Best Bi-amplified desktop monitors for 1,000 bucks?

[jhonsberger@msn.com]

i have a home office ,basically 10 by 10 feet with a Squeezebox
Touch and Cambridge Dacmagic. Im looking for biamplified speakers
with volume control that will sit about 3 feet from me on a large desk.

I listen to mostly rock,jazz,electronica. Ive read reviews on Adam,Genelec,
Mackie,etc.Sadly I dont live in a area where I can't audition these type of
speakers(cause noone has them)

I need some suggestions,with my setup,on what speakers would best fit.I need
speakers with balanced analog inputs.

Thanks!

For Balanced inputs, I like the Adam Speakers. Big fan of their product line.

The Genelecs are great for rock/jazz...

Dynaudio BM5a speakers meet this requirement perfectly.

I just looked at the Adam specs and they are not
Magnetically shielded . That's a deal breaker as I have lots
Of equipment in that office that could interfere with them .

Phil, your costing me alot of money ! Lol.

They dynaudio monitors don't really have a volume control. They only have a small adjustment switch for max level.

This is going to be very hard in the class of equipment you want.

Internally bi-amped monitors that have volume controls will have them per monitor. This means you will have to adjust both monitors to change the volume.

Why not just use the volume control of the Squeezebox? Volume control done in the digital domain (24 bits) is arguably better (and is going to be better stereo matched with bi-amped monitors) than the control done in the analog domain.

Yes I agree with you,but sometimes i like to tweak the analog side.

Genelec have a very good reputation. I have a friend that's a professional musician - he does music for films, commercials, etc. as well as fronting a band - and he uses them for monitors in his studio. He plays various acoustic instruments primarily.
