January 21, 201214 yr comment_493098 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 Report

January 22, 201214 yr comment_493119 There's an 8" version that was just released at NAMM, too. They're being spoken highly of at gearslutz. Report

January 22, 201214 yr comment_493159 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. Report
January 22, 201214 yr comment_493167 They'd have to be pretty spectacular given they're pushing near used 12l pricing. Report

January 23, 201214 yr comment_493267 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. Report
February 14, 201313 yr comment_561182 I went with 5. Would have gone with 6 but they are a little big for my desk Report
February 14, 201313 yr comment_561183 Ok, As between the 4 and the 5, which is the way to go? 6 or 8. This is d-_-b. Report
February 14, 201313 yr comment_561185 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? Report
February 14, 201313 yr comment_561187 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. Report
