCD N7 yesterday. Many thanks for your inputs. Big hug
